Who plays with which heroes for the Inferno faction? Which heroes are the strongest for Inferno, and what are their key advantages?:rolleyes:

I always play as Deleb in the beginning when playing as a demon; she's really good. It's true that her abilities were significantly reduced in version 3.0.

Deleb is always a good choice. The others are only good in specific situations...

Against Warlocks – Marbas. In quick games – delegation. In long games – Grok.

Rush is definitely better than Daleba, but for long battles, I rely on Nimues; the main thing is to develop him correctly.

Deleb... most often it was him... well, sometimes "Speedster," I don't remember his name...

I also like Speedster (Grok) because the teleport for 4 mana makes the start a little easier, plus it allows for quick leveling up to Sudden Attack, which is definitely a plus. Nimue is also good. She's the best choice for the late game. And, strangely enough, sometimes you can even choose Nibros, because against demons, the Tactics skill is almost always leveled up to counter their tactics, and Nibros will retain it in any case.

my choice is Grok for large maps and Nibros for small ones... although Nibros can also be used on large maps... even though his skills won't improve much in the future... building troops is still a very important factor (I once fought against him... the computer arranged my troops so badly:( )... in general, this hero is worth it.

and regarding the Delegate skill, it has been noticeably reduced, and now I rarely choose it.

in general, I think the ideal balance of skills for an Inferno hero is when not only the basic skills are upgraded... you need at least Dark Magic. and in general, I try to increase Spell Power as much as possible... Knowledge isn't very useful for him, since he has the ability to consume souls for mana + Imps - this is hell for mages and paradise for the Demon Lord... and with the right setup, the damage from the Hellfire skill will be impressive.

Daleb wasn't nerfed that much; there's a reason she's banned in tournaments. She's still very, very strong. So, don't underestimate her.

I also like it in 3.0! And probably the most optimal late-game hero is Nimue.

Seriously, does anyone even read more than one line of a post?
I'm not saying that Deleb is completely useless now. But dealing 1 damage per turn with a fireball until level 6... what's the point?
Of course, the damage will be huge in the late game (at level 20, it deals 18 damage :eek:)... but even the ballista now deals more damage than Vittorio (I checked)... And the most optimal option for the late game is Nimus, because it allows you to develop the main demon specialization, and the number of troops you can summon when opening the gate can be twice as much, or even more, if you're lucky.

Deleb has practically lost her specialization. In general, you are right, Vittorio is significantly better. But on the other hand, how many stats do demons have in attack and knowledge? And how many do humans have? Exactly. And she's still useful for rushing; a machine gun is a machine gun. In general, I probably wouldn't take her for the late game either, as you already said, Nimus looks great, and if you manage to assemble a set of demons, it's even better ((which is quite possible, the Helmet of Chaos can be given at the start, although I'm not sure about that))

It seems like the Helm of Chaos can be obtained from the start, although I'm not entirely sure.

Yes, it's possible, but the chance is very low...
I'd like to discuss Grok as a candidate... For example, I don't understand why many people choose him for the late game...

Grok can be effective in the late game due to his strong early game (if he manages to acquire units on levels 1-3, he's arguably stronger than Daleb) and the ability to use teleportation strategically after capturing a light unit. Also, in the late game, he can function without relying heavily on units, sacrificing some early-game speed but accelerating in the mid-game.

Due to the nerf to Deleb, rushing renegades with Vittorio has become unrealistic because of the archers, but otherwise, it's still just as dangerous:smile01:. I'd give it an 8/10. The choice changes depending on the situation...
