Posts from What is your favorite Tier 2 monster from Heroes of Might and Magic V?

1. Undoubtedly, Furies and Harpies, as they outperform their actual level in strength by 1-2. 2. Wind Dancers. Extremely strong warriors; it's very difficult to defend against them if they have moved many squares. 3. Archers and Nomadic Centaurs.

Furies are great, as are the human crossbowmen, and Centaurs are good too.

Furies are definitely the best, BUT considering the increase in stats...

I would choose the Wind Dancers.

Another candidate is the Harpooners from the Dwarves. They deal a lot of damage. And since they are Dwarves, they are also difficult to kill (high defense).

Well, harpooners also make you limp.

Furies/Megeras rule! :D :D :D

1. Definitely, the Furies. 2. Archers and Centaurs. 3. Wind Dancers and Harpooners. 4. Everything else is just cannon fodder:smile48:

The poll is already closed, but I'll share my opinion. Previously, Furies were probably the best, but now "Archers" have appeared, dealing huge damage for their level. I would choose them.

Archers are the most effective units of the 2nd level; I can attack with them without any penalties, which is a huge advantage. I have nothing bad to say about them, so archers are definitely the best. It's no wonder that the AI tries to eliminate archers first because it knows they can cause a lot of damage.

I think it's simpler than that. Personally, I divide any tier of creatures into subgroups (in this case, 2nd tier):
1) attackers - Sylvan and Dungeon elves, Inferno (2nd upgrade version);
2) tanks - Necromancers, Inferno (except for the 2nd upgrade version), Mages;
3) ranged units - Humans, Dwarves, and Orcs.
From these groups, you can try to choose leaders:
1) attackers - Furies, because they are mobile;
2) tanks - haven't played in a while, but let's say Ghouls;
3) ranged units - Dwarves, because they are heavily armored, which is important in the early stages of the game.
P.S.
By the way, a twisted idea came to mind: give the hero creatures (in our case) of the 2nd tier, both to the player and the opponent, and try to play a match. I think this would allow us to see a more or less realistic level of the player in battle. What do you think?

I like arrows.

I like centaurs and zombies. Centaurs hit very hard with their fury and are very reluctant to die. And zombies... my favorite hero, Orson, can gather a huge number of them... Later, you can't just overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

Definitely archers: they shoot without penalties, deal decent damage, and have good stats. Plus, in a one-on-one battle, they can defeat any level 2 unit.

Furies are quite lovely.

Fury, it’s a pity she’s always the main target.
