Hello! After watching a certain number of gameplay videos, I often see authors choosing heroes that, in my opinion, are weaker than the ones they also have. Could you please tell me what criteria should be used to choose a hero and what should be taken into account when doing so?

Starting armies, starting units, and other.

I understand. I'm not talking about which hero to buy as a decoy or just for their army. Let's say I have 8 heroes; how do I choose which one to make my main hero?

Tazar, Crag Hack, or any specialist with logistics skills or who starts with it (Moner, Pyra), any Necromancer...

Recently, I watched a game where a player, playing as Conflux, chose the Jabrakas faction, even though its specialization doesn't suit it at all. Why him, specifically? Because it's geared towards offense, and that's what Conflux needs.

Barbarians are good heroes in general, possibly even the best, and they have good chances of getting all the necessary skills. Plus, the Conflux benefits from having a hero with a focus on attack in the early game.

Does the hero's specialization play virtually no role here?

It does, of course. Therefore, when choosing between Kraal and Jabarkas (both un-leveled), for example, it's usually better to choose Kraal in 99% of cases. But if he starts to level up poorly, and Jabarkas gets logistics with earth, you can switch.

Well, here, Crag is clearly in a league of his own. But let's say there's a choice between Jabrakus and Krellion. Both are level 0. Which one should you choose and why? What stats should you prioritize?

Visit both experience stones or eat a treasure chest. And see what they give. Or flip a coin.

Well, here, Kraag is clearly the best. But let's assume there's a choice between Jabrakus and Krellion. Both are level 0. Which one would you prefer and why? What stats should you look at first?
Have you considered that at levels 2-3, the Conflux has the strongest archers? And yet, there isn't a single hero there with archery skills. By maxing out archery (which can be done by level 3), Jabrakus increases the army's ranged attack by 1.5 times – no Kraag or Krellion can do that. And if he gets other useful skills later on, you might not even need Kraag. I think it depends on what kind of army the player decides to rely on.

Okay, I think I understand a bit better now. Thank you for your help. I'll practice and try to approach hero selection from a different perspective.
