In Heroes of Might and Magic IV, the black dragon is considered the strongest unit, followed by the dragon lord. It has strong stats, high damage, and a lot of hit points. What's even worse is that they can be recruited in the Chaos castle. Let's discuss tactics for destroying neutral black dragons with minimal armies. For example, what is the minimum Haven army needed to kill 15 black dragons?

:D

a tested tactic, requires a lot of grinding, little experience, but it works =)

you need to create a squad of 7 creatures and place one in each slot...
in battle, wait for the dragons to fly in, then try to attack them in such a way that the counterattack hits other dragons (within 2 cells)... do this several times (or once, if you can kill the rest), then finish off with the main army...

it's difficult, but possible )

Be strong. Believe

And if the dragons aren't in groups, then what? Better to have protection against chaos and fire.:cool:

if there are seven separate units, they will definitely be grouped.

Even better would be a ring of great imps. If you can find one, that's definitely the way to go.

If there are seven separate units, they will definitely be grouped together.

In principle, you're right, but then there will be two of them, which is a plus, meaning they won't be able to attack one titan together.

actually, we practiced on bandits (thieves) and the like, but it's better to use Imps (because they fly and can attack from any direction) =))

Practicing on bandits isn't bad; it's better if the hero has fire resistance.

It's not bad against bandits; it's better if it's a hero with fire resistance.

But we're talking about who to sacrifice first so that you can then finish off the dragons. Who will you sacrifice?

The point is, who should be sacrificed first to weaken the dragons, and then finish them off? Why would you sacrifice a hero?=)

If the hero has good combat skills, you can use him as cannon fodder. Also, don't forget about the Zone of Battle enchantment.

:D

If a hero has a high skill in Warfare, they can be used as cannon fodder. Also, don't forget about Defense!

Well, then you won't have to finish them off later =) I think we're talking about weakening them first, and then finishing them off. By the way, this tactic works well against Dragon Lords; they're tough, and I wouldn't let them join my army, unless I teleported them to the enemy's side. And if their troops are close to each other...:D it's going to be fun for whoever gets the roasted units.

By the way, this tactic works well against dragon kings, they're tough guys, I wouldn't let them into my army, unless I teleported them to the enemy camp, and if their troops are close to each other, then...:D it's going to be fun, who gets the roasted units)

with a crispy crust:)
Those kings are something else... They should have an ability like berserkers, that is, uncontrollable:D It would be a disco:D
Now let's try to find the smallest army to destroy 20 Chaos Devils.

One strong unit with a lot of artifacts and potions. :D And a bunch of bottles. P.S. or one Fairy at the beginning of the IronAxe map (in the official version):D

No... I meant a minimal army... without a hero, or with a hero, but he's not a powerhouse.

That's a bit strange. And what if the Champions of the Dungeon aren't just a single unit, but part of an army with a hero? I think that's more relevant than just having a single Champions of the Dungeon unit, as it resembles a final battle.
