Which Tier 4 monster is the best?
There are no 5th-level creatures in the 4th game, and that's why the Citadel is considered a 4th-level structure.
P.S.: Those who have played both games will understand me.)))

Of course, bonus monsters like the Sorceress, Gargantua, Dragon King, etc., are significantly stronger than the traditional 4th-level monsters that can be recruited in a castle... Even though there are no 5th-level creatures, it should be acknowledged that they form their own, special class.
But I find Sea Serpents delightful, they are so plump... and quite strong, by the way...
Has no one ever run from them at sea? :rolleyes:
The best are black dragons...
I think strong options are Magic Dragons, Thunderbirds, Beasts, and Evil Witches :D
Dragons and Manticores are undoubtedly...
But I find Sea Serpents delightful, they're so plump... and quite strong, by the way...
Hasn't anyone ever run around the sea with them? :rolleyes:
:D The Sea Serpent is a unique creature. It's the only one that can defeat the Dragon King in a one-on-one battle.
It's obvious that Sea Serpents are the strongest creatures!
That's just an initial impression. In reality, there is no single strongest creature (some consider the Dragon King to be the strongest).
Example 1: A Sea Serpent can defeat a Dragon King, simply by eating it:))
Example 2: A Dragon King can lose to a single Minotaur (a level 2 creature), but the Minotaur cannot defeat a Sorceress, who cannot kill the Dragon King. And here the circle closes:) i.e., the Minotaur can defeat the Dragon King, but cannot defeat the Sorceress. The Sorceress can defeat the Minotaur, but cannot defeat the Dragon King.
Example 3: A Dark Champion can defeat a Sorceress, the Sorceress can defeat a Sea Serpent, and the Sea Serpent can defeat the Dark Champion. And the circle closes again:)
Conclusion: there is no single strongest creature.
If anyone has questions about Minotaur vs. Dragon King, look for it in one of the topics in section 4. Somewhere there, our Iron Champion explains how to defeat the Dragon King with a Minotaur. And even if you don't find it, you'll learn a lot of interesting things from IronAxe's posts, just like I did.:)
Besides their speed, Angels give a hero a second chance or replenish their losses in battles with neutral creatures, and they also perform very well under buffs, unlike Champions. Regeneration and the Guardian Angel ability are more effective when the stack has a larger health pool. But Champions will attack a more or less strong and resilient enemy unit, and then they can be defeated, and no speed boost will save them. Moreover, the speed boost is only effective on the first turn; after that, the Champions simply won't be allowed to gain momentum.
The same applies to Hydras, unfortunately. The unit is very strong, and it can also be buffed, but when the choice is between them and Champions, well, the Hydra doesn't stand a chance. In Might and Magic IV, speed is one of the most important factors for victory. With Champions, the army will have very high speed (and no other monsters are needed in the army). Also, Champions are good in battle because they can quickly eliminate enemy mages and archers when the heroes are still weak (battles with neutral creatures), while the Hydra also needs to be buffed, which consumes mana that the Chaos Knight needs to conserve, otherwise it will run out at the most crucial moment.

I think that magical and black dragons are the coolest of all)). Magical dragons are cool because of their magic, and black dragons are just very strong))).
Magic dragons (by the way, specifically Magic dragons ;)) are also good, but... they have little HP, they are generally weak in melee combat, and they are useless against resistance. If you are playing against mages, then Phoenixes are better, they are strong and can fly, and they have fire protection, they attack 2-3 at a time (if they are in a group), and most importantly, they can be reborn, if, of course, their mana is not stolen :)
Recently, when playing as Nature, I prefer them, although it depends on the opponent, of course :)
Well, that's just my IMHO :)
Black units aren't just very strong :) They have 100% magic resistance, which is definitely a plus and sometimes the key to victory, although this can also be a drawback, as you can't cast protective or blessing spells on them, nor can you heal or apply regeneration... oh well. But they must have some drawbacks, right? ;) And also... they are quite expensive, requiring a lot of sulfur, and it's difficult to buy them back, and they are rarely produced. But otherwise, they are simply superb units :) Much better than slow Hydras :)
Magic Dragons (by the way, specifically Magic Dragons) are also good, but... they have low HP, they are weak in melee combat, and they are useless against resistance. If you're playing against mages, then Phoenixes are better – they are strong, they fly, and they have fire resistance, they attack 2-3 at a time (if in a group), and most importantly, they can be reborn if their mana isn't stolen. :)

Well, that's just my IMHO. :)
1) It's not resistance, but immunity)) if they had resistance....:rolleyes:
2) Magic Dragons are probably more effective against mages, thanks to the Mirror spell. You won't always risk casting spells on them, and the computer often hesitates to do so (this applies to neutral creatures).
Oh, Phoenixes:rolleyes: with the support of a Druid, Healer, and Tactician... mmm)))
It's so convenient to use them to clear out neutral creatures. :)
By the way, Magic Dragons are worse in that if there is no ranged unit in the army or a Chaos Mage, then you need a larger number of them than Phoenixes to defeat neutral creatures
