Hmm... I agree about the fire, but I like the set of spells and defensive buffs this hero has, and I agree about the tactics – you need to be very skilled at playing as Inferno to make the most of it. I think that at a high skill level, this is one of the strongest opponents against everyone... but these are just words; it would be more interesting to watch some good recordings of battles.

Please: I eliminate Marbas with Sinister and Ossirus, which easily defeat Marbas. It should be noted that if Ossirus immediately destroys the devils, Marbas has no chance.
And here's another battle where, conversely, I defeat Marbas with Dyraelle, which is quite difficult to do – unicorns saved the day, blinding both stacks of devils for the entire game.

Thanks, I'll check it out when I have some free time.

Helmar defeats Iris. This doesn't happen often.

Using Plague on Warriors is ridiculous. It immediately shows that the opponent is a newbie. :) A rare instance of a balanced victory against Ossirus:

Today, I woke up at five in the morning and decided to log in to the server. It's the only time I have to play. I played a couple of random matches against players from overseas, and here's what happened: Marbas vs. Ravenna. It's obvious what happened here; I just wanted to show a trick where I throw Archdevils to the front lines, in case anyone doesn't know. And honestly, I did it almost instinctively; I'm starting to forget things, or maybe my mind is just clearer in the morning. Vittorio vs. Garuna. It's a classic, and I was lucky, of course, but that doesn't make the victory any less of a victory.

An interesting battle between Ibba and Jalib took place. Although, it seems to me that erazial made a slight mistake at the end and gifted me the victory. Axel defeats Shak. To be honest, I wasn't playing very strategically, as I thought my chances were slim. Of course, Shak made mistakes, attacking with wyverns against the Watchtower, but still... it's very pleasant to win like this.

It was an interesting battle between Ibba and Jalib. Although, it seems to me that erazial made a mistake at the end and gifted me the victory.

Not exactly a mistake, he just took a risk and lost. He should have resurrected the rakshasas instead of using Divine Punishment. And the phoenix had a chance to take out the last dragon, but it didn't work out. Good thing you recorded this battle, it will be a lesson for me :)

Replay of Nimus's victory over Ossir (incorrect setup by Ossir + my luck).

And one more. Axel vs. Anven on the Abyss map. I could have won! But everything was decided by a mistake in the middle of the battle when I cast Haste on Axel instead of the monks. Because of this, I didn't have enough mana at the end to raise the crossbowmen.

A few interesting battles.
1. Razak wins against a blue Sinita Domovoi.
2. Garuna didn't play very well here, but the fact that Razak wins with less than 10% losses is interesting.
3. An old replay: Jaleeb against Haggash Erathial. And a question about this matchup: does Jaleeb always win nervously, or could he have played better?:confused:.

Somewhere in this thread, there's a replay of Haggeesh (House Spirit) vs. Jaleb (me), and it's a bit tougher... But overall, yes, Jaleb is stronger, but sometimes it's nerve-wracking.
Oh, I found it.
And here are a couple more replays about Daleb. There used to be a woman who defeated everyone, but now... sometimes she can't even beat anyone.

Which hero is best suited to defeat Iris?

Counter-hero Iris - Deirdra (wins in more than 70% of cases with the correct casting order).
Ossir seems to me to be still stronger than Iris, if both players are of the same skill level. Also, a lot depends on the lineup, in particular, which hero goes first (it is more advantageous to go second).
Anwen can also win with some luck.
The other heroes against Iris, in my opinion, have very little chance, although it is possible to win with Axel, Vitya, Jalib, but this is already for expert connoisseurs:)
All replays are already available; you just need to browse the thread starting around page 6 (before that, the conversation was about version 3.0).

Thank you for the advice.

Another Sinistar. If you're lucky, he'll defeat the Iris; the main thing is to catch the Royal Griffins.

With Sinister, I win against many players, but I only managed to win against Iris a couple of times.

I haven't been playing much lately, so there aren't many interesting battles. Nevertheless, I'll post two replays.
Haggesh versus Razzak. In my opinion, the key to winning with Haggesh is to keep the leaders alive. This is the only unit capable of tearing apart steel golems with enough rage.
Deydra versus Viti. It's rare to win, as Deydra runs out of mana very quickly, and usually no one manages to break through before Viti's shooting brigade. Here, Viti made many mistakes, and the battle turned out to be intense. The skeletons running across the field from the battle griffons were amusing...
