Potions of immortality... definitely! :D Afterwards, teleportation potions are very helpful for catching up to the enemy army, or, conversely, for getting to your castle faster! :D Well, potions of cold, and that's obvious, holy water is indispensable against the undead... especially when you drink it yourself! :D :cool:

HMM4 The Gathering Storm : BEST!:cool:

Can you drink it yourself?? Hmm... I didn't know, I thought you could only throw it and say: "Get thee hence! Begone!" :D

Pandora,
it seems you can only drink it during battle. I tried it outside of battle, and it didn't work.

Of course, you can't drink it on the map (I know that, naturally), but can you drink it during battle? I didn't know that...

When playing as Chaos after the Battle of the Bridge, I always get the "mage potion." If I have a little money, I never leave the castle without it. :smile02:

But even better, if you have enough money, stock up on all the potions, drink them, and go into battle:D
It's just that when my army is more or less strong, I forget to drink them before battles, except for the Battle of the Bridge, where you can't do without this potion.

It’s a pity that the potion takes up an entire turn. It’s good that I got the Battle Blessing before… otherwise, it would have been a mage’s potion…

Well, the potion is essentially like a spell, so it takes up a turn, and that's only for the mage's potion and healing potions; the rest are all drunk before the battle.

But why... the same hero potion, the potion of cheerfulness, and so on – most of them are consumed during battle. I'm not even talking about damage potions (cold, fire, holy water).

All of this can and should be drunk before the battle, except for holy water of course :)
By the way, computers love to gulp down Giant's Brew and Hydra Health Potion (appeared in Equilibris, maybe it was there earlier, but I've never seen it) before a fight

It's much better if the hero can deal cold damage from the very first turn of battle, rather than spending a turn on the potion?!

Potions are essentially like spells, so you need to spend a turn on them, and only on mage and healing potions. The rest should be consumed before the battle.

You can drink mage and healing potions (if the commander is injured) before the battle. You can drink mage potions until you're full; even if you have 100 and the accumulated mana, it won't disappear, and even if the hero flees during the battle.

That's understandable; I'm talking about the fact that during a battle, it only makes sense to drink a potion of healing and mana, and a potion of immortality if the effect has been removed or the hero has already taken a significant hit.
