If it weren't for the absolutely unnecessary mana regeneration skill, she would be an indispensable heroine.

Even the sun has its spots.

At the beginning of the game, this ability is very helpful, as it allows you to revive many more of your fallen soldiers.

I agree to some extent. Once a spiritual connection is established (and it will be established very soon, as Necromancers have racial skills that appear more often than other races), the skill loses some of its meaning.

Yes. It's exactly like that – a battle until the very end on level 5. After 5 resurrections, only 1 life remains.

Don't unnecessarily scare people. Tell me how often you have 5 knowledge points for Necropolis by level 5? 3 is already difficult to achieve. Also, tell me how often you get Battle Defense Proficiency (BDP) with Orson on level 5, considering that the probability of racial skills is higher, and most importantly, the probability of secondary skills appearing, i.e., those derived from Endurance, is much higher than that of Evasion.

In general, on the map with the dragon passage, the keymaster's tent is cleared by the end of the 1st week.

Orson (since we're talking about him) by the end of the 1st week? And how many times out of 10 does this happen to you in online mode? With Casper, yes, it happens most of the time. Even titans sometimes fall on day 6, and you can still manage to escape to the castle. But with Orson... Maybe you can share some statistics?

I don't have any online experience. However, the Dragon's Pass map offers the possibility to double mana. I agree that level 5 is achievable only with extreme luck, but the developers could have fixed this method (at least by setting a limit of 5 battles without regeneration after resurrection), as this allows you to defeat even 7 stacks of 9999 Black Dragons (although the battle would last for several days). I would like to know if anyone has statistics or a link with information about which other faction can take Utopia or defeat the dragons by the end of the first week.

If you really want to, you can fly into space (quote).
In 3.1, due to the AI's stupidity against Summoning, any hero with a Crystal and enough mana for 2 casts tears through any number of dragons (except, perhaps, Emerald Dragons due to their initiative and speed, but even then, you can find a way) and takes Utopia of any difficulty level with a direct attack.
So, Orson's strength is not in quickly getting a Battle Standard.
Yes, here is a replay (watch at a very fast speed so you don't fall asleep):

I take back my words. Even with Orson's ability to fight to the last, you can't defeat all large creatures :( (however, you can acquire this ability before the end of week 1). And the bug with the Secret Crystal definitely needs to be fixed. One more thing: explain to a newbie how Kaspar defeats dragons in week 1. With the Plague Tent?

With a fire ballista?
It depends on the circumstances again...

But in any case, a rapid-firing ballista deals more damage than a plague tent. And if you use fire arrows, then you can really do some very terrible things...

The bug with the Secret Crystal definitely needs to be fixed. Also, explain to a newbie how Kaspar defeats dragons in the first week. Is it with a Plague Tent?

They're playing on Veteran difficulty and are guarding the Keyholder with around 7 level units. Usually, there are about 6 of them. Skeleton Archers, a tent (but not a Plague Tent, as it's not efficient), a Ballista (without Offense Skills, as you won't have time to acquire them), a Rogue Dungeon, and properly positioned Zombies and Ghosts usually manage to handle it, albeit with some losses. Plus, you can also use the Luck Shrine. However, if there are 8 Titans, it's probably game over. I have a more interesting question for you: where do you get Vampires in the first week? Or should posts about Vampires and taking the Keyholder on the Passage be logically separated? Although, even without them, you can actively use the Bandit Defense Post. And returning to Orson, I'll note that, in my humble opinion, he's not a very stable hero. It's quite easy for such guards to spawn on the map (on a somewhat random map) that they'll wipe out the Zombies in the early stages. At least on maps where Ghosts are readily available, I prefer Archers over Zombies (and alternate Skeletons). Therefore, the choice of the starting hero depends on the external structures and the presence of a fort at the start. You should also remember the specifics of the Guardian Order (if there are any) in advance. Fortunately, as already mentioned, the heroes of Necropolis are well-rounded, diverse, and suitable for almost any situation.

Regarding the dragon passage: Vampires are built on day 9. Moreover, if a high-level creature has a higher initiative than the vampires, the vampires will fail. But with luck in getting the necessary neutral creatures...

I don't understand the voting at all :) Why are there so few votes for Kaspar and so few for Lucretia? After all, for the second one to be useful, a long game is needed. And the first one won't allow such a game :) Kaspar and Vlad are definitely the best ;) the rest are almost on the same level.

That is, I wanted to say that there are many votes for Lucretia))) I'm on my phone. I can't edit it.

Vlad and Kaspar are definitely the best.

I don't deny that Vlad was dominant before; he was the only one with resurrection at the start, but now that everyone has it, he's become much less powerful. Do you disagree?

I'm on my phone. I can't edit.

You're lying; you can edit everything there; I used to do it myself:p

You're asking: Of course, I'll argue! I didn't call him the best just for his looks. They're both the best because of their ability to quickly transition into a rush strategy. Vlad gets fire warriors on the first week with 100% certainty; this allows him, in conjunction with Spiritual Link, to crush everyone without any problems. You can't achieve that as quickly with others. Regarding editing posts: I'm using Opera 2.0. What program did you use that allowed you to edit posts?

Vlad gets the Fire Warriors on the first week, 100 percent.

Well, if that's the case, Naadir gets them just as quickly. But I generally agree, Naadir is great for the Conflux, just in case, while Vlad is more of a rusher.

P.S. Opera Mini, I don't remember the version, I used it about six months ago.
