How to use this hero

Home faction: Inferno

Magic support built around the specialty

Develop this hero for usable damaging spells. First check learned spells, valid targets and mana. Time the hit so the friendly army can exploit the enemy’s weakened state.

What the profile establishes

Specialty · Sorcery

Specializes in Sorcery. The relevant skill is required; its starting rank is listed in this profile. Compare developing this skill with the needs of your current army and map.

Listed starting skills

  • Basic Wisdom

Suggested army and further development

The following is our recommendation. Creatures, spells and items must actually be acquired; this does not establish current inventory.

Build further choices around the listed skills and the needs of the current army. Choose equipment for the actual bottleneck: survival, attack effectiveness, mana or movement.

Skills I would build around: Basic Wisdom · Basic Sorcery. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.

Roster and source scope

Heroes III including Conflux: 156 profiles from the cited VCMI revision. Skills, spells and specialties are this engine’s reference configuration; check original-edition differences in the actual map. HotA and WoG are separate. Special availability does not automatically mean campaign-only.

Development and equipment suggestions are our analysis of the listed profile. A mission may alter the starting state; each relationship distinguishes school access, an actually learned spell and a future acquisition option.
