Posts from Which monster do you like the most in Heroes 5 at level 5?

Arch-Ilyich with his hyperboloids and Cossack boots.

I like Liches and Unicorns. Liches... they have such a regal air, I wouldn't hesitate to say so. Besides, I'm a big fan of archers. And Unicorns... I adore them just for their appearance. They boost my personal morale.

The liches are awesome! The djinns are really cool!

Liches are great, but only those that attack with a cloud of death. The alternate upgrade is weaker, although it does resurrect undead. And the genies have been improved – they only have 30 health, and that’s at level 5. In serious battles, they are usually the first to die.

Yes, the alternate upgrade for Liches is not very good. It would have been better if they had thrown a cloud.

It’s great that the Lich finally found its place and became popular! They are good in every way. They have a cool appearance and ranged attacks. Cloud is powerful, and magic is also a plus.
Djinn are excellent in combat, so they are immediately targeted as the most dangerous. It’s difficult to gather a large number of them due to constant losses in personnel :) (this is their drawback).
Nightmares excel in initiative and speed, but they die quickly.
Inquisitors are frankly weak.
Hydras are slow.
Unicorns are strong and resilient, but I don’t really like their appearance.

Yes, the alternate upgrade for Liches is not very good. It's better to use Cloud if you throw it.

The second-tier upgrade for Liches also has its uses...

In general, it's difficult to choose at level 5, but by using the process of elimination, you end up with Nightmares and Liches...

Liches are certainly good, but I also like Rune Priests; even though their damage is low, they are quite durable! And their magic is decent! They made Unicorns stronger, which is good, as they were already strong, but still!

Djinn are awesome... they have good speed, decent attack, and use magic, so they are my choice! And don't forget about Nightmares! :)

I prefer Hydras – they are vicious and resilient, exactly what is needed.

Yeah, someone was right about that. Hydras, of course, are decent, and in the fourth game, and even the third, they have good damage, capture ability, stats, retaliate, and they attack in groups. They seem like a real marvel of nature. But in reality, things turn out differently. Either the hydras don't get to take their turn, or they're already too late to do anything. And besides, you could use them to reach the enemy's side in one turn, just like knights with charge, rushing in and taking out whoever they can. There are exceptions, of course, at levels 6-7. So, forget about these worms. Or, if you've decided to use them instead of black dragons to take out three units at once, it's already too late, buddy, it won't help. As for the sprites, yes, their stats might not be the most perfect, but they are one of the strongest and best ranged units in the game, and they have been throughout all the games. They have good damage, capture ability, a magic cloud, and overall, they're exactly what you need. And the inquisitors, like the monks in previous games, are just a strong, powerful unit. I just don't remember if they have a penalty in melee combat in the 5th game. Djinn, as is their tradition, are incredibly slow. Apart from standing still and casting spells, I haven't seen them do anything else. Except for the spectacular magical transformation from a blue, smoky haze into an Indesit teapot, or Whirlpool, if they even have it. Nightmares are also nasty, but that's when they're fighting against you and taking turns one after the other. But when they're on your side, who in their right mind would send level 5 units to be slaughtered on the enemy's side of the battlefield when you haven't even used succubi or pit lords (or whatever they're called in the fifth game, the lords of some anus)? Unicorns are generally unremarkable; I've never encountered them, so they don't stand out in any particular way.

And what’s this, noble representatives of Dungeon, why did you give the person so many dislikes? Did you get offended that he called the hydra a worm? It’s not good, of course… but what can you do, he didn’t mean any harm, he just has a unique and original way of speaking, I would even say it’s distinctive… :-) and there is logic in his words…

What’s with you, noble representatives of Dungeon, giving this person negative votes? Did you get offended that he called a hydra a worm? It’s not good, of course... but what can you do? He didn’t mean any harm; it’s just his original way of speaking, I’d even say it’s unique... :-) and there’s logic in his words...

Thank you for the compliment about being “noble representatives,” but it wasn’t because of that that “this person received negative votes” (at least, not from me)...
As for the logic... Well, here’s what I think:
Furies and Riders don’t survive the first turn in 80% of cases. Hydras and Minotaurs last the longest. And what else does a Warlock need? So, Hydras are the anchor of the Warlock’s army, providing him with the necessary number of casts in battle. And as for the fact that they don’t reach the enemy – I strongly disagree. The Sudden Attack perk hasn’t been canceled yet.

The meaning of that post is hard to grasp. If the author doesn't change their style (it sounds more like a bunch of thugs arguing), they have no place on HW.

Hehe, I only managed to read it halfway through, then I ran out of steam. Thanks to mdanse for summarizing everything!)))))))))

or whatever they're called in the fifth part, the rulers of some anus.

Yeah, it's probably better that I didn't finish reading it.
