Top 9 Heroes 3 (HOMM) Level 1 Creatures.

Now I did all the videos about the best level 1-7 creatures in heroes.
Now I want to do best secondary skills, artifacts, spells etc.. and maybe I will do some videos about the non upgraded versions and creature comparisons.
I do not own the pictures or soundtrack.
Enjoy !

[@destructionman1]

Necromancy kinda makes skeletons better than skeleton warriors.

[@Dougerro]

Why?

[@JiiPeee]

Yeah Why? If you only got skeleton warriors and all your stacks are full raised units will be warriors instead of normal skeletons. Numbers of raised skeleton warriors are 66.66% of what would be raised as skeletons. If you want to maximum amount of best possible units you raise them as skeletons and upgrade them afterwards but that can be a hassle without townportal etc

[@destructionman1]

Skeleton warriors are kinda awkward when playing as Necromancer because you can't add the necro'd skeletons to them, so they take up a creature spot. Later in the game when you're necro'ing hundreds of skeletons each battle, level 1 units usually aren't that useful, so I'd rather just ditch the skeleton warriors. Sure skeleton warriors are better hand-to-hand than skeletons but they still take up a spot. Even if you're delivering the skeletons back to your town to upgrade - skeleton warriors again still take up a spot. Oh and I also like Gogs better than Magogs because Gogs don't hurt their friends :)

[@JiiPeee]

yeah but as i said if you already have all slots filled you automatically get skeleton warriors raised and not skeletons

[@destructionman1]

JiiPeee oh dang really? I did not know that.

[@im50yearsold]

Familiars are basically just demon summoning fodder

[@oklik6864]

Indeed, when i am always playing inferno i am literally waiting for them to be eradicated or exchanged by some other high level creature.

[@mam162]

At least the mana steal is nice. I think that saves them from being as worthless as HOMM2 Peasants.

[@Nonii-92]

Awesome video. with sprties could be noted that with patience you can take out insane amounts of slow high level units (hit and run tactic with no retaliation) . Some even consider them OP because of this

[@Nonii-92]

sprites*

[@richiabosuli3193]

Thanks. True sprites are very good for this tactic and they are very useful for a level 1 unit.

[@TheValentineEnemy]

They can be even bigger trolls than the master gremlins who can just shoot everything down. ^^

[@fxalexei]

Sprites are ridiculously strong and one of the many reasons conflux is op in SOD.

[@mihalybalint8969]

Great as usual, but in one of the slides(at infernal troglodytes) it was hard to read due to low contrast. I advise to watch out for that in upcoming videos. Other than that, keep up the good work!

[@richiabosuli3193]

Thanks, I won't do that again in future videos.

Can u do strongest 1-8 wog upgrade creatures please,btw like always great video, congrats on 70 subscribers,I'm here when u u had 10. xD

[@Brugar18]

any chance you would reupload it with Cove creatures?

[@bosspoke]

The tier list as I see it if you play to the strengths of each creature, and/or rank their overall usefulness: 1. Skeleton warrior (Because anybody who even tries with necropolis will amass these in numbers far outweighing the other tier 1's. The exception is on small/medium maps with no time) 2. Sprite (They are irrelevant in larger end game fights, but can seriously be abused through hit and run tactics. It takes a LOT of time, and I hate that tactic, but it needs to be acknowledged. 3. Familiar/Demon food (They suck on their own but you don't use them for that. One week growth of 38 imps is equal to 4 demons with some leftover imps. And building a demon horde like this ends up making familiars more relevant than the other tier 1 units below it.) 4. Centaur captain 5. Master gremlin (Although some early game tactics with these guys can put them above Centaur captains) 6. Halberdier 7. Gnoll maurauder 8. Hobgoblin (Dies so God damn easily) 9. Infernal troglodyte (Only tier 1 completely irrelevant past super early fights.)

[@masterexploder9668]

Shakti starts with around 100 troglodytes, which makes for a strong opening. Also gremlins are really cool, because ranged units are always helpful. Centaurs are best all-rounders, not as strong as halberdiers in raw statistics, but increased speed makes them mobile and versatile. I'm not counting magic which completely turns the tables around (then I would say skeletons are the best).

[@fxalexei]

this. add sprites to the list and you have the winners

[@brianmayabella5992]

They often targeted by defending towers though. You could lost a lot

[@sulikiam]

Thank you for your effort. I enjoyed your videos. However, while I see quite clearly that ArchAngel is superior to, say, Bone Dragon, the lower level units are much more situational. Like Master Gremlins in the first 15 minutes, or skeletons after 1 hour+ games. So perhaps the ranking should be about which is more useful in which strategies / contexts. Framing this way can allow more indepth strategic / tactical discussions as well, I think.

[@blabla-rg7ky]

I support your proposal

[@Macejkos]

Can you add the Cove monsters into these videos?

[@agbrenv]

wow didn't know about Halberdier immunity to jousting and Trogs immunity for petrification, thanks for the heads up, but how did you find that out? is there some source or just through experience?

[@ffarkasm]

Isn't it in the description of the creature when you right click it?

[@richiabosuli3193]

You can read about it in different heroes wikis around the Internet, and as mentioned here it appears in the creature descritption.

[@agbrenv]

as far as I know in-game Halberdiers don't have specials shown

[@richiabosuli3193]

Yeah I checked it and the original doesn't mention it, but in the Hota version they added it. The ability is present in all versions.

[@samarnol3808]

i thought centaurs 1 sprites 2 hobgoblins would be 3rd but it wasnt =] btw good vid

[@richiabosuli3193]

Thank you, 1 and 2 very possible but goblins can't be as high as number 3.

[@skeletonking2588]

I know this video is kinda old by now, but you made a mistake on the last two slides. Both, for the halbadier and the Centaur captain, is stated they have the highest HP of the level 1 units. So which one is it now lol

[@user-zk3yz3rr7y]

Both the centaur captains and the halberdiers have 10 HP

[@grawling]

Sprites are OP early game if you micro them correctly.

[@Antalijczyk]

Sprites were the most broken unit in SOD, huge speed, flying and NO ENEMY RETALIATION, if used right, you can abuse this combo to the point where you can kill lvl7 units with just sprites. In HOTA they are almost the same but build order makes them harder to get in first week.

[@moodyhn]

I remember Luna with firewall + sprites can rape most of monster at begining, really broken to compare to other towns

[@antonmatei-stefan6162]

What will you do next ?

What music plays in the beginning?

[@BenMazar]

It's campaign music 9 kzbin.info/www/bejne/npiyep-jd7N6btk

[@blackwidow7804]

Troglodites are better than Hobgoblins. More HP and 1-3 dmg. In the beginning they are your main power stack in Dungeon. Gnolls are also better than Skeletons becouse they have 2-3 dmg. Sprites at 3rd place is debatable becouse you have 50 of them and with that spd and no retal they are deadly in the beginning but they die fast thats for sure and are target priority no. 1

[@richiabosuli3193]

I can agree about trog > goblins and gnolls > skeletons, and sprites maybe can go 1 place higher, but they are definitely not the best level 1 unit imo

[@blackwidow7804]

Richi Abosuli yes its hard to carry them in large numbers into final battle becouse they are so important early and die fast. But they are top 3 for sure.

[@dziwnypanzestreama7769]

for meeee is 1.Ceuntaur Captin 2.Halberdier 3 Skeleton 4.gnoll Ur list is very cool as always i don't play heroes 3 to often so i don't know a lot of tactics. But i played a lot of Homm 4 & 5, i have there a lot of tactics i want to share. Thanks for your video . Greetings.

[@richiabosuli3193]

Thanks

[@ermaduk]

id put master gremlins first. insane growth, ranged, easy choice. i'm an experienced pvp player and i've seen the gremlins decide plenty of games

[@KiwiImpactSaint]

It has no chance against same growth Centaur Captain and possibly half of the creatures in the list.

[@KamusRetroGamer]

Agree

[@richiabosuli3193]

Yes I'm planning on doing something like that.

[@ksi4621]

Good!

[@ridvanyalciner715]

Normally, Centaur is in 1st place, but Skeleton is always the best. Skeleton have hero and you can get more than the others.

[@hjge1012]

Your top 3 is just units which are generally good. whereas Master gremlins are more useful at the start of the game, and skeletons (be it not skel warriors) are by far the best when you take necromancy into account.

[@vunguyenlong5738]

Master gremlins are too low imo, they are probably second behind centaur capts. The fact that they are cheap and numerous more than make up for lack of damage and hp, playing as tower you need these guys to clear in early games, and they are fantastic at it. Halberdier looks good on paper but in reality they only have one job and thats to protect marksman, which they are very good at, but nothing more.

[@brianmayabella5992]

True Every Towee faction must rush to master gremlin and Solmyr as ur main hero. The rest of tower are mediocre at best. Top 3 for me as 1st Centaur capt., halberdier, and master gremlin

[@SaithMasu12]

Gremlins are for sure higher than hellbards. Ranged units in HOMM games are stupidly Op in general. Melee units do not compare, especially in the Tier 1 range. Same reason why halflings were Op in Homm 2.

[@Polemion]

can you include the horn of the abyss creatures pls

[@richiabosuli3193]

In future videos yes probably

[@bozhidardimitrov7830]

Is the centaur captain lvl 1 unit?

[@user-yk9kh3xu5s]

Yep, Centaurs are lvl1 Rampart creatures in HoMM3

[@tastybekonn]

what a noob

[@RedGallardo]

How often do you use lvl 1 creatures anyway? Except for Gremlins. At least they can attack before 1000 of them is 1-shotted. XD

[@richiabosuli3193]

At the beginning of the game. plus if you have necromancy + skeletons than you wiil have so many of them at late game, they will definitely do some good damage :-)

[@disrupt94]

in low resource games, lvl 1 units tend to be the most efficient choice due to the stacking potential of buying a new hero that usually comes with them

[@Antalijczyk]

You should be using them for the most time, they are crucial to playing this game, not as much for the dmg but for putting them into single unit stacks. Using foddres correctly makes seemingly impossible fight easy to do, I'm talking about pve ofc.

[@sulikiam]

If you have multiple heroes and know how to attack from multiple fronts, very often.

[@1993Redemption]

They have their uses due to low price and numbers. Think of them as expendable, yet dependable if you use them according to their talents. Ex: Master gremlins must be protected, but deliver ranged attacks, Halberdiers are great for defense of ranged units/castles and quite frankly can take a hit, Sprites for obvious reasons, skeletons for obvious reasons, and if you just have the extra money most level ones are worth the buy (the only ones I stay away from are familiars and maybe goblins).

[@Weltmeister_]

Can someone explain to me the cavaliers/chanpions jousting ability please? :)

[@PlayPrey]

The unit deals more damage when it walks to the enemy first, if the unit stands still while attacking it will deal normal damage.

[@Skorpion1991]

when they are charging to the target every 1 square they move giving them bonus +5% to damage, so is good to not stand on the place and atack but move them from one side to another

[@petervlcko4858]

each hex of walk you get 5% of initial dmg on unit

[@indrickboreale7381]

Number 9: Familiar Demon farming: Am I joke to you?

[@Wodpuncher001]

Peasent is op

[@mikusmargonemiarz3010]

1: sprite 2: skellies 3: halajalabardiers 4: centaurs ps. i took "tactics" under consideration. with that i mean, that you can easily kill centaurs and halabardiers(cant spell that shit right lok) with sprites if used right. the same with skelletons, and with necromancy you can get really many skelletons for "free" basically which kill the growth of the 3rd and 4th place. the rest is as shown in the vid

[@kainhart1010]

You've valued sprites far to highly they are to fragile and do to little damage to do anything.

[@blabla-rg7ky]

fucked up rankings dude. There is no way in hell sprites rank so highly with only 3 hps. They could have mighty gorgon's death stare for all I care and 5000000 speed, you fucking blow over them and they're gone. Also, trogs worse than hobgoblin? Really?? Ok, maybe you're right, but I still rank trogs higher than the hobs. Also, halberdiers are better than centaur captains because all things being equal they have better defense. They are also.... immune to jousting (however this is calculated), and despite of me being a keen Heroes 3 player (been playing the game for 20 years and I know all the ins and outs of the game) I still had no idea that halberdiers are immune to jousting. WOW! Like, WTF? It's the 1st time I hear this lol. But then again, I never play cheat towns (like EVER) like Castle and Necro, so it's only normal that I know nothing about cheats.... Last but not least, I wanna have sex with the sprites LOL

[@user-kz3nx9rj8f]

Master gremlins are better then skeletons, if we dont mention necromancy

[@richiabosuli3193]

Possibly, I love them ranged units :p

[@blackwidow7804]

Yes skeleton is weaker Gnoll.

[@cuongpham6218]

But their shots are quite limited, and they're fragile as hell, so unless you have an Ammo Cart and good defense, they're gonna have a hard time dealing with fast units

[@user-kz3nx9rj8f]

Cuong Pham For example you put Solmyr, like a basic hero, he has 32 gremlins + 16 gremlins in castle, first day you upgrade gremlins. So you have 48 archers, then you buy the second hero and put its gremlins to Solmyr, so you have 80+ archers on the first day, it is a nice rush army to put all mines near the castle + solmyr's chain lighting. It is my favourite tactic for tower. Light units dont go to the gremlins, archers and lighting kill them quickly

[@blackwidow7804]

Yep and few stack of gargoyles to protect them.

[@oska3x579]

Yo Sprites should be wayyy lower they have 3 hp

[@Winnetou17]

Except that if you take care of them, you can have hundreds of them very quickly, and with bless on them, they kick ass. How the hell they thought that it's ok to have 3 maximum damage on such a unit is beyond me. Then again, Conflux is all about NOT being balanced, so I guess it's ok in that sense...

[@MatejSunavec]

Hobgoblin deserves higher position due to cost, attack and speed, Master Gremlin deserves lower position because it's weak in close combat and dealing low damage on distance.

[@klapacjuszanimomon8501]

Gnolls better Then master trekking j thing

[@binhduongnguyen7052]

I think hobgoblin 7 is stronger than gnoll marauder 6

[@leobonhart8368]

Sprite is the worst level 1 creatures except Familiars :p

[@Skorpion1991]

???? as a battle potential they are number 1

[@aproapemasini6066]

Hobgoblins are NOT low damage. They are, like all Stronghold creatures, highly dependant on Bless and on hitting first. If you manage to hit first with a bunch of hobgoblins, they are great. If they get hit first and then retaliate, then they are pretty lousy. Same goes for Wolf Raiders, Orcs, Thunderbirds, Behemoths. The only exceptions are the Ogre Magi (great all round fellows) and Cyclop Kings. Hobgoblins are extremely situational units, unlike most 1st level units.

[@MatejSunavec]

Michael B. Together with imps and familiars, they have lowest damage potential, however Hobgoblin has good attack. Tripled with speed and low cost, it is amongst better units.

[@aproapemasini6066]

Stronghold requires quite some skill and risk-taking. The entire theme of the Stronghold is to always hit first, since all units have high attack but shit defense. The hobgoblins follow this theme closely. Also, Stronghold is highly dependant on bless due to large damage difference between min and max. For an average/casual player, Stronghold and Fortress are pretty bad. But in the hands of a skilled warrior, these 2 factions are pretty dangerous, with Fortress being downright hair-pulling. An skilled, high-level Tazar is a nightmare for most heroes.

[@tastybekonn]

your 'bless' argument is fuckin stupid. You can cast it on every creature. Does it mean that every creature deals big damage?

[@tastybekonn]

38 * 1-2 damage (stronghold) < 28 * 2-3 damage (castle, rampart).

[@tastybekonn]

ulalaaaa what a salty response ^_^ "1-2 damage blessed means you will be doing 2 damage all the time, a 100% increase over the minimum. Blessing a 2-3 damage unit will give you 3 damage all the time, a 66% increase over the minimum" XDDD what does it change that bless increases hobgoblins' minimum dmg by 100%? We are figuring usefulness of the CREATURES not looking for percentage records done by spells (yes, bless is a spell, not skill like you wrote...). The thing is that hobgoblins' 38*2 damage is smaller than halberdiers' 28*3 damage. Halabardiers do more damage on bless than hobgoblins on bless, despite the fact that bless increase halabardiers minimum damage only by 66%, not 100%. Besides, you should play dungeon. Bless increases troglodytes min dmg by 200% so in your world it means that they are twice stronger than hobgoblins, right? XD hobgoblins are good only at one thing - taking retaliate, e.g. to make safe way for wolf riders. Play some PVP you noob. Real players' community will hastly verify your reliance on hobgoblins "because bless increase their min damage by 100%".
