Posts from The strongest hero.

I invite you to participate in a poll.
Please adhere to three rules:
1. Only the main characters from Heroes 5 and its expansions should participate in the poll.
2. This does not refer to hero leveling. We are evaluating the strength of the hero based on their biography and the battles they participated in (again, not the ones you conducted yourself, but the ones shown in videos or described in dialogues).
3. Please evaluate objectively and do not judge the character based on whether you like them or not.

Period, period!!! Why is there a period at the end of the topic title?

It seems to me that, considering the rules, the topic title sounds incorrect. And besides, judging a hero's strength based on videos is questionable... The topic is more about the plot (who defeated more enemies) than about the actual strength of the hero.

But, setting aside these points, except for one: I also take character progression into account, and I will say the following: Zephyr seemed to be the strongest hero to me. He is the main hero of the game, he defeated the most enemies (not based on videos, but based on the plot), and his development as a mage is the coolest. Although, Biara did kill Isabel. But Railag defeated Wayer. And the Overlord was killed by everyone together. Sigh...
Perhaps, there is no definitive answer. The developers did not show any hero as being stronger or weaker. But still, I will answer "Zephyr." Based on personal preference :D.

Of course, Aranthir, who won two very difficult battles against Orlando. Also, the team of Railag, Zehir, Railag, and Faydaen is very strong. They were the ones who defeated the Lord himself. But I still voted for Aranthir.

Yes, Aranthir defeated Orlando twice. So what? This is more of a gameplay moment than a plot point. And why do you think these were difficult battles? Perhaps they are difficult on a hero, but Aranthir himself didn't say that!

Yes, perhaps he is the strongest hero among the four. The question is, which one?

I think that, considering the rules, the topic title sounds incorrect. And besides, judging a hero's strength based on videos seems odd... The topic is more about the storyline (who got more kills) than about the hero's actual strength.

But how else? Everyone levels up heroes differently. Regarding the videos:
There are some inconsistencies between the battle and the video. For example, the video of Biara's death. You defeat her with Zeheer, but in the video, she is killed by Isabel.

Aranthir didn't say that, but Ornella did... and Aranthir agreed with her (see screenshot).

3. Please evaluate objectively and do not judge the character based on whether you like him or not.

Why can't we judge a hero based on how much we like him? Or at least based on how much we like the faction? After all, everyone decides for themselves which hero is the strongest. I believe that the strongest hero is the one you like the most.

To help you objectively assess the characters, here is a list of each one's accomplishments.
GODRICK. Participated in victorious battles against Markel and the Overlord.
NICHOLAS. King and bearer of the Griffin Heart; hardly a weakling.
TIERU. Perhaps the most powerful mage in Ashan, creator of the Griffin Heart and the Ritual of True Nature.
AGRAIL-RAILAG. Killed Nicholas, Wier, and Trals, managed to defeat all the Igg-Shail Clans, and then participated in the battle against the Overlord.
OVERLORD. The most powerful demon. Probably...
BIARA. Her strength lies in cunning and the ability to weave intrigues. That's why she killed all her enemies with other people's hands.
MARKEL. Plundered the Silver Cities and killed Cyrus.
ARANTIR. Killed Giovanni and Orlando; also managed to seize the Shadow Skull, which he lost in the battle against the Dark Messiah, in which he also perished.
ILAYYA. Managed to unravel Trals' plans and persuade the Black Dakons to return. Participated in the battles at Thor Hall and Claw.
FAIDAEN. Defeated Biara twice and killed the High Vampire Nicholas. Participated in battles against Markel and the Overlord.
ZEHIR. Liberated the Silver Cities, participated in battles against Markel, the Overlord, and Biara.
GOTAI. Killed Alaric.
FRIDA. It was her spell that destroyed Laslo. She also participated in the battles at Thor Hall and Claw.
Zehir, by the way, also killed Rolf, Wulf's brother

I voted for Faelan; he was my most powerful hero, and I'm still getting to know the other heroes, as I'm only playing through Hammers of Fate.

I'll vote for the Warlord.
The others are either weaker than him – like Tieru; or they are newcomers – like Zephyr, a very young mage, albeit a talented one; or Faidaen – an impulsive and inexperienced warrior (a poet and diplomat :D); or they are rulers of states, or guardians of various cults and laws, or mages and wizards who have reached a certain level of mastery.

Perhaps Aranthir should be the strongest character in the storyline, except for Saref, of course (boo-ga-ga).

There is no artificial intelligence in Ashan :D. But seriously, it depends on the army. And as for the storyline, it depends entirely on the scriptwriters.

I don't know about you, but I like Zephyr!

I'll vote for the Overlord.

I also vote for the Overlord;) Somewhere they even said that he has countless Legions...:smile51:

Feidan and Relag have impressive "service records." They are truly great heroes, but the Overlord is invincible.
