How to use this hero

Home faction: Life / Haven

Tactician and defensive army support

Use a Knight behind a protected battle line. Basic Tactics adds +1 creature action speed and combat movement; Basic Defense raises led creatures’ melee and ranged Defense by 10%. Protect the hero through positioning and, if developed, Combat.

The selectable names in this class share the listed starting skills. Compare current development, army and intended advanced class when choosing.

What the profile establishes

Listed starting skills

Suggested army and further development

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

Compare the two advanced-class routes below. They require acquiring and developing the relevant primary trees; the linked profile explains prerequisites and the exact effect.

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

Two further development routes

These are proposed development routes; the advanced class is not presented as the hero’s starting state.

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.
