The Most Underrated Creatures in Heroes 3 (HOMM).

I do not own the pictures or the track played in the video.

[@tomasn9872]

Level 5 the most uderrated are trees... Sometimes you didn't notice how they become a main factor of your victory. When all the other "greater" troops are laying on the ground, you realize, that trees are somehow the only one's who still standing after the battle

[@Tartneznok]

>Pit lords >Underrated Pick one

[@craghack6311]

I agree

[@neoplante]

pitlords are not underrated. they are popularly used for demon farming method.

[@theblackantonio]

Pit lords are not underrated, they're an essential inferno unit

[@razalasreficul6902]

I never thought of war unicorns as underrated; personally the only level 6 unit I prefer over them are dread knights.

[@richiabosuli3193]

Good idea.

[@blackwidow7804]

None of this units are considered weak except Goblins which are just a tiny touch better Imps. Lizard W. are great and same go for E. Eyes. Basiliks are solid. Pit Lords are just weaker and more expensive Minotaurs but still solid. Unicorns are amazing and cheap. AD are bad sry. Too expensive and hard to build for what you get. Yes they can beat most lv7 units in 1v1 except AA but thats not how this game works. If there is underated unit then thats Dendroids.

[@anandasatria7734]

what is AA? edit: Oh okay Arch Angel

[@mzch]

For your next homm3 rank video, can u rate the Grail buildings (conflux #1 is a given :) )?

[@richiabosuli3193]

I will do that sometime, right now I have many ideas, we will see what video will be next :)

[@livedandletdie]

Here's the list. 1. Aurora Borealis(Conflux) Here's all the spells. KThnxbai. 2. Deity of Fire(Inferno) every week is IMP week. Trust me it's the cream of the cream. As a necro player.. 3. Warlord's Monument(Stronghold) Makes your units defending a siege gain +20 Atk it's ridiculously good. 4. Skyship(Tower) let's you see more shit on the map.. mostly useless but the +150 spellpoints to defending player is neat. 5. Guardian of Earth(Dungeon) +12 Spell power while defending.. Trust me, it's broken... 6. Carnivorous Plant(Fortress) gives +12 Atk and Def when you defending during siege. 7. Soul Prison(Necropolis) IF you are playing as Necro and you get this, then you are playing the game wrong. 8. Colossus(Castle) Plus 2 Morale is shit. 9. Spirit Guardian(Rampart) +2 Luck is even more shit. 10. Lodestar(Cove) it gets last place due to being in the unofficial expansion. Although it's really good. This list is literally the truest list ever. There are technically only 2 towns that you should ever put it in, Conflux or Inferno, sure Inferno sucks unless you get Armageddon, but still, as a Necro player stick it in Inferno, you will not be disappointed. When you suddenly get 200+ free skeletons per week. And no more plague weeks...

[@fogdrag9820]

The only argue that some unit is underrated from You is their attack and defense skills ( xD ) Well in my opnion thats the same like i would say: I always use mass fire protection because that looks cool and thats why its good. :P Video kinda interesting but I do not agree with most of the underrated creatures. For example i play with friends sometimes 2vs2. Often i play rampart and i never heard that unicorns are underrated or not respected unit. If i win mostly because of them :D

[@Real_MisterSir]

Yea same I never met anyone who were underrating War Unicorns, especially from their high hp and blind ability.. The one thing that I would say IS underrated, is their cost of 950 gold per unit, which is insane for a 6 lvl creature. I would want to vote for Naga Queens as underrated, but they do cost 1600 gold which is a ton. Their ability to always do max dmg of 30 and no retaliation is almost rivaling lvl 7 units though, so it's justified with the price.

[@mastif3705]

Lizard warrior in polish complete had bugged and its dmg was 1-3 and 5 movment 12 arrows

[@lehatikhonov]

Great video as always

[@agbrenv]

I would say that apart from level 1 and 2 units I think the listed creatures are actually really powerful, Evil Eyes are high HP shooter that can be used in melee, Basilisks are good all rounders, Pit Lords hit hard, Unicorns are my second favorite level 6 after the Dread Knights, Devils are pretty good but their health is actaully too low if you considere that every Inferno unit has either low or average health for their level (Cerberus is the only exception), but other than that really high stats plus no retaliation

[@user-kz3nx9rj8f]

[@riel7963]

Unicorns are easily topped by Dread Knights, Queen Nagas and Cyclops, both in terms of stats and utility. As for Devils, you shouldn't care if his HP is low, he might as well have 120hp and still kick ass because the no-retaliation ability doesn't give an fck.

[@Nonii-92]

Good video as always!

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

I've been playing JVC games since before they became "Heroes of..." games (so... just when they were Might & Magic). I really wish people would remember the very TITLE of the games. That is to say... sure... on a sort of "one to one" basis, it's a subject of great debate on which creature type and its corresponding level is "better", but... that's not the point. :) The POINT is... pair up differing creature stacks in differing ways... then, add even 2-4 spells (even Level ONE spells--preferably at "Expert" skill proficiency)... and you have what the designers intended: a very, very, VERY well-balanced game, with some aspects of luck (not just the skill in the game!!) involved. For examples... Expert Haste with Arch Devils... Expert Bless on most any creature stack that has a "wide" damage range (Pit Lords happen to actually be a good example--and ironically this isn't very great on Angels/Archangels)... Armageddon mixed with Phoenixes, Firebirds, Efreet or Fire Elementals (or Black Dragons for that matter, duh)... ...or even Battle Dwarves mixed with a hero that specializes in magic resistance (with Expert Resistance). While we're at it... ummm... bloody Crag Hack with Expert Offense + Ancient Behemoths (+ Expert Haste if you can get that lucky to learn it) = OMG, MOSTLY GAME OVER, lol So... ultimately, there is no one "best" castle--it's how one plays, and how one balances the... uh... well... Might & Magic. :)

[@mihalybalint8969]

Nice video as always! Keep up the good work! A video idea: overrated units

Can you make a video Level 7 vs Level 6 units according to weakly growth and costs?

[@richiabosuli3193]

Yeah I will make it

Well, to build Evil Eyes you need 1 of every resource and it is really hard to get them sometimes, thats why they are underrated.

[@kha-beleth9624]

I think, that underrated 7 level creatures are behemoths

[@samu_make_game]

yay, you're back :D

[@hungrymikepencetd5686]

Ghost dragons are underrated too :)

[@bosspoke]

Nah.. they are good support units. Bringing down morale by 1, and a chance for aging, but in necro its dread knight, liches, vampire lords and skeletons that runs the show :P Their aging effect simply cannot make up for their low stats otherwise. A phoenix is in every way better, and has double growth! In the off chance their aging take effect before they perish, then good... but as I understood it can still be dispelled og cured. A good support unit, but compared to the rest 7th tier, yes they are inferior, and thats not underrating Though they couldn't have been much better, or they would make necropolis even more OP than they already are. It needs to be weak, when you have 4 very strong units.

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@bosspoke Ghost dragons are way better in very long games where armies reach huge quantities, in early game the ghost dragons are pretty shit. But when you go up against a stack of 30 arch angels, having the ghost dragons cast aging on the angels is insanely powerful, way more than comparable phoenixes would be.

[@olajza91]

ok... so there is one think of note which is relevant to your picks for level 2 and 3. If a town has only one ranged unit then it usually seems weaker then it is since they are focused right of the bat. You really see the worth of lizard warriors when you pick another archer:) Personally i love necro and liches have the same problem... still add another archer and you can see how devastating they really are:)

[@user-kz3nx9rj8f]

Pit lords + demonology the most underrated combination in the game

[@VGMEngiStyle]

Used it last time I played the game. Third week strategy and so fun.

[@snobey]

In lvl. 5 I would say ents. When you will have expert tactics/ speed up, you will see

[@alpgunay9202]

thats why they are not in list.

[@Jimmyholydays]

Cool for the Hobgoblins, Lizards Beholders, Pit Lords and Archdevils. Basilisk are one of the most valued 4th level creatures (with crusaders and Vampire lords) Top three is enough. I think Unicorns are also top three, at least top four 6th level creatures (War Unicorns, Champions, Naga and Dread Knights are in a big battle, with efreets close to them nad all of them far away from Minotaurs, Elementals, and even more of Manticores and Wyverns)

[@Rex-ek8vi]

The most underrated unit for me is the dendroid guard. Because of his growth, he defeats most of lvl 5 units and only mighty gorgons are better.

[@wangyiran66]

For human players, shooter unit are meant to attack, that is why lizard warrior is not good. It has good HP and defense, but that is not as important than damage or the ability to attack twice. Also, attack skill is more important than defense skill here. Also, the ability of no retaliation works great on one v.s. one dual, but it is not as effective if there are many stacks in the battle.

[@NeblogaiLT]

However, damage of lizard warrior is good. It is 2-5 range which is higher even than many melee units like harpies, dwarves, gargoyles and zombies. And, lizard warrior growth is 9, while most other LVL2 units grow is 8. So good damage range with higher growth ensure good total damage, while higher health and defense helps to minimize losses against early game archers.

[@mimsycici6185]

Dendroid Guards are real underrated unit. They are always the last unit to be killed and can take a big damage and their growth is huge. Pair them with armoured skill and good defense stats and you ll be unbeatable.

[@hexxon77]

I agree. With dwarves they're tough like soldier's boot. Speed is the issue. Haste spell ( or Prayer even better) is must on them. But when they can move faster they are very difficult to defeat. Rampart isn't the easiest faction to play. But if you know how it is a lot of fun.

[@mimsycici6185]

@@hexxon77 I like Rampart. The only thing I hate about it is the cost of Enhanced Spring. 10 crystals for building it plus 5 for upgrade is just too much having in mind that you need 20 crystals to build Dragon Cliffs plus 20 to upgrade it and dont forget mega guild upgrade. Thats insane amount of crystals and at some maps the crystal mines are not that close and easy to get.

[@petervlcko4858]

lizard warrior has max level dmg same as elf (no grand shoot twice) and life to just stats are different. if you get here right they are pretty strong. basilisk is my favorite due to hero with basilisk at start. they became more quick. imo underrated is 6lvl is monarch hence is weak and not good stats. people like it only due to harvest on map. i like monarch ability. also stats of the units are sometimes more valuable then it looks it make low hp units last longer or cause more dmg than initially has hp/dmg so devil actually strong but expensive. reason why are inferno weak is that you have difficulty to snow ball them and are expensive. my take is to be caster for them like zidar and make spells strong as much as possible. mass curse helps them live longer. problem haste and slow too strong. should be 1 speed up/down, 2 for expert...

[@richiabosuli3193]

Magogs are worse for me..

[@masterexploder9668]

Lizards with typical Fortress defense do solid damage and can take a relatively big beating from enemy. Marksman due to 2x shot clear faster and deal more damage but are much more fragile.

[@TheValentineEnemy]

Level 2 shooter with 1 less HP than grand elves and they shoot only once not twice with the same damage. Also if you play lot against AI they will be safe most of the time not every spell and attacks go for them. Quite decent. Marskman is only good if you have resurrection imo because everything wants them dead and they fall like flies. 2 shots don't help. Magog special ability does more harm than good. Ironic.

[@swietytomasz]

except basilisk none of them was underrated to me Based on HotA?

[@user-gn9ii8tn4o]

Being good at1vs1 has little to do with its worth. We should see things as a whole, in a greater perspective. Best qualities for units: att and damage stats combined; df and hp stats combined; cost effectiveness; special abilities. Great basilisks are quite mediocre. They have nothing worth mentioning

[@jackychen6261]

Arch devils have too small of stats to beat other level 7 units apart from ghost dragons. 1 on 1 they literally can only win against ghost dragons

[@leader2859]

in 1 on 1 they win almost every fight against other level 7 units due to no enemy retaliation, they lose only to archangels but still wins against ancient behemoths if they outwait them

[@jonnyfreedom9144]

I personnaly think that the Mighty Gorgons are underrated XD, even tho they can destroy almost all level 7 units thanks to their death stare.

[@Skorpion1991]

no I dont think anybody could underrated them, everybody says that they are the best 5th lvl so? and to be correct they are only so good for strong units not for weaker units in bigger amounts

[@MaxBurnHeart]

Hobgoblins? No way. This is one of the reasons why Stronghold is the best town for small maps. Lizard Warriors? Well, it's because they were awful until SoD happened. Evil eyes can't be underrated, this is an excellent unit. In fact, the only unit that sucks in Dungeon is Manticore. Basilisk? Eh, possible. Pit Lords? Eh, maybe. War Unicorns? They are not underrated. Arch Devil? No retaliation is always a nice thing to have. But the only other good thing about them is their speed. Nothing else is good enough for 7 tier unit. In my opinion, the only worse 7 tier unit is Ghost Dragon. Beign better than a total trash is nothing to be proud of, tho.

[@ffarkasm]

The medusa is also a rather weak unit in Dungeon compared with the other lvl 4 units. It's special ability is too situational, it has poor stats, not to mention it might run out of arrows unless you find a war machine factory and buy a trash can.

[@alpgunay9202]

@@ffarkasm which makes it overrated for being in t4 :P

[@Koksn_Todorov]

​@ffarkasm I don't quite get the video idea, it doesn't take into account many things. How are Medusa Queens weak & overrated? They are SHOOTERS with No melee penalty and by the time an enemy unit gets close to them it would've been shot multiple times already. Plus Black Dragons are immune to spells, you can't cast Implosion, Blind, etc. on them, they can hit 2 enemy units at the same time with their area fire breath, which is a better advantage than most lvl 7 units people are hyping up in the comments.

All bs except unicorns and devils. My list 1 lvl gnols with high def and damage, 2lvl wolf raiders high speed ant strikes twice 3 lvl serpent flies high speed plus weaknes 4lvl pegasi immense speed and magic damper 5 lvl dendroid soldiers def, binding ability hihg hp. Pit lords however are the most overrated units in entire game.

[@lf2208]

1:14: "Evil eyes are underrated because Grand Elves are better and therefore the enemy will target Grand Elves more often." Yeah that's some sound logic there.

[@DemMerithor]

Not wrong really. Most Double Shooters are on a higher "priority" then those of the single shot. You often see EE not get targeted if you have Marksmen or Grand Elves. But that doesn't mean they are really excluded, except for rare cases like weak stack of higher tier units, all Ranged units are picked most of the time. If you have mostly Ranged units and have Liches in, they will be attacked first. Why? No one wants a unit on the field that can hit multiple units, even an AI knows how dangerous they are.

[@Brugar18]

Would doubt the pit lords they get taken down quite easily and their resurection and demons are probably the worst tier 4 unit in the game.

[@tqhung166]

@ExalyThor we are talking about dragons, not level 7 in general.

[@riel7963]

This video is way off . Most of those creatures are average or weak and lack redeeming qualities. Goblins are an average lvl1, mediocre stats, not the first choice and definitely not a powerstack when playing stronghold. They perform really poorly when set up against sprites, gremlins, skeletons, centaurs and other lvl 1s. Lizardmen are probably the worst archers in the game and nobody would pick Wystan as their main while Tazar, Dracon, Alkin, Korbac or Broghild are available. Saying that Beholders aren't picked as a target as often as Grand Elves is too general if there is no detailed info about given army, personally I think Beholders are alright in early game but disposable later on and definitely not the best level 3 unit as some people say here, Elves, Griffins and Dragonflies eat him alive in this setup. Basilisks, again, nothing special, for a tier 4 creature they have average attack, average defence, average speed, average HP and their special ability has only 20% trigger chance which doesn't even grow with the upgraded version. It performsr really poorly next to Vamps, Pegasi, Mages, Swordsmen or even Fire Eles. Pit Lord has never been considered a weak unit and everyone who played inferno and knows how to farm demons knows that, so idk why is it on the list. Unicorns are an alright unit, fairly decent stats, easily reachable in week 1 and upgradable in week 2 with the first buyout, their special abilities, again, rely heavily on RNG, 20% chance for blind and a possible 20% chance AoE magic shield, either way not too shabby but still, I would pick Death Knights, Nagas, Efreeti or Cyclops anytime over Unicorns. I'm not sure why Devils are in the list as well. Considering that Titans and Archangels are 5k and both Black and Gold Dragons 4k, 4.5k makes Archdevils fairly optimal. Their stats are above average when considering all 7s and no retaliation ability makes him broken, allowing to clear the map with no losses even with Devil being the only single unit in the army. With mass slow it makes hero vs hero battle extremally frustrating for the opponent when you can just cast mass slow, hit and kite out without losing a single heath point. Try some other monsters, like idk, Dendroids lol.
