How to use this hero

Home faction: Stronghold

Weekly reinforcements depend on present forms

The weekly reinforcement count equals hero level. Upgraded reinforcements require upgraded Goblins already present, with priority given to Goblin Trappers. Check the actual army before the new week; these are not three simultaneous recruitment rewards. The manual also lowers Goblin betrayal chance by 1% per level.

What the profile establishes

Specialty · Goblin King

Adds Goblins weekly equal to hero level and lowers betrayal chance by 1% per level. Reinforcement type depends on upgraded Goblins already present.

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 Blood Rage · Basic Leadership. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.

Creatures I would consider

Equipment I would compare

Army: ranges in the manual profile

Counts are manual ranges rather than a fixed state in every mission. A zero minimum allows absence, and repeated stacks remain separate.

Machines listed in the manual profile

Owning a machine does not itself grant its control ability. Distinguish War Machines mastery from Ballista, First Aid and Catapult.

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.

  • Sword of MightSuggestion

    Raises hero Attack by two points to support led creatures’ physical combat.

    For a plan based on the led army’s physical attacks. Its benefit depends on your creatures and opposing defense.

  • Shield of Crystal IceSuggestion

    Provides two hero Defense and fifty-percent army protection from Fire spells.

    For an army exposed to attacks; compare the protection with the actual incoming damage type.

Roster and source scope

Tribes of the East 3.1 manual: 64 standard heroes and 49 additional profiles including campaign variants. Skills and four attributes describe the manual profile, not a guaranteed state on entering every mission.

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.
