Posts from The eternal question: which heroes are better, mages or warriors?

The best option is battle mages; they cast spells well and fight decently.

As the army size increases, magic becomes less effective in terms of using combat spells. It is better to choose the path of a battlemage.

Of course, a battlemage is better because you encounter different opponents, and this type of hero is versatile against everyone.

I always thought that mages possess immense power, but then I realized that warriors are not much worse! In fact, warriors are even better than mages:smile54:

Mages are good in one area, while warriors excel in another!!!
So, which is better?
Both are good; the main thing is to develop the hero so that he is strong.)))
And to make him strong, you need to adapt to him!!!

Well, if I'm playing as Necropolis, I play as a mage... I either choose Vidomina or Sandro.

This issue was discussed recently... The opinion emerged that a balanced hero is better. Like 15-12-2-2 :)))
In reality, of course, everything depends on the map, but in many cases, you start with a warrior, and after the Dragon Utopia, their magic stats improve slightly as well...

If you create a wizard hero, you don't even need to worry about defending cities (if you have a town portal).
And another plus is that if you have a cartographer, you can open 4 dimension doors per day and collect the desired artifact without any trouble (I often collect cloaks this way).
I prefer Earth and Air magic.

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to religion :-)
But I like mages, or at least battlemages.
The only thing I don't like about mages is that they don't get logistics as often, and I really love logistics :-).
A well-leveled mage can easily defeat a strong warrior with superior forces (Mass Slow, Blindness, Berserk, Explosion, Meteor Shower) + their magic power is quite impressive compared to a warrior. BUT !!!
If the warrior has a Sphere of Inhibition or at least a Cloak of Resistance, then the advantages of magic are nullified, and the warrior simply crushes the mage.
It can be frustrating when you level up a mage, defeat everyone without any losses (Resurrection is great), attack a barbarian who ran up to your castle, thinking "I'm going to beat him up now," but he has a Sphere + Shackles + Tactics... and that's it :-)

So, magic is very good, but there are ways to counter it.
And let's not forget that a mage shouldn't fight on cursed ground.

Well, recently I've changed my opinion because of the online mode... Warrior is preferable ;) But some kind of mass magic is still needed! Definitely....

P.S. I haven't played as a Mage in a very long time... :( I need to at least play as a Mage in single-player "for myself"... I used to only like Mages.

There are always plenty of warriors, but for some reason, mages aren't as popular. Warriors are more straightforward and direct; they just attack and that's it.

I read the whole thread and I'll say that everyone is right in their own way... EVERYWHERE THERE ARE PROS AND CONS... here is a vicious triangle: mage - battle mage - warrior...
Personally, I like the mage, but throughout the game I pray that the opponent doesn't have a cloak, and especially not a sphere...

When I first started playing Heroes, I mainly played as Warriors. Now, I mostly play as Mages. I don't find playing as Battle Mages very interesting. In my opinion, it's better to be a master of one thing.

I personally prefer Warriors, but Wisdom, Earth Magic, and Air Magic wouldn't hurt anyone.

There is a skill called "magic resistance" and various artifacts that help against mages. But against warriors, only strength and MAGIC matter.
