I’d argue Thant is the best necropolis hero for early game, really quick start and almost ensures you lose no troops fighting wild creatures.

Sir Mullich is pretty much the best hero for every town except for Necropolis. +2 to unit speed is *massive* and something every town can appreciate. Plus starting with advanced Leadership, Mullich is the best choice for running mixed armies.

[@cuongpham6218]

I think the best hero of Conflux should be Luna, who has Fire Wall specialty and Wisdom + Fire Magic as starting secondary skills. If you utilize the Fire Wall strategically, you can wipe out a big chunk of the map in the first week with her and only one sprite, which is utterly crazy.

[@richiabosuli3193]

I'm really not too familiar with Conflux, so I had to look up some of their heroes. Her starting skills sound nice though.

[@cuongpham6218]

There's a video called the power of Luna, which demonstrates perfectly her crazy power. You should check it out!

[@hieuhominh4419]

lol cancer strategy.Been there done that haha

[@cuongpham6218]

Not to mention that Luna and Conflux heroes in general tend to get very nice boost in Spell Power and Knowledge when they level up, that and the fact that 4 out of 7 creatures of Conflux have immunity to Armageddon make them a real pain in the ass in magic warfare lol

[@jkringas1]

galthran isnt that good with the cloak of the undead king, and a necromancy hero can raise at least 3x what galthran can, 3 skeletons vs 1 high attack and defence skeleton= 3 skeletons win

[@bluetounge]

I disagree with Tower: Cyra STARTS with Diplomacy and Wisdom aswell as having Haste spec which grants you 'some' of the fastest unit speeds in the game.

[@msoulforged]

diplomacy is usually banned in mp. but you are right chain lightning loses its potency extremely fast in larger games. dealing 2k damage is nothing on late game armies and a mass haste would be much more effective

[@Fx2real]

[@statisticserinokripperino]

@@aleksandarjankovic39 You are completely oblivious to the well-known fact that late game diplomacy is the most overpowered skill in the entire game, just like necromancy. The former legitemately allows you to acquire stacks of bazillion creatures at various levels, which, as has already been pointed out, is purely reliant on luck. Yes, it can be countered - but only in case your opponent has diplomacy. If they get luckier with it, your diplomacy is countered. Don't you see the problem here? I fail to see how the argument "you do not want lose" makes any weight here. I mean, yeah, I do not want to lose the entire 420-hours long XL size match because my opponent got 1448 archdevils via diplomacy - that is some utter and imbalanced crap.

[@CragHack]

Very good video. However, I have to disagree on Solmyr. He IS the best hero for Tower, but chain lightning becomes progressively LESS useful, just as all the damage spells. In late game you tend to use mass spells, while damage spells make small difference. In early game it's the opposite, there chain lightning can be a game changer, especially if facing neutral shooters.

[@mitromney]

Yes Tower lacks good champions, that's the only thing that makes Solmyr good. Chain lightning is not that useful without mana sustain which you don't have early game, and as a spell it falls off a big deal late game because you can hit your own units most of the time when you'd like to use it, and when you actually can use it, the spell does not really deal that much damage. Not to mention you are very likely to have it in your town's level 4 guid anyway, because it's an air spell that Tower specializes in. Yeah... Solmyr is not that great. Honestly, I prefer to take any alchemist, especially some who gives you gold or other goods every day, since Tower has BIG financial problems, and alchemists have more evenly spread stats then wizards (wizards will almost never get a single attack/defense stat which makes their armies very weak in the long run)

[@SarielSol]

Neela is the best for late game Tower. Scholar is not the greatest secondary skill for a main hero, but her armorer specialty makes up for that.

[@VersusARCH]

Not too useful if the enemy comes in 1-2 stacks or is immune to lightning.

[@NizziNine]

Damage spells makes small difference in late game? You my friend has never had expert earth, the earth orb, high spell power and the Implosion spell 😉 I seriously agree on the chain lightning spell though, in late game its a killer if u use it at the start but you never do, you use haste or slow or something

[@metiuu398]

@@NizziNine when you will have high spell power and earth orb it would be like week 2/3 so stacks of creatures would high, you wont deal enough damage with damage spell and if your opponent will cast haste/slow you are done

[@yozezebe816]

In my experience you should always focus on magic. Try to bring earth, air or whatever you are offered to master and you would be the most successful, but check the spells in the mage guild first. I have never been that effective with focusing on might heroes or might abilities.

[@samarnol3808]

Used to be a Tower player as a primary and played with Solmyr almost 100% of the time. Converted to Stronghold as my primary and ALWAYS used Crag Hack.

[@GokuTheGod0104]

Nice video, I like the thorough explanation. Just have several comments: 1. You probably won’t believe this, but Lord Haart is actually a very good Castle hero. I know most people disregard him due to the Estates specialty, but he almost always gets the best secondary skills (air magic, earth magic, offense, logistics...). He also gives INSANE income if you level him up a bit. 2. Ivor is a beast if you play Rampart and prioritize your elves. He gets a lot of attack primary skill points as well. 3. Neela needs some love she deserves. She’s basically the female version of Tazar, just sucks that she starts with Scholar. But with some luck (if she gets the other right secondary skills) she’s pretty much broken. 4. Gundula is the Battle Mage version of Crag Hack, and she also deserves more love. Though she’s not quite as devastating in the early-mid game, she eventually becomes a real beast with her Offense specialty as well.

[@simonspacek3670]

For rampart I do not agree with Elves, because they are always the primary target, so I never have enough of them. But Ryland (if I remember the name correctly) has Dendroid and that is amazing unit. And Crag Hack has definitely a very good PR manager, I think Gurnison is better one, because Ballista with high attack is practically 8th unit.

[@KutaphoneX]

Do you know how much speciality of a hero influences on the level of units, that they are leading? You say it's +3/+3 for psyhic elementals, I wonder if it works the same with lower lvl units..

[@blackwidow7804]

Great list and i agree but here are few honorable mentions: Stronghold: Dessa, speciality logistic and start with logistic and wisdom. Inferno: Aiden, speciality inteligence and start with inteligance and wisdom. Necropolis: Vidomina and Isra, speciality Necromancy and start with advanced one; Thant, speciality Animate dead, start with this spell and often many other level 1 spells Dungeon: Jedite, speciality ressurection, start with this spell and advanced wisdom; Shakti, speciality Troglodites, start with basic offence and tactic and can have up to 3 stack of Troglodites.

[@richiabosuli3193]

Nice choices, logistics is one of the best skills to have imo, and advanced necromancy in the beggining for Necro is also great

[@blackwidow7804]

Richi Abosuli yes and some heroes are banned in competitive games. For instance Sir Mulrich and Galthran as well as the logistic heroes so you must choose somone else.

[@thatdudewelove8498]

Tyraxor is also another Stronghold hero to consider. He's got a less than optimal specialty, but he does start with Offense and Tactics, not to mention he is a Barbarian, which means the skills he learns as he levels up is more favorable, like Earth, Air, Logistics etc.

[@Benkenobi8118]

Ayden is amazing for Inferno.

[@velko2433]

I always choose Dessa for Stronghold :) For Necro i always choose Thant

[@opperbuil]

I am surprised not to see more armorer specialty heroes here. The logistics heroes were a surprise, but Clausewitz is with you! (It was Clausewitz who came up with the quote that resembles "when talking strategy, noobs choose tatctics, pro's choose logistics" for RL wars)

[@rafachrzaszcz6997]

To me, in Dungeon Deemer is the best. His meteor shower is really powerful in the beginning of the game. With expert earth magic we can also gain Implosion and Town Portal, which makes playing it almost cheating. Let's add the building that gives double magic point and artifact merchant available in this city...

[@simonspacek3670]

I also pick Deemer, because meteor shower is damn strong. Plus in nearly all games I got Fire magic and sorcery and combination of Black dragons and Armageddon is devastating. Also Deemer has higher chance to get Spell power (at least I feel this is happening, I would say that 50% of level ups with him are Spell power) so he is truly devastating mage.

[@DOGEreal]

@@simonspacek3670 Fire Magic is bad, and sorcery is an Awful skill. It doesn't make a difference. Whoever, Deemer is actually much better than Solmyr thanks to the skills and Mana Vortex and Meteor Shower is better in early game than Chain Lighting.

[@simonspacek3670]

@@DOGEreal In Fire magic, you have Berserk and watching enemies army wipeout itself is kind of amazing. And as I mentioned, Armageddon can also solve a lot of problems. The rest of Fire magic is... well... not that needed. Maybe Bloodlust and Curse, but for that you need expert level and in that stage your enemy might have Expert bless.

[@racjonalizm_0309]

After playing more games, especially on random maps, there have been some changes to my decisions I pick the two best heroes from each city: - Castle: Sir Mullich and Loynis - Rampart: Elleshar and Kyrre - Tower: Solmyr and Neela - Inferno: Zydar and Ayden - Necropolis: Sandro and Thant - Dunegon: Jeddite and Gunnar (previously I confused Alamar's skills with Jeddite's XD) - Stronghold: Crag Hack and Dessa - Fortress: Tazar and Bron - Conflux: Luna and Aenain

Could you explain me one thing? Tazar is the best Fortress hero. He is considered to be one of the best heroes in H3. Why Mephala and Neela are so forgotten? Both three have the armorer specialty, so they should be similar (agree that learning is useless for main hero, but...). Kyrre and Solmyr are also good, but in my eyes, the armorer bonus is above them.

I agree with most, especially Castle, as their heroes are pretty mediocre for starting a game, except for maybe Valeska and Caitlin, and Sir Mullich can put Castle's units beyond their limits. But I have to disagree with Dungeon and Conflux, as their best heroes are arguably Jeddite and Luna. Jeddite is the perfect hero for preserving units with his resurrection specialty (only problem being is the inability to resurrect Black Dragons, as they have spell immunity). And Luna is great for starting a game as she needs only one Sprite to deal with 1-4 level units which have hand-to-hand attacks. This means that you'll be able to cover almost twice the distance because you'll have a standing army to deal with harder and ranged fights, town capturing, and dealing with other heroes, while Luna can collect resources for the faction.

Logistic is very important for Stronghold and Fortress with weak mages. Stack thousands of skeleton isn't option for multiplayer or small maps, Thant is better options (best for recovery vampirs after high dmg spells). Heroes with inteligence have best hero bonuses, at 20lvl have 4x more mana (4x effect of knowledge, sorcery hero at lvl 20 give 1,3x effect of spell power). Money heroes are often better options for raised difficulty as first heroes.

[@Benkenobi8118]

Monere is not bad, but Grindan is one of the best heroes in the game. Starting Earth magic, gold bonus and slow. Everything you want, save logistics.

[@inhphuongang4821]

I think Vandomina is the best hero in Necropolis. Sir Mullich is the best in Castle but you cannot select him at the beginning of the game, you need a luck to buy him.

[@richiabosuli3193]

Yes, I can see why. Necromancy is a must for Necro. True Sir Mullich is rare. I usually play maps that people made so the hero is already given, so I didn't really knew how much luck you need to have him.

[@wackyjoker7912]

Tazar's ability can be applied on both melee and ranged while Crag hack only applies to the melee. But, even though I think Tazar is the best hero , I still prefer Alkin and Bron for fortress for the most of time.

[@koeniglichen91]

Thant is the best Necropolis Hero (maybe the best in the game) and when he get some levels his Animate Dead-Spell is just overpowered. He and a big stack of Vampire Lords + a huge amount of Skeletons is just gg. The most battles in Early and Midgame you will win without any dead creatures.

[@RichardChen]

My opinion: 10. Gunnar 9. Gelu 8. Tyzar 7. Sir Mullich 6. Kyrre 5. Dessa 4. Luna 3. Dracon 2. Adela …… 1. SANDRO! Thanos of the H3 world!

[@Jebu911]

Sandro is my favorite homm universe character alltho in reality he has shit stats in gameplay. But definitely was my go-to character as a kid playing this.

[@ivanrudes597]

The best hero for castle for me is loynis. Speciality is prayer spell. Once you get expert water magic and if you have archangels and you play first you are in huge advantage. Prayers include speed, attack and defense all in one

[@sandrothegreat3065]

My personal list is: Castle - Adelaide Rampart - Kyrre Tower - Solmyr Inferno - Xyron Necropolis - Sandro Dungeon - Gunnar Stronghold - Crag Hack Fortress - Gerwulf Conflux - Luna

[@dejanf8168]

Nah you are pretty shit outside of campaign...

[@petervlcko4858]

Ballistics specialists are not so bad. I like them too. With high attack, precision, and archery you can had good harasser with 250 up early.

[@knesseli7664]

For Rampart I think Elshar is best,my opinion!! No hate.Btw great video agree with most other but Kyree is my second best Rampart hero

[@richiabosuli3193]

Thanks !

[@knesseli7664]

Richi Abosuli Np but what u think about Elshar

[@richiabosuli3193]

He's pretty good, intelligence is pretty nice skill to have for big maps

[@knesseli7664]

Richi Abosuli that's why I always play XL :)

[@60b1in]

Castle: Adela. Bless spec is a killer in damage output on castle units. Plus starting diplomacy...

[@ShadowFerretofD00m]

Everyone forgetting about Neela for Tower

[@franciscojeronimo5881]

Yup! I was going to say she is the best hero from Tower, Solmyr sucks. And what about Stronghold? How the hell it's not Dessa the best hero? The why was explained in Kyrre and Gunnar.

[@franciscojeronimo5881]

@@MoonChaser. She is still the worst of the top skill specialists. In fact, I believe Jabarkas to be a better bet for Tower then Neela herself, she already starts with Scholar and you will be lucky if that is the only crapy skill you end up with, while barbarians have a perfect secondary skill tree and much better primary skill distribution. In smaller doses this is true for Ivor and Annabelle too.

[@simontollin2004]

@@franciscojeronimo5881 in my most recent games with tower I went with Fafner as starting hero, and ended up using Wystan and Ivor respectivly as my main. Jabarkas would have been even better, probably the ideal hero for tower

[@dirtyharry3074]

...i need link for download this game,help someone...i download HOMM3 complete from PB but it is crushing every 10-15 minutes...

[@fcon8507]

Dude, go to GOG.com and buy the game for like $2.

[@petervlcko4858]

My fav for ramp is magic resistance specialist. But kire is great and also one choice of my and mephala has armorer. Inferno was good choice but zidar in bigger maps has devastating spells, also xeron has inferno. For many people not fav but inferno is actually more dmg spell than chain lighting. Chain has reduced impact on other units as it jump. Inferno has same flat dmg. Also he can teach it others. Specialist in any spell makes spell work better in low tier units now so much on high tier ones. Idk how others but I like battle mages and so choice is for me logistics specialist for stronghold. Battle mages upgrade stats evenly which makes them good casters and good fighters in comparison to other casters. All fighting stats they get improve with magic boosts. Or deboosts. For necro necro specialist or animate specialist. I like navigation specialist too in sea maps they travel insanely far.

[@veroc7783]

I think that for Castle it's Adelaide, and for Dungeon Sephinroth, bc they both start with advanced wisdom and knowledge

[@auchenai123]

Gunnar is probably the best choice in dungeon, but if you manage to get malekith who specs at sorcery with dragogedon it can be very dangerous

[@VersusARCH]

Gunnar is more dangerous - since he levels up faster, and has a far better chance to chose when to engage.

[@KiwiImpactSaint]

You failed to mention Solmyr’s chain lightning hits 5 targets instead of 4, too OP for early game.

[@johanbressendorff6543]

all chains hit five targets..

[@viking_II]

Sir Mullich is the best heroe of the entire game, +2 speed is a permanent cape of velocity (also having the chance to carry the actual cape of velocity and 2 other artifacts giving +6 total speed!). It should be banned if you want a fair play. For the rest, Logistics, Armorer and Offence are essencial, ramparts also has another good hero, Mephala in armorer, towers has another armorer hero, Neela, but his secondary in scholar has totally ruined her as a main hero (stupid game designers), for that reason I edit my single player map with my desired hero with my desired main skills, hehe.

[@richiabosuli3193]

If I'm not mistaken they banned Sir Mullich in the HOTA version and replaced him with a different hero.

[@mitromney]

I can't see how is that an OP skill. Sure it's useful, but you can't use alpha strike strategy anyway because +2 is not enough to bring your entire army across the battlefield, only units who would either get there or almost get there anyway. You still need to use haste, so you could've not had that skill anyway. There are some more powerful skills if you ask me. Speed is good but it's not OP. I'd say Bron is the most powerful hero in the game. Using him to get level 4 units in day one, when your castle allows you to get level 6 units in day one as well is just broken and out of place. I've won waaay too many games with this strategy both gainst my friends and AI. You just start with Bron, get the second and third hero and give all of his units to Bron, recruit Wyverns and the rest of the army from your twon and you go straight for enemy town. If you play on small maps (Which I usually do, since big maps take days to complete the game) you can cover the distance in less then a week or close to a week, in which your enemy will most likely just invest in Capitol build and lose his starting army to nearby creeps. Then you arrive with your insane army (you use units from foreign town from the third hero to get through creeps without losing your town's army) and just crush him. It's too easy. Unless the enemy knows exactly what you are going to do and prepares for it this is a freelo.

[@viking_II]

Speed not only gives the distance, also the initiative, dragons can attack before archangels for example, that changes all because first attack means mass speed, mass slow, or mass prayer, making ALL your unites faster, having the first strike in case of haste, prayer, or tactics skill.

[@hatakekakashiG]

I think best hero in Dungeon is Malekith with his sorcery. Dungeon has black dragons and 20% chance to get Armagedon spell.

[@ffarkasm]

No wonder that in HotA Sir Mullich and Galthran are not available because they are too OP.

[@elswordstarzone]

I do admit that Cyra is probably one that can rival or match Solmyr and any other heroes from other town, as her speciality is Haste which makes her one of the fastest one in the combat. But truthfully, if heroes for campaign only is included, I think no one is better than Gelu and Dracon. I kinda disagree with hunnar being the best hero for dungeon, as for me, Malekith or Deemer is more useful. And for necropolis, Thant is undeniably powerful, which for me is the best one in necropolis.

[@dziwnypanzestreama7769]

Yey another video :)

[@Terminator775]

Gelu for rampart because of sharpshooters.

[@Benkenobi8118]

Dessa is better for stronghold. Logistics specialist + Logistics. Gundula is number 2. Wisdom + Offense + Slow.

[@Dan-uf2vh]

with Tower experienced players will go for Cyra and her Diplomacy, instead of Solmyr

[@verloser]

i.m.o adela the cleric is best for human creatures since she can be built into a mage/diplomatic getting free monsters and selling those off in other places when possible

[@DJShire_ATL]

When I play Castle I prefer Orrin since he specializes in archery and marksmen. And for Rampart I always choose Clancy because he is all about Unicorns.

[@Ryukuro]

I always thought valeska was better then Orrin. Specialty archery and starts with all archers.

[@netherlord5959]

Ok so Magic ele can't use teleport like Hydras so Ice/Thunder Elementals are much better. Also idk about the obsession with Logistics, Ivor is much better Rampart hero as he specializes in Rampart's only shooters, Elves. And Dungeon Deemer too, the Meteor Shower is real good.

[@domonkoskatona9142]

Good video, and goos choices. Heroes III is actually a very unbalanced game. Heros V is simalar, but the balance - e.g. logistics specialization - is much better. Heroes III's supplementaries didn't bring the balance, but Heroes 5.5 is perfect :)

[@petervlcko4858]

Homam 4 bro there you can play just with hero. If you manage to improove your stealth skill or you are invisible on the map and can pass behind units and other heroes not visible even you are next to opponents heroes. It’s part of theft skills start with scouting as a primary skill and follow path finding, seamanship and stealth as subordinate skills to scouting. You can send thief around map and collect resources and artefacts depending on what level creature you can hide. Every pass gives experience with no battle needed. If you teach hero like this fighting skills you can attack castles just by hero. Homam 4 cam by played as RPG. I think is more balanced than homam 3. Skill variety is better and magic nerfed. But game lack polish. That is true.

[@velichkanikolova2394]

I have played all towns and I think Castle-Adela Rampart-Ryland Tower-Cyra Inferno-Aiden or Zydar Necropolis-No doubt for Isra and Sandro Dungeon-Alamar in my oppinion Stronghold-Yog and Crag hack Fortress-Adrienne Conflux-Grindan (My cousin always wins with it no matter me or 1v7 with the computer)

[@petervlcko4858]

Adrienne is special hero. Not common for fortress. But of course is good...

[@hienluong5982]

Agree with most except Conflux, should be Luna or Grindan

[@michazmuda1477]

Neela is better then Solmyr, Neela like Mephala and Tazar have armorer specialty, which makes tower units very tough.

[@filipzdarilek6274]

Best rampart hero should be gelu and tower hero dracon

[@peasant7214]

no conflux hero starts with armorer, not even monere. he starts with offense (though it wouldnt change vid that much lol)

[@blabla-rg7ky]

all of the games that I've played in 20 years of Heroes 3 have finished AFTER month 10, so...

[@rfuadi213]

castle - adella. i can make most creatures join to me

[@highpingmonkey6422]

what about bron for fortress? starting off with 7 basilisks isnt too bad and very strong for the early game, just an honorable mention though

[@richiabosuli3193]

Tazar is the all around best hero for Fortress, Bron is great for early game but overall I think Tazar is better.

[@enriuusna7540]

Best possible scenario is having Bron as a starting hero with 7 basilisks and recruiting Tazar on the first week.

[@bartolcherry2200]

fortess guy with lizards with basilisks or with crystal bulls

[@golhandincmen]

isra / vidomina is my go to hero when i'm playing necropolis and no one can convince me otherwise. rest of the heroes are more or less accurate.

[@KamusRetroGamer]

For dungeon my favourite is jeditte. Tactics not necesary in a fast team.
