It seems that everything has already been said and discussed. But we forgot about the items that the hero carries with him. So, what equipment is most suitable for a particular hero?

OOOO... This thread is just great...
In general, I don't even throw out junk from my hero's bag (we always carry everything with us).
Before battles, I equip myself with artifacts that provide maximum protection for me and deal the most damage to the enemy (I don't mind changing gear every single time)...
But what I like most is this combination of artifacts against Black Dragons::smile10:
1Armor made of Dr... dragon scale :)
2Shield of Order
3Sword of Celerity
4Mullich's Helmet of Leadership
5Guardian's Robes
6Ring of Regeneration
7Ring of Protection
8Arrows
9Sniper Crossbow or Barbarian club

PS(sometimes I change something in this combination)

It’s a shame that you can’t equip gloves and rings separately! And I also collect all the artifacts. I take them from strong enemy heroes and give them to my weaker ones. For example, I capture a Castle and give the artifacts remaining from the previous owner to the hero I bought in it, except for those that I need myself. For example, the “Bow of the Elven King” is an invaluable artifact for Life, where archers are mainly built!

Yes, by the way, if gloves and rings could be placed in separate slots, that would be great...!!!!!!!!!
:):):) This should be noted by the game developers so that they release an expansion pack with such features - it would be wonderful:):):)

I like the Ring of Life, especially when you have two of them!

Yes! And give them to a Barbarian! Or a Druid, and let him direct the dragon's power onto himself! But I'll trade this ring if I come across a "Warlord's Ring" or a "Protective Ring". After all, the army is more important!
Honestly, the game developers could have added a level restriction for wearing powerful items. They did something similar for spells!

Artifacts are my weakness... and generally one of those things that I consistently love about the fourth game. :smile02:
It's hard to name my favorites right away, but I love all sorts of books (especially the Archmage's book) - this shows my constant desire for knowledge :smile01:
Of the rings, the coolest one is the Ring of the Elements (although it doesn't look very impressive) and the Ring of Regeneration.
I like cloaks and pendants (the Necropolis one and especially the Scarab of Speed, which gives a large bonus to summoning during battle).
That's all for now. Hello everyone! :p

That's for sure. All artifacts will come in handy. Fortunately, there is no limit on how many you can carry. In some RPGs, there are penalties (for example, the hero moves slower, etc.). So the developers could take note of this fact. But it's better if they don't :)

I've noticed that I get more pleasure from fighting for artifacts than, say, for resources or knowledge...

I usually equip my hero like this:
Before a battle:
1. If the enemy is a mage, I try to equip artifacts that provide protection against spells or reflect them.
2. If the enemy is not a mage, I equip combat artifacts (shield, sword, arrows, bows, etc.).
During normal gameplay (just moving around the map), I equip artifacts for movement (boots, sandals).

:D

I like artifacts that allow you to replenish your army directly during a campaign (Charm Necklace, Diplomat's Order, etc.). Although this bonus isn't large, it can be useful when far from your castle. For example, it can be used as cannon fodder to break through gates or to take out the most powerful enemy unit in a single attack. The main thing is to have more neutral creatures on the map. All other artifacts are sometimes vitally necessary, but I prefer those that increase the army's strength. A hero without an army primarily needs artifacts with resistance and a powerful ranged attack (so that the enemy, even if they reach the hero, can't do much damage). Personally, for leveled-up Barbarians, I consider armor and a ring of regeneration to be the most valuable artifacts.

When playing as Haven, skeletons raised by the amulet for necromancy are very helpful! :D Or fairies created by the druid's amulet, when playing as Haven! :D

...Personally, for well-developed Barbarians, I think armor and a ring of regeneration are the most valuable artifacts.

I wouldn't say so! Two rings for life are enough, and it's not so easy to take down the Barbarian himself, you can even go to the battlefield with gloves for movement! :cool:

Zdob mentioned it earlier, but I'll repeat it anyway. The combination: Amulet of Fear or Mask of Terror + Halberd of the Agile Guard. And that's it! You can use a hero, alone on the battlefield, against melee units without mind immunity. For example, against Orcish Mages, they try to attack, but the hero strikes them first, inflicting fear, and the Orcish Mages retreat. The hero's turn: he strikes, they retreat again, and so on. (Note: Pikemen can deflect the first attack, and the hero's archers can shoot them before he reaches them.) Otherwise, that's all. I used this to level up a hero to level 60. He was originally a Rogue, and camouflage is effective.

Hmm... with this set, a Mage can even go against Black Dragons, if the level isn't too low. Although resurrection potions solve that.
