Posts from Counter-heroes in duel mode (3.1).

Watched the latest replay. There were many mistakes made playing as Ravenna, plus the artifact that increases magic resistance on the Steel Golems made it impossible to defeat them with cold damage. I won a similar game playing as Razazak in version 3.0; there was also an artifact on the Golems, many summons for Ravenna, and ultimately, I won.
I think that even with good gameplay, Razazak still needs some luck to win against Ravenna, and quite a bit of it.

yes, I could have hidden the golems; I literally thought about it in the next second. But when you play against yourself, it doesn't become as interesting. And it was already clear what would happen in this match. Okay, I'll try to recreate this match later. And I'll also analyze a couple of Anven-Airy matchups and something else. But I still can't download replays from here, so I'm just talking about my own experience.

To resolve your disputes, I recommend first killing the Titans and Wizards, and then applying the "Sorrow" enchantment to the Golems. Let's see how lucky they get. Just Obsidians alone won't be enough.

Yesterday, I played against an opponent who always uses Ossir. I, in turn, used Iris. We played about 6-7 times. I only lost once, and that was by chance. My opponent has a higher rating than me. Therefore, I can conclude that Ossir is weaker than Iris. There's no point in posting replays; they're all the same: everyone around is using armored units, griffins attack from the sky, Iris places crystals of secrecy, monks attack archers, and archers die from the opponent's volleys.

To put an end to your arguments, I recommend first killing the Titans and Mages, and then applying "Sorrow" to the Golems; let's see how lucky they get. Just Obsidians won't be enough.

Thanks, we've already come to the conclusion that Ravenna is stronger.

Yesterday, I played against an opponent who always uses Ossir. I, accordingly, used Iris. We played about 6-7 times. I only lost once, and that was by chance. My opponent has a higher rating than me. Therefore, I can conclude that Ossir is weaker than Iris. There's no point in posting replays; everywhere it's the same: everyone around is using armored units, Griffins attack from the sky, Iris places Secret Crystals, Monks bombard the Archers, and Archers die from the opponent's volleys.

A player on the "Yubileynaya" map who only uses Ossir is, by definition, a noob, and the rating here is not an indicator; we know how people inflate their ratings:smile42:.
When playing against an experienced player, it might happen that the Griffins attack from the sky once, and even then, they might miss. Ossir can split the Ents into 2 stacks, and the first dive of the Griffins might be their last. Their morale might save them, or it might not. For Iris against Ossir, the only tactic you described is the one that works. Ossir, on the other hand, has several. Of course, sometimes a well-placed line and luck can work in Iris's favor, but they can also work in Ossir's favor.

Oh, Dex has shown himself. Well, if he shares the same opinion, there's nothing to argue about. Version 3.1 is interesting: pairs where everything seemed predetermined are being re-evaluated, and new strategies and replays are being found. Razazak is apparently also powerless against Sinistar; we need to try this pairing as well. Although Razazak is interesting for strong players, it's clear that he was given too little at the start, just like Garun and Deleb. A little more power, and he would be a bestseller. He lacks the strength to defeat the heroes he was designed to counter. Air Elemental - Ossir: here, Ossir can offer a lot to share – he can share Ents, Archers, or even Druids. What he should share is a very complex question. For example, shared Ents are quite quickly defeated, and in a tactical setup, you can easily run into a situation where Crystal + Griffons = no Archers, and there are no cells to retreat to. Or maybe it's not worth sharing anyone at all, and it will be easier to run away from the Crystals, and the Griffons are still quite often (even when morale is low) caught by 12 Ents. It is very difficult to determine what Ossir should do in this setup; I would still not share anyone, or I would separate a group of five Druids. P.S. Razazak is still stronger than Sinistar

I didn't think it would work, but it turned out to be possible: Ravenna defeats Ossir in the Abyss. Of course, the opponent's setup helped, but still...
Another interesting matchup: Ibba vs. Shaka. I think Ibba has a big advantage, as the runes and bear abilities allow her to quickly eliminate the wyverns, and the rest of the orcish troops aren't that dangerous. What can Shaka do here? Although I've lost with Ibba in this matchup, I've never won with Shaka.

Regarding the duel mode...
I found out that you can create your own hero for duels, and I did, but I couldn't play with him. I mean, I don't know where to find him...
I go to: "Multiplayer > Single Player > Duel," but my hero isn't in the list. Where can I find him? Please tell me, urgently.

Regarding the duel mode...
I found out that you can create your own hero for duels, I created one, but I couldn't play as him, meaning I don't know where he is...

Check "Your Parameters" - your hero is located there.

It turns out that Dyrael is a good match against Karl. I tried having Karl use magic resistance runes, but you can miss with the element, and in general, it doesn't work against an experienced opponent. I tried having Karl use lightning runes at the beginning, but that might not work either, and it didn't. Dyrael overwhelms Karl with her power, although maybe I wasn't playing Karl correctly, but I still feel that there are some interesting dynamics in this matchup.

Nope, it's not there... Maybe it's saving it in the wrong place?

Open the Duel Presets folder and see if the hero you created is there (it's quite possible that you created it but didn't save it). If it's there, it means that in duel mode, you check the box in "Custom Settings" and select the desired setting (which corresponds to the "cost" of your hero).

Got it! I used to just put it on my desktop.

Here's a recap: Direal-Axel faced off against the Abyss faction, and it turned out to be a pretty good match. Leonem made a slight mistake towards the end by revealing his Dryads, which led to the Seraphs, supported by Ax's divine power, overwhelming him. Even without luck on his side, Leonem played well overall; it's just that Ax gained a significant advantage towards the end, as is often the case.

Erin vs. Sinistar. For those who don't know: Sinistar can only win if he gets lucky with Armageddon:)
Vittorio vs. Deleb: I haven't played online yet, but I thought Deleb was stronger. However, a few mistakes by Deleb gave Vittorio the advantage. My opponent's main mistake: he placed devils within direct firing range of the ballistae under the blessing of the gods...
Sinistar vs. Karli: It was a very intense battle, but unfortunately, there were too many mistakes on both sides.
Erin vs. Ravenna: Ravenna made many mistakes, which allowed Erin to win.
