Campaign profile

How to use this hero

Home faction: Might / Stronghold

Scouting and reinforcement transport

Use movement and scouting first: open a safe route, reach an important objective and shorten reinforcement travel. Check the assigned army before fighting.

Secondary role: Main commander if movement is supported by skills suited to the main army.

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 Scouting · Basic Combat. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.

Creatures I would consider

Equipment I would compare

Compare effect, slot and acquisition conditions on the item card. A suggestion does not establish that the hero starts with it.

Spells and suitable equipment

This profile’s individual starting spells are not yet established. A school or recommendation below does not confirm spellbook contents.

Equipment suggestions for the plan (2)

Editorial suggestions based on sourced magic or an army plan. These are not starting inventory or guaranteed finds. Check acquisition, slot and rules on the item card.

  • LeatherSuggestion

    This ordinary light armor adds five to both of the hero’s physical defenses.

    For the hero’s survival on the battlefield. These are personal defenses rather than the same bonus for every creature.

  • LongswordSuggestion

    Adds three points each to the wearer’s Melee Attack and Melee Defense.

    For a hero fighting in melee personally. Heroes IV personal attributes do not automatically apply to the whole army.

Reference ↗

Roster and source scope

308 profiles: 277 normal name/portrait profiles and 31 documented campaign forms including The Gathering Storm and Winds of War. Normal profiles use 11 class baselines; campaign starts do not inherit them automatically. Bohb has a separately sourced five-school start. Selectable and TGS Dogwoggle have separate portraits. This is not every NPC or every mission-specific starting state.

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.
