Rules, conditions and restrictions
Attack is not a flat two-HP addition to every hit. Resulting damage depends on the creature’s Attack, opposing Defense and other modifiers. It does not use Heroes IV’s personal hero Melee Attack.
Practical use
A direct early choice for a physical army. Against Axe of the Mountain Lords value the extra two points through the whole composition and price rather than calling it twice the final damage.

For physical attacks by creatures led by the hero with increased Attack.
It is not a Heroes IV fighter’s personal sword. It does not guarantee stronger arbitrary spells.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Good factions gain three Attack and lose one Defense; evil factions gain three Defense and lose one Attack. The manual groups Academy, Haven, Sylvan and Fortress as good, and Dungeon, Inferno, Necropolis and Stronghold as evil. The branches are not a simultaneous three/three bonus.
Practical use
First identify the wearer’s actual branch. For an offensive plan the defensive branch may lose to an ordinary sword; in a critical defense consider whether more Attack justifies losing Defense.

This is an equipped primary-stat bonus. It teaches no particular spell and grants no Advanced school mastery. Spellpower enters effects actually using it; a fixed effect does not automatically gain two units.
Practical use
Useful early equipment for a caster with worthwhile learned formulas. Compare direct-damage gains with Trident of the Titans, which offers narrow electrical specialization instead of a general two points.

Practical use
Assess the whole exchange rather than only the large five Attack. Slower actions can let an enemy heal or control before the next strike; the full set’s Barbarian bonus separately concerns hero attacks.

Practical use
Useful against Ice Bolt or Circle of Winter. When changing to a purely offensive weapon include lost Defense, cold protection and any set threshold broken by the swap.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The 3.1 manual adds fixed Advanced and Spellpower eight; an earlier sentence on the same card allows higher hero mastery, so the conflict remains explicit. It normally lists six charges, except Ice Bolt and Fireball three, Haste and Endurance four, Slow and Suffering five and Vulnerability ten. Barbarians do not use it in battle.
Practical use
Before travelling check the stored spell and remaining charges. Three Fireballs are not Heroes IV’s wand mana recovering each round; plan a guild visit after depletion. Variant and effect matter more than the wand icon alone.

Higher physical defense comes with slower ATB progress. This is neither magic immunity nor losing one Speed tile. With Ogre Club it forms Weapons of Might; completing the set does not erase the pieces’ stated effects.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The manual lists one/one without Enlightenment, two/two at Advanced and three/three at Expert, without settling the separate Basic case. With Magic Insight it allows learning level-four spells rather than automatically granting every school spell like a tome.
Practical use
Before swapping check actual Enlightenment mastery and Magic Insight. More mana capacity is not an instant refill; the ability to learn a spell matters when a source for that particular spell is available.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
A larger capacity is not an instant refill or learning Death spells. The helmet’s name does not grant Necromancy, and the manual does not restrict the two Knowledge to Necromancer heroes.
Practical use
Useful when a caster lacks mana endurance for the full route. Arrange an actual refill before a demanding expedition; a higher empty maximum does not fund another spell by itself.

Magic and control
For more normal hero mana capacity through Knowledge; it can help classes beyond Necromancers.
The higher capacity must actually be filled. The name grants neither Necromancy nor more mana to every creature.

Mana capacity comes with weaker physical defensive support for the army. This is not Heroes IV personal hero Defense. With Ring of the Broken Will it forms Will of Urgash, with separate full-set effects.
Practical use
For a long sequence of fights compare mana endurance with casualties from lower Defense. If the next battle uses none of the extra mana, another ordinary helmet can be more practical.

With Diplomacy, its Mood_Coef contribution changes from minus 0.2 to minus 0.4 and joining-chance contribution from ten to twenty percentage points. Offered paid joining then costs ordinary recruitment price instead of twice the price with Diplomacy alone. This does not override a scenario’s always-fight setting.
Practical use
Assess the crown as recruitment and economic equipment rather than only one Morale. Diplomacy guarantees no universal joining; power ratio, neutral mood, other contributions and the offered branch still matter.

Practical use
Compare a shortcut over an obstacle with losing another useful cloak. When planning down to the last movement points verify the installed version’s valid destination; this does not guarantee passing every map script.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The manual gives a 2500 base and 3125 with boots without Logistics. After its integer handling it lists Basic 3436, Advanced 3748 and Expert 4061 with boots. Nominal Expert thirty percent plus boots twenty-five percent multiplies to 1.625 rather than adding to fifty-five percent. These boots do not apply at sea.
Practical use
On roads and native terrain more movement is directly useful. On foreign sand costing 150 per straight step without other bonuses, 3125 funds twenty steps; Open Road’s removed penalty instead funds twenty-five steps at 100 from the base 2500.

On foreign snow or sand a base straight step falls from 150 to 100; ordinary unpenalized grass gives no such saving. Compare the actual planned route with Swift Journey’s more general movement supply.

The manual halves Summon Elementals count and Conjure Phoenix, Blade Barrier and Summon Hive HP. These are different quantities. Banish is a hero ability; no nonexistent ordinary Heroes V spell card is invented for it.
Practical use
Specialized against builds relying on these summons. Lower Phoenix HP does not automatically halve all offensive attributes; do not apply the summon penalties to an ordinarily recruited army.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Initiative affects battle-action frequency along the ATB bar rather than tiles per move or daily hero travel. It is not a fixed extra turn after every ten attacks.
Practical use
For long battles compare more frequent army actions with another ring’s primary stats. For an opening strike also track current ATB; ten percent alone guarantees no first action for every stack.

The contribution applies per creature rather than two HP for the whole stack. Low-health inexpensive units gain more proportionally; the ring does not grant resurrection of casualties.
Practical use
Base four HP becomes six, a fifty-percent increase; base one hundred becomes 102, two percent. For numerous cheap infantry compare that difference with general Defense.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The penalty targets the opponent. Undead and mechanical creatures have ordinary morale exceptions, so this is not universal slowing of every composition. Values above five can absorb some penalty in Tribes of the East.
Practical use
Against living low-morale troops it can reduce favorable outcomes or cross into negative morale. Against armies without ordinary morale assess the full-set bonus instead of expecting skipped actions.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The Cursed name does not mean a wearer-side drawback. In this game Luck affects the target’s applicable offensive strikes rather than Heroes IV-style defensive damage reduction.
Practical use
Enemy one Luck becomes minus one: ten-percent good luck changes to ten-percent bad luck. Against a high above-cap buffer, however, two points may merely consume that buffer.

Practical use
Value depends on machines actually used and corresponding skills. In a siege assess Catapult, in ordinary fights the other machines; missing purchased support leaves part of the value unused.

The Speed name here does not mean battle reach. At base Initiative ten without other modifiers, Ring of Celerity gives eleven and this ring twelve; action frequency ratio is twelve over eleven, about nine-point-one percent more rather than twenty percent more than Celerity.
Practical use
A strong general bonus in a longer fight. When swapping compare final Initiative, current ATB and ability to use extra actions rather than only the two printed percentages.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
This saves mana when casting rather than doubling ordinary mana capacity or every creature’s supply. The latter belongs to a Sar-Issus Regalia threshold. The inventory does not settle odd-cost rounding or other discount ordering.
Practical use
Half of an unmodified twenty-mana cost is ten, and four becomes two. Compare greater mana endurance with more damage per cast and track reaching two or four set pieces.

Rules, conditions and restrictions

Practical use
A mixed army-and-casting choice. For a purely physical commander compare Luck with Golden Horseshoe; for a caster already carrying a Luck buffer, Knowledge may provide the main value.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Each point gives ten-percent good- or bad-luck probability according to sign, capped at fifty percent. An eligible good-luck attack in Heroes V deals double damage and bad luck half, unlike the fourth game’s defensive model.
Practical use
Going from zero to one gives an eligible normal attack an expected multiplier of 1.1 without other changes. An individual attack is not certainly ten percent stronger: it can remain ordinary or double.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Without Navigation the manual raises base 2500 to 3125. With Navigation’s fifty percent it lists 4687 with the sextant after rounding, nominally multiplying by 1.875. This removes no ordinary rest-of-day boarding cost; Snatch is separate.
Practical use
On naval maps compare the entire route and number of shore transitions. Lighthouses have their own five-hundred-point contribution; land Boots of the Swift Journey and Logistics do not transfer to the sea pool.

Practical use
