Heroes VII: 157 artifacts, eight categories and 13 sets
157 documented items with original icons and independently written Czech and English effects, rules and tactics. Compare attributes, movement, shooter damage, daily production, item spells and thirteen sets with explicit thresholds.
A fully annotated historical reference inventory of 157 base-game items across eight categories. Disagreements between Polish, English and Chinese tables remain identified on the relevant item. This scope does not yet include a complete Trial by Fire, Rune-equipment or campaign-special inventory.

Might
+2
Carrier inventory
Hands · gloves, bracelet or ring
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Hero Might increases led creatures’ Attack and the hero’s damage. An attribute increase is not the same as flat damage for every creature: final damage still depends on the target and other rules.
Practical use
The same own Might as Black Guard’s Gloves, with Ranger’s Set membership. If another piece completes a useful threshold, value it separately from the two attribute points.

Hero Might increases led creatures’ Attack and the hero’s damage. An attribute increase is not the same as flat damage for every creature: final damage still depends on the target and other rules.
Practical use
A straightforward early offensive choice. Compare Ranger’s Gloves when collecting a set and Gauntlets of the Minotaur for four Might in the same equipment category.

250 HP per recovery trigger
Carrier inventory
Hands · gloves, bracelet or ring
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
An item’s single use is distinct from permanently learning the spell. Polish and English tables do not specify its mana cost, fixed strength or school-perk interaction. Chinese item wording gives: 250 HP per recovery trigger. This has not been fully reconciled with the other references.
Practical use
Use recovery on a wounded survivor with enough maximum HP to benefit. The ordinary spell heals on stack activation; do not plan on this bracelet returning all casualties. An Elven Craft piece.
When it fits: For a mixed melee-and-ranged army inspect both groups’ ordering.

Flat Initiative points affect combat order. They are neither Heroes V ATB percentages nor the same number of Movement squares. Evaluate both armies’ actual values and applicable ordering changes.
Practical use
For a mixed melee-and-ranged army inspect both groups’ ordering. Ring of Celerity has twice the own bonus; this ring may still be preferable for a reached Elven Craft threshold.
Adds one Magic and twenty maximum mana; a Bloodforged component.

Magic / maximum mana
+1 / +20
Carrier inventory
Hands · gloves, bracelet or ring
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Twenty directly increases mana capacity rather than adding twenty Spirit or twenty daily regeneration. A maximum increase alone does not establish an instant refill. Magic applies through relevant spell formulas.
Practical use
Before a longer route compare capacity with available replenishment. For the next battle inspect actual stored mana rather than the larger maximum alone.

Carrier inventory
Hands · gloves, bracelet or ring
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Hero Might increases led creatures’ Attack and the hero’s damage. An attribute increase is not the same as flat damage for every creature: final damage still depends on the target and other rules.
Practical use
Twice the own Might of the basic two-point gloves. In a larger army compare actual Attack changes with Gauntlet of the Khan’s flat base-damage addition.

Might / Destiny
+2 / +5
Carrier inventory
Hands · gloves, bracelet or ring
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Might supports army Attack and the hero’s strike; Destiny contributes to creature Luck. Five Destiny is neither extra flat damage nor a guaranteed lucky hit every attack.
Practical use
Compare the steadier four Might of Minotaur gauntlets with offense, Luck and a reached Assassin threshold. Creature numbers and base damage affect the value of each choice.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
An item’s single use is distinct from permanently learning the spell. Polish and English tables do not specify its mana cost, fixed strength or school-perk interaction. Chinese item wording gives: 780–1,040 damage. This has not been fully reconciled with the other references.
Practical use
Choose an important target and check Air protection. Do not assume Master of Air II’s Initiative restriction or neighboring hits apply to the item cast without confirmation.

An item’s single use is distinct from permanently learning the spell. Polish and English tables do not specify its mana cost, fixed strength or school-perk interaction. Chinese item wording gives: 3 elementals. This has not been fully reconciled with the other references.
Practical use
Place reinforcements where even a less favorable random type can help. Access to the spell does not establish permanent daily recruitment or free choice of elemental type. A Bloodforged piece.

Flat Initiative points affect combat order. They are neither Heroes V ATB percentages nor the same number of Movement squares. Evaluate both armies’ actual values and applicable ordering changes.
Practical use

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Damage scaling belongs to the hero’s strike rather than every creature. At level L the reference addition is 3 × L. Health is a separate flat two per individual creature, not multiplied by hero level.
Practical use
At level ten the attack addition is thirty before further rules. Numerous Core troops may gain more value from aggregate added HP; compare both components and the Guardian threshold.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
An item’s single use is distinct from permanently learning the spell. Polish and English tables do not specify its mana cost, fixed strength or school-perk interaction. Chinese item wording gives: 50% of target total HP; exact health basis unverified. This has not been fully reconciled with the other references.
Practical use
Consider neighboring stacks being pulled as well as the main hit. Ordinary Implosion’s health basis H is not fully established; without verifying item strength do not forecast exact kills or automatically add Master of Prime III’s repeat.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
An item’s single use is distinct from permanently learning the spell. Polish and English tables do not specify its mana cost, fixed strength or school-perk interaction. Chinese item wording gives: Master range across the battlefield. This has not been fully reconciled with the other references.
Practical use
Plan relocation to a valid empty destination that fits the creature. A position change grants no free extra attack, and the relevant Prime perk is not automatically part of the ring. A Greater Lich’s Set piece.

Effect conflict
Immobilization until next turn / lost action this round
Carrier inventory
Hands · gloves, bracelet or ring
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The trigger is the hero’s strike rather than every creature attack. Polish and English say immobilization until the next turn; Chinese says losing the action opportunity in this round. Movement restriction and a complete lost action are therefore not conflated.
Practical use
Treat it as conditional control rather than a guaranteed shooter rescue. A single eligible attempt has an eighty-percent non-proc probability; keep a safe plan for that outcome.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.

Friendly creatures · Movement / working Initiative
+1 / +5
Chinese Initiative
+10
Carrier inventory
Hands · gloves, bracelet or ring
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Both values apply to creatures in combat. Polish and English list five Initiative while Chinese lists ten. Movement agrees at one; this is neither hero travel maximum nor an automatic spell cast.
Practical use
Check whether the extra square puts a target in reach and whether the stack acts in time. With sufficient existing reach, Celerity’s greater Initiative or another reached set threshold may be preferable.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Might
+4
Friendly creature · base damage
+1
Carrier inventory
Hands · gloves, bracelet or ring
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Might supports Attack and the hero strike; the flat base-damage increase belongs to individual creatures. One is not one percent and is not shooter-restricted like Assassin’s Boots’ own damage bonus.
Practical use
A flat point can have greater relative value for low-base-damage creatures. With numerous Core troops compare it with Cyclops’ eight Might, adding only the actually reached Warlord threshold.

Might
+8
Carrier inventory
Hands · gloves, bracelet or ring
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Hero Might increases led creatures’ Attack and the hero’s damage. An attribute increase is not the same as flat damage for every creature: final damage still depends on the target and other rules.
Practical use
Highest standalone Might among these gloves and rings. Against Khan compare four more Attack points with one flat base damage per creature and any reached Warlord threshold.

Sight radius
+2 squares
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Sight reveals nearby terrain rather than extending daily travel or visiting revealed locations. This cap itself does not grant Clairvoyance, which Scout’s Hat explicitly provides.
Practical use
Useful on a scouting assistant before committing to a route. Compare nearby visibility with Scout’s Hat and All-Seeing Crown’s smaller sight bonus combined with experience.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Hero · Spirit
+2
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Spirit is Heroes VII’s mana attribute, distinct from Magic and Arcane Knowledge. Two Spirit is neither two extra spell strength nor automatic higher-tier learning. A shared set bonus needs another equipped piece.
Practical use
On a longer route value mana endurance. Arcane Circlet has the same Spirit plus flat casting savings, so also compare availability and the occupied position.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Enemy creatures · Morale
−5
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The penalty targets the opponent without guaranteeing the loss of every turn. The mask alone grants neither every set threshold nor a simultaneous Luck penalty, and differs from unrelated campaign quest masks.
Practical use
Use against troops that actually use morale. Assess the five points alongside whether a second, fourth or sixth Assassin piece supplies another needed effect.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.

Carrier inventory
Head
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Jaskinia and Gamepressure list the morale penalty; the returned English wiki inventory instead lists two Might. These are different bonus types rather than two verified simultaneous effects, so the discrepancy is retained.
Practical use
Before planning morale suppression or offense check the installed tooltip. A matching row in one reference does not make it Assassin’s Mask, whose set membership is separately documented.

Sight / newly gained experience
+1 / +5%
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Sight and experience are evaluated separately. Set membership is documented on the set inventory although the individual card omits its link. Previously stored XP is not multiplied retroactively.
Practical use
The five-percent branch nominally adds fifty to a thousand-XP reward before other modifiers. Equip before earning the reward and compare that benefit with a combat helmet for a harder encounter.

Spell mana cost
−1 point
Carrier inventory
Head
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Savings are one flat point per cast rather than the ten-percent change used by some mods. The short item reference does not establish minimum cost or combination with further discounts. One Bloodforged piece.
Practical use
Frequent inexpensive spells gain a different proportional benefit from one costly activation. Five eligible casts nominally save five mana if each cost allows the whole point to be removed.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Defense / sight
+2 / +1
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Defense supports led creatures while sight supports map exploration. It adds no travel movement; this piece alone does not grant the two-piece threshold’s four combat-movement points.
Practical use
For an early army compare survival and scouting. With another Ranger piece value the shared threshold separately from this item’s own two Defense.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Enemy creatures · Luck
−10
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Affects opposing Luck rather than morale or Initiative. Ten is not interpreted as ten percent imported from another game; attack eligibility and results follow Heroes VII Luck rules.
Practical use
Consider it against important enemy attacks using Luck. Against control or direct-spell strategies compare direct defense or friendly action order.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Morale
+5
Gust of Wind
Once per combat
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The morale contribution and once-per-combat relocation effect are separate. The mask supplies neither unlimited use every round nor automatically every optional school perk.
Practical use
Save activation for relocation opening a safe attack or fixing a positioning problem. Before use check the eligible target and the actual granted Gust of Wind version.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.

Polish: once daily; English: once per combat
Carrier inventory
Head
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The Polish row says once daily; the English guide says once per combat. The spell itself scouts the adventure map rather than acting in battle. Route planning follows the daily description while retaining the discrepancy.
Practical use
First use wider nearby sight to choose the route, then assess distant scouting of a junction or objective. Do not automatically count another independent traveling activation above the hero’s ordinary limit.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Sight

Ice Strike
Once per combat
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Ice Strike is a supporting enchantment rather than automatically Ice Bolt’s direct single-target damage. This Heroes VII helmet does not inherit the Heroes VI namesake’s naval Leadership.
Practical use
Give the one-use enchantment to a stack that will make useful attacks during its duration. Evaluate additional sight on the route separately from the combat activation.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Metamagic at round start
+1 point
Faction
Academy
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Requires Academy without specifying Magic class alone. A Metamagic point is a racial-skill state rather than permanent Magic, hero level or automatic top mastery in every school. Caps and further effects follow the actual Metamagic development.
Practical use
Plan faster racial progress through the timing of a decisive cast. Compare another helmet’s direct Magic, especially if combat ends before a higher state becomes useful.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Might
+6
Led-creature Initiative
+5 points
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Might supports creature Attack and applicable hero damage. Five flat Initiative affects action order rather than combat reach or Heroes V ATB percentages. One Warlord’s Set piece.
Practical use
For an opening attack assess key-stack strength and order together. Six Might and five Initiative do not total eleven damage; the contributions serve different purposes.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Defense / Leadership
+4 / +10
Newly gained experience
+10%
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Its three branches support defense, morale and hero development. The name does not automatically make it a piece of the sixth game’s Windswords’ Set. Experience adds neither mana reserves nor spell strength.
Practical use
The experience branch nominally adds one hundred to a thousand-XP reward before other modifiers. For a decisive fight compare defense and morale with another helmet’s greater Might or Magic.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Magic / Spirit
+4 / +4
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Magic strengthens applicable magical effects; Spirit supports mana capacity and daily recovery. Neither is Arcane Knowledge or automatically unlocks fourth-tier spells.
Practical use
For a caster needing strength and endurance together. If Magic already suffices compare protection against the actual threat and reaching another Magister threshold.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Defense / Leadership / sight
+2 / +10 / +2
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
These are separate defense, morale and scouting contributions. Belongs to Shantiri Treasure. Matching Windsword Helmet’s Leadership does not also supply its four Defense and ten-percent experience.
Practical use
Compare other Shantiri pieces and actual scouting needs. On a day with many combat rewards Windsword Helmet’s experience branch may matter more.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships

Shadow Image
Once per combat
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Copying a friendly unit differs from taking an enemy with the sixth game’s Puppet Master. Check copy count and protection on the actual Heroes VII ability; optional Master of Darkness is not granted automatically. One Shantiri Treasure piece.
Practical use
Choose the original through the copy’s usable role and subsequent order. Save the single activation for a stage where the image actually gets an opportunity to act.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Friendly-creature Morale / Initiative
+10 / +10
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The Morale and Initiative tens are separate. This is one Guardian’s Set piece rather than the complete set. Initiative adds no movement tiles, and morale does not apply equally to every creature type.
Practical use
Evaluate the strong action-order contribution against the actual opponent. With troops lacking ordinary morale, Initiative and any set threshold retain separate value.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Positive-spell duration
+2 rounds
Daily mana
+8
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Positive-spell duration is neither longer hostile debuffs nor repeated instant healing. Daily eight means neither eight Spirit nor recovery each round. One Bloodforged piece; further extensions depend on the actual effect.
Practical use
Useful for sustained support and a long caster route. Before recasting check remaining duration to avoid paying early for an effect still active.

Daily production
1 wood
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This is recurring production at an eligible daily resolution rather than an instant reward every time it is equipped. Budget actual payouts; the first credit and any stacking depend on the applicable game rules.
Practical use
Five actual production events add five wood. Compare the next building and access to a sawmill; for a decisive battle value the occupied off-hand slot. Part of Elven Craft.
When it fits: Four actual payouts yield one thousand gold.

Defense
+2
Carrier inventory
Off hand

Morale support
+12
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Both descriptions support army morale rather than Attack or recurring thunder damage. A historical Uplay reward label does not establish current acquisition.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
These are different attributes rather than two verified simultaneous bonuses. Magic supports spells while Might supports army Attack and the hero strike. The historical Chinese table mentions a Uplay reward.
Practical use
Before equipping a caster inspect the actual tooltip and attribute change. Do not combine working Magic with alternative Might in an exact plan.

Friendly good-morale trigger
Enemy Morale / duration
−10 / until round end
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The condition is an actual good-morale trigger rather than merely a positive card value. The response is temporary. Stacking repeated triggers is unspecified; the Chinese source lists Haven availability.
Practical use
Useful with troops that can use Morale and against enemies affected by its penalty. This is not a permanent minus ten already active at every combat start. Part of Hallowed.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Leadership
+10
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Hero Leadership contributes to led creatures’ Morale. It guarantees no extra action and has different value for troops ignoring ordinary morale.
Practical use
Compare ten Leadership with Lion’s Shield’s five Leadership and two Defense. A Hallowed threshold can add economic value but guarantees no extra morale activation.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Enemy creatures · Luck
−10
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Tables also use enemy Destiny wording, but the recipients are enemy creatures. This concerns Luck rather than Morale or flat minus-ten damage. The penalty does not guarantee every strike is unlucky.
Practical use
Compare limiting opposing Luck with increasing your own through Four Leaf Clover or Golden Horseshoe. Both armies’ starting Luck and the actual Shantiri threshold matter.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Destiny
+10
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Hero Destiny contributes to led creatures’ Luck. An increase alone guarantees neither lucky attacks nor automatic Luck on every spell.
Practical use
Compare Golden Horseshoe’s twenty points and alternative direct protection. When survival of a particular hit matters, do not assume the lucky outcome is guaranteed.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Leadership / Defense
+5 / +2
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Leadership supports army Morale while Defense supports defense. The attributes do not merge into seven points of one statistic, and morale support does not replace reliable protection from every hit.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Spirit supports mana capacity and daily recovery. Under the statistics reference four points nominally adds forty maximum mana and eight daily regeneration.

This is an item source of the spell rather than automatic permanent dragon recruitment. Chinese lists five dragons while Polish and English artifact tables do not specify a count. Check the installed count and parameters.
Practical use
Prepare a valid summoning location and use Gold Dragon’s actual abilities. Do not count the units as permanent weekly production or grant the same item another use in one battle.
Reduces friendly incoming magic damage by five percent and halves all healing.

Friendly incoming magic damage
−5%
Battlefield healing
×0.5
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The healing penalty is not safely one-sided: Chinese explicitly names creatures across the battlefield. The five-percent damage reduction instead protects friendly troops. One Greater Lich’s Set piece.
Practical use
Value depends on who actually needs healing. For a friendly healing plan budget half recovery; against a powerful opposing healer the same limitation can work in your favor.

Offensive and support Warfare units · Attack
+10
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Recipients are the stated Warfare units rather than all army creatures or automatically every support unit healing value. Attack and a special ability’s direct budget are different quantities.
Practical use
Compare the actual attack profile of your faction’s Warfare unit. Without an eligible recipient the main remaining value may be reaching a Dwarven Work threshold.
The explicit item effect is +10 Attack for the stated Warfare types. Related profiles have different attacks, healing and protection actions; Attack alone does not establish +10 healing or a change to every support ability. The seven separate siege profiles are not assigned as the same group here.

Defense
+8
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Hero Defense adds to led creatures’ defense rather than removing the same flat HP amount from every hit.
Practical use
Highest own Defense among these shields. Against spell offense assess separate protection in other slots: a dragon name alone grants no universal elemental immunities. Part of Dragon Blessed.

Flee / surrender
Disabled for both heroes
Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The restriction applies to both sides rather than only trapping the opponent. It guarantees no victory, blocks no arbitrary creature relocation and does not govern adventure travel outside combat.
Practical use
Equip with a plan to finish the battle. If opposing equipment or reinforcements surprise you, do not assume your own escape remains available; also value the occupied hand.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Polish and English use fifteen-percent faster travel; Chinese instead gives movement cost at eighty-seven percent of normal. These are not exactly equivalent formulas and are not combined. Sight does not remove interaction costs or obstacles.
Practical use
For a naval scout compare coastal visibility and actual reach. Plan exact travel from the displayed route cost rather than both percentage formulations together.

Carrier inventory
Off hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This is recurring production at an eligible daily resolution rather than an instant reward every time it is equipped. Budget actual payouts; the first credit and any stacking depend on the applicable game rules.
Practical use
Five actual payouts yield five thousand gold. Compare the largest standalone daily income listed here with the cost of postponing protection or casting support in an important battle.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Two references agree on one and a third gives two offensive-attribute points. They are not combined into three. Might contributes to army Attack and the hero strike. One Assassin piece.
Practical use
Before an exact weapon comparison verify the installed value. Even a smaller own increase may help reach an actual Assassin threshold.

Friendly shooter · base damage
+1
Carrier inventory
Main hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
A flat point adds to an eligible shooter’s base damage rather than once to the entire stack. It is neither one percent nor a bonus to every melee creature.
Practical use
Compare Ideal Crossbow’s additional shooter Initiative and any reached Warlord threshold. Numerous weaker shooters can gain the largest relative base-damage increase.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Might
+5
Carrier inventory
Main hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Might supports led creatures’ Attack and the hero strike. This is neither five base damage per creature nor daily Movement. A historical Chinese table labels it a Uplay reward, which does not establish current service availability.
Practical use
For direct-combat troops compare the attribute gain with items scaling only the hero strike. A historical reward label does not guarantee a find on every map.

Carrier inventory
Main hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Destiny contributes to all led creatures’ Luck. This means neither twelve base damage nor guaranteed lucky attacks or automatic Luck on every hero spell.
Practical use
Compare probabilistic offensive support with another weapon’s direct Might. The Chinese inventory historically lists a Uplay reward; current availability is not inferred from that label.

Hero-strike damage
+6 × level
Carrier inventory
Main hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Per-level damage belongs to the hero’s direct strike rather than every army creature. At level L the addition is coefficient × L before further hit rules.
Practical use
At level ten the addition alone is sixty before further calculation. For a large army compare Might or creature base damage; a scaling weapon can offer less at low level.

Carrier inventory
Main hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
A flat point adds to an eligible shooter’s base damage rather than once to the entire stack. It is neither one percent nor a bonus to every melee creature. Additional Initiative belongs to the same shooter group rather than the entire army.
Practical use
Assess the first shot together with the ordering of its protectors. If range penalty is the main problem compare Unicorn Horn Bow: Initiative itself does not remove that penalty.
Where to compare it in practice
Conditional uses and multiple profiles to compare. Links establish neither item owners nor guaranteed starting inventory.
Ranged army
When shooters need both base damage and higher Initiative.
Initiative points are neither ATB percentages nor extra Movement squares. The crossbow does not have Unicorn Horn Bow’s penalty removal.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Magic is a general attribute, while the discount is Prime-restricted. It is flat rather than four percent; the item table does not establish minimum costs or stacking. Different Prime spells have their own mastery-cost rows.
Practical use
For repeated Dispel Magic compare the actual mastery-based cost before applying a discount. Access to Teleport or Implosion still needs the relevant learning.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The Polish link names Niebiańska Zbroja while the English table says Celestial Shield. The spell is catalogued here as Celestial Armor. Chinese item wording gives a 660-HP absorption budget; other tables do not specify fixed strength or cost.
Practical use
Apply protection before a threatening hit. An absorption budget does not automatically resurrect casualties; verify item parameters and the Hallowed threshold separately.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Hero strike · damage

Carrier inventory
Main hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Per-level damage belongs to the hero’s direct strike rather than every army creature. At level L the addition is coefficient × L before further hit rules. The HP bonus belongs to each creature rather than being two percent or two HP for the entire stack.
Practical use
For numerous Core troops compare aggregate added maximum HP with Dwarven Hatchet’s base-damage support. Asha’s Will is one Dragon Blessed piece rather than the full set.
Adds one shooter base damage and removes their shooting range penalty.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Polish and English describe one additional mark per enemy stack at combat start. Chinese instead says the start of each round. Listed availability is Sylvan; an exact equipment ban is not inferred from that alone.
Practical use
For a Nature’s Mark plan inspect the state after a round transition. Do not promise refreshing marks from one table, and evaluate shooter damage and the reached Elven Craft threshold separately.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Per-level damage belongs to the hero’s direct strike rather than every army creature. At level L the addition is coefficient × L before further hit rules. The Movement penalty concerns combat rather than the opposing hero’s daily travel. Chinese additionally lists enemy shooter Initiative minus five, omitted by the other two tables.
Practical use
Check whether the opponent can still reach a shooter after losing a square. Without verification do not rely on the extra Chinese row for guaranteed ordering. One Elven Craft piece.

Main hand
Rules, conditions and restrictions
General Magic supports applicable formulas across schools. Eight points is neither eight percent on every fixed effect nor eight Spirit or Arcane Knowledge.
Practical use
For a multi-school caster compare weapons offering less Magic but cheaper casts in one school. With sufficient mana, the decisive spell’s strength may matter more than another discount.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Extension is neither an automatic recast nor a repeat of instantaneous damage. It concerns ongoing harmful spells; the table does not fully establish special timers or recalculation when an effect is removed.
Practical use
In a long fight assess whether the target survives and whether Dispel Magic removes the effect. For a single immediate damage spell compare Staff of the Lyre’s higher general Magic.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Per-level damage belongs to the hero’s direct strike rather than every army creature. At level L the addition is coefficient × L before further hit rules. Additional Might supports army Attack; the fiery name does not itself give every creature Fire damage or dragon breath.
Practical use
At level ten the own scaling addition is ninety. Compare Ranger’s Bow’s shooter support and the actual Dragon Blessed threshold.

Per-level damage belongs to the hero’s direct strike rather than every army creature. At level L the addition is coefficient × L before further hit rules. Polish and English give shooters ten Initiative while Chinese gives five. The other two effects agree; the differing Initiative values are not added together.

Shoulders and cloak
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This reduces damage rather than supplying a ten-percent chance to resist an entire spell. In isolation it retains ninety from a relevant hundred-HP hit before any further calculation or rounding; it does not automatically stop non-damaging control.
Practical use
Choose against mixed schools. With one dominant known damage type compare its thirty-percent dragon cloak; Cloak of Warding offers stronger general protection and Defense.
Where to compare it in practice
Conditional uses and multiple profiles to compare. Links establish neither item owners nor guaranteed starting inventory.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The flat value belongs to each creature rather than the whole stack. A hundred uninjured creatures gain a hundred times this amount in aggregate maximum HP; changing equipment does not establish an automatic healing effect.
Practical use
One HP can change casualties among numerous early Core troops. This is an Elven Craft piece; value the second-piece threshold separately from its own health.

Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Magic enters the applicable spell formulas. It is neither the same percentage on every damage value, mana-supporting Spirit nor the Arcane Knowledge required to learn a spell.
Practical use
A basic general choice across schools. Compare with a school-restricted twelve-Magic pendant and the stronger Dragon Fangs Necklace or Dragon Heart.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.

Defense
+1
Fog Shroud
Once per combat
Carrier inventory
Neck
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The one-use spell is separate from Defense. Fog Shroud prevents ranged targeting but also restricts the target’s own shooting and activated abilities. The amulet supplies neither unlimited casts nor automatically every school perk.
Practical use
Time protection for dangerous shooting and choose a target that does not need its restricted action. This is a Guardian piece, so a second set component may affect the choice despite its small Defense.

Hero · Defense
+5
Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Defense adds defense to led creatures. Five Defense does not subtract five HP from every attack; the outcome depends on the attacker and combat formula.
Practical use
Five Defense can help in a hard direct engagement despite the nautical name. The listed effect itself supplies neither faster sailing nor removal of shooting penalties.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Hero · Spirit
+5
Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Spirit supports mana: the statistics reference gives ten maximum mana and two daily regeneration per point. It adds neither the same Magic nor school mastery.
Practical use
The statistics reference makes five Spirit nominally worth fifty maximum mana and ten daily regeneration. Across a many-battle route compare endurance with strengthening the decisive spell.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.

Neck
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Magic enters the applicable spell formulas. It is neither the same percentage on every damage value, mana-supporting Spirit nor the Arcane Knowledge required to learn a spell.
Practical use
Supports multiple schools while school necklaces offer a larger restricted boost. It belongs to Dragon Blessed; one necklace alone does not activate the two-piece threshold.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Might
+4
Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Heroes VII Might increases led creatures’ Attack and the hero’s attack damage. Do not substitute Heroes VI’s physical Might Power; four Might grants neither another action nor four movement tiles.
Practical use
For a direct-offense army compare the actual Attack gain with alternatives’ Initiative and health. In a Warlord build assess the threshold actually reached rather than every set bonus at once.

Magic for the corresponding school
Dark: +12
Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The bonus is restricted to the named school. It supplies an attribute for applicable formulas rather than twelve percent extra damage. It teaches neither the school nor a spell; a fixed effect with no scaling may gain nothing from Magic.
Practical use
Before sustained control or damage check which duration or damage formula uses Magic. Higher Magic alone does not bypass target immunity.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The bonus is restricted to the named school. It supplies an attribute for applicable formulas rather than twelve percent extra damage. It teaches neither the school nor a spell; a fixed effect with no scaling may gain nothing from Magic.
Practical use
For healing and protection compare the actual HP or shield of the chosen spell. A fixed duration or effect is not guaranteed to change merely because it belongs to Light.

The bonus is restricted to the named school. It supplies an attribute for applicable formulas rather than twelve percent extra damage. It teaches neither the school nor a spell; a fixed effect with no scaling may gain nothing from Magic.
Practical use
For Frost Bolt or area damage inspect the actual formula and target defenses. For a plan based only on a fixed shooting restriction consider mana endurance instead.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The bonus is restricted to the named school. It supplies an attribute for applicable formulas rather than twelve percent extra damage. It teaches neither the school nor a spell; a fixed effect with no scaling may gain nothing from Magic.
Practical use
Evaluate the change in specific healing or damage before paying to cast. For troops mainly holding a choke point direct Defense or maximum HP may be preferable.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The bonus is restricted to the named school. It supplies an attribute for applicable formulas rather than twelve percent extra damage. It teaches neither the school nor a spell; a fixed effect with no scaling may gain nothing from Magic.
Practical use
Before area damage account for friendly targets and fire protection. Twelve Magic does not solve positioning or target eligibility.

The bonus is restricted to the named school. It supplies an attribute for applicable formulas rather than twelve percent extra damage. It teaches neither the school nor a spell; a fixed effect with no scaling may gain nothing from Magic.
Practical use
Compare Lightning Bolt’s actual damage change; for relocation the reachable position also matters. More Magic does not supply an extra hero casting opportunity.

Additional 5% HP · incomplete interpretation
Carrier inventory
Neck
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The restriction is factional rather than a universal healing or Resurrection bonus. The short references do not resolve five percentage points of conversion versus a multiplier on its result; these different calculations are not conflated.
Practical use
Assess it across eligible battles and actual Necromancy returns. Before forecasting exact new creatures check the installed tooltip, eligible casualties and rounding.

Friendly creature maximum HP
+2
Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The flat value belongs to each creature rather than the whole stack. A hundred uninjured creatures gain a hundred times this amount in aggregate maximum HP; changing equipment does not establish an automatic healing effect.
Practical use
For a ten-base-HP creature two points nominally equal twenty percent of original maximum; for a hundred-HP creature only two percent. Compare protection of numerous Core troops with a defensive amulet.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Enemy Morale
−10
Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Ten is a combat morale penalty rather than verified accumulation of another ten each round. The Heroes VI namesake has different wording that is not imported here. Morale and Luck remain distinct.
Practical use
Use against creatures affected by ordinary morale. Against troops ignoring Morale compare Initiative or direct offensive gear and separately assess the reached Lich threshold.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.

+5 · disputed trigger
Carrier inventory
Neck
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The Polish table names allies with Blood Rage. The Chinese description explicitly names allies who lost that state. These are opposite triggers, so neither permanent defense nor one conclusively established condition is asserted.
Practical use
Before building around it inspect a stack’s Defense when entering and leaving Blood Rage. Until the installation’s behavior is checked do not assume five extra Defense for surviving a decisive hit.

Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Magic enters the applicable spell formulas. It is neither the same percentage on every damage value, mana-supporting Spirit nor the Arcane Knowledge required to learn a spell.
Practical use
Highest general Magic of this necklace trio. For a caster using several schools compare eight universal points with twelve restricted to a single school.

Enemy creature maximum HP
−4
Carrier inventory
Neck
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This changes maximum health rather than dealing four poison damage over time or adding four friendly damage. The short references do not establish minimum resulting HP or recalculation of an injured stack.
Practical use
Proportionally strongest against numerous low-base-HP troops. Derive survivors and any minimum from actual in-game values rather than assuming instant kills of low-health creatures.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Friendly creature maximum HP

Carrier inventory
Neck
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The flat value belongs to each creature rather than the whole stack. A hundred uninjured creatures gain a hundred times this amount in aggregate maximum HP; changing equipment does not establish an automatic healing effect.
Practical use
The base references give four HP. Content Restoration Mod changes this to six, so compare builds within the same installation and rules. This item belongs to Bloodforged.

Magic / Destiny
+4 / +10
Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Magic supports applicable spell formulas while Destiny contributes to led creatures’ Luck. Ten Destiny does not by itself establish automatic luck on every hero spell.
Practical use
Useful for an army combining strong attacks with an active caster. For a purely magical plan compare Dragon Heart’s eight Magic or twelve restricted to a single school.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.

Gained / opposing spent mana
1 : 2
Carrier inventory
Neck
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The trigger is actual opposing mana expenditure rather than nominal cast count or your own cost. Odd remainders, capacity overflow and combination with similar effects are not specified. One Bloodforged piece.
Practical use
Eligible expenditure of twenty mana corresponds to ten under the listed ratio. An opponent without relevant casting provides no return; compare regular regeneration and the set threshold actually reached.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Maximum mana
+40
Carrier inventory
Torso
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This directly increases capacity rather than adding forty Spirit or recurring mana income. A maximum increase alone does not establish an instant refill when changing equipment.
Practical use
Useful before a multi-battle route when mana can be replenished. For the next encounter inspect actual reserves and compare Ranger’s Armour’s mana attribute.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Spirit
+2
Carrier inventory
Torso
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The statistics reference gives each Spirit ten maximum mana and two daily regeneration. Two therefore nominally adds twenty capacity and four regeneration rather than two Magic or higher-tier spell learning.
Practical use
For a longer expedition compare mana recovery with Chasuble’s larger pure capacity. Value any reached Ranger threshold separately.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Jaskinia and Gamepressure agree on Defense and flyer Movement. The Chinese inventory under the corresponding name gives five Defense and two Leadership. These are not verified simultaneous effects. The set inventory includes it in Hallowed.
Practical use
Before planning a flyer’s reach check the installed tooltip. Even the working one Movement means neither hero travel nor a guaranteed valid landing.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The Chinese inventory replaces Leadership with thirty-percent Prime protection. The Polish individual card links Hallowed while its set inventory and the English guide list Shantiri Treasure. Membership follows the set inventory, with the discrepancy retained.
Practical use
Do not combine the morale bonus and Prime protection into one supposedly verified armor. Check the tooltip and active set before swapping, especially when the Shantiri experience threshold matters.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Extension concerns beneficial ongoing spells on friendly creatures rather than instantaneous hits or all hostile statuses. It does not itself repeat a spent activation; the short tables do not establish every special timer interaction. The Chinese item-cast description gives Inner Fire sixty Attack and ten Morale; other working tables do not specify that fixed strength.
Practical use
Time the single buff before the target’s important action. Do not automatically add every Fire perk or unlimited casts; verify the item activation’s price and strength in the installation.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Polish and English descriptions give Prime protection; Chinese instead gives flyer Movement plus one. These alternatives are not combined. Individual references include it in Shantiri Treasure while the working set inventory omits it.
Practical use
Before fighting Implosion verify the actual description and active set. Damage reduction alone does not establish immunity to pulling or other non-damaging effects.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Both attributes contribute to the led army’s corresponding Attack and Defense. They grant neither extra actions nor flat two-HP damage increases and reductions on every hit.

Balanced for direct combat. Its own attributes are below Dragon Scale Armour, but a reached Warlord threshold can change the overall comparison.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Magic / Spirit

Torso
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Magic supports applicable spell formulas while Spirit supports mana capacity and recovery. Two Spirit nominally means twenty maximum mana and four daily regeneration under the statistics reference.
Practical use
Across several battles compare balanced casting with the mana-focused Sar-Issus robe. An actual Magister threshold may add another component, but the robe alone does not activate the full set.

Extension concerns beneficial ongoing spells on friendly creatures rather than instantaneous hits or all hostile statuses. It does not itself repeat a spent activation; the short tables do not establish every special timer interaction. Production is one of Dragonblood Crystal, Dragonsteel, Shadowsteel or Starsilver rather than one of each. The Chinese description explicitly confirms random selection.
Practical use
Five actual production events yield five total units rather than five guaranteed units of the resource you need. Do not base a critical next-day building on one particular random result.

Extension concerns beneficial ongoing spells on friendly creatures rather than instantaneous hits or all hostile statuses. It does not itself repeat a spent activation; the short tables do not establish every special timer interaction. Defense and Destiny separately support army defense and Luck. This is the torso piece of Battle Garb of the Griffin despite its necklace-like name.
Practical use
Value two extra rounds only where support can still affect another action. In a short fight another armor’s direct attributes may matter more; for Griffin collecting track thresholds two, three and four.

The four attributes have different recipients and formulas. Spirit is not Arcane Knowledge, and Magic is not a flat spell-cost discount. The armor grants no own travel bonus.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Flat HP belongs to each individual creature; reduction applies to relevant magic damage. This is not a five-percent chance to resist an entire spell. A maximum change alone does not guarantee instant healing.
Practical use
For numerous small creatures compare aggregate maximum HP with Pirate Armour’s direct Defense. Under heavy magic pressure stronger protection in another slot may matter more.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Spirit nominally adds forty capacity and eight daily regeneration under the statistics reference. The discount is a separate flat two per eligible cast; the table does not establish minimum costs or stacking.
Practical use
Five casts receiving the full discount nominally save ten mana. For frequent inexpensive casting compare savings with Magister’s Robe’s Magic and any school-specific footwear.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Defense supports the army’s defense attribute while HP is a separate flat per-creature amount. This is neither two percent health nor the same relative benefit for Core and Champion units.

Carrier inventory
Torso
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Polish and English inventories list all three effects. Chinese confirms Defense and Light protection but omits HP, making tooltip verification of the health addition relevant. One Guardian piece.
Practical use
Against Light offense compare targeted protection and numerous stacks’ health. Damage protection is neither reduced friendly healing nor automatic immunity to every Light status.
A list can contain alternatives for the same position rather than a simultaneously wearable loadout. Thresholds are listed separately; linked item cards explain each piece’s own effect. Three disputed supplemental memberships are explicitly marked.
The two-piece effect is creature combat reach rather than four hero travel points. Check the actual contact it opens; six pieces also needs the main-hand bow.
Distinguish mana capacity from actually replenished reserves. The six pieces occupy head, neck, shoulders, torso, feet and off hand; read their own effects separately.
Defense +4 and maximum HP per friendly creature +2.
Value flat HP using creature count and base health. Amulet of Disguise has membership only on its individual card; six-piece inventories omit it, so do not assume it can substitute without verification.
This is a pool of alternatives rather than a six-piece simultaneous loadout: three candidates use the same off hand. Only a two-piece threshold is documented. Regal Armour has a disputed effect, and one individual card incorrectly links Shantiri Armour here.
The two-piece penalty does not affect every enemy melee creature. Account for Libram of Last Rites weakening friendly healing; the ring’s Teleport has separate conditions.
The first threshold supports shooters while Khan’s own bonus supports all friendly creatures. Keep recipient groups distinct. The last threshold also supports frontline ordering.
The four-piece base-damage penalty has broader recipients than Cloak of Darkness’s shooter-only effect. Resulting HP and damage floors are unspecified, so automatic kills or zero-damage hits are not inferred.
The six school cloaks are shoulder alternatives rather than six simultaneous protections. Shalassa’s repeated Elrath thumbnail is corrected by name and the English inventory. Dragon Fangs Necklace has supplemental uncertain membership from its individual card.
Eight candidates include daily resources, weapons and Warfare support. The Notebook uses the off hand according to its individual card rather than the main hand stated in an erroneous English set row.
Eleven candidates have only a documented two-piece threshold. Choose compatible positions: two main-hand weapons are not a simultaneously equipped pair. Wayfarer combines travel and income; Avenger has disputed mark recurrence.
Ten candidates are equipment alternatives: three circlets cannot be counted as three simultaneously worn pieces. Daily mana is neither recovery each combat round nor four Magic.
The bonus does not recalculate stored XP retroactively. Alternative armors or helmets do not themselves fill two compatible positions. Windsword Plate has individual-card membership omitted by set inventories.
Referenced healing ability: up to 1,320 HP including target resurrection; neighboring friendly stacks receive 120-HP healing and resurrection over three turns. Strength and activation parameters are not fully verified.
The four actual pieces use four different positions. The English final threshold is four; Polish “six” contradicts the whole set. The healing figures are not presented as a universal formula for every version or an automatic action-free activation.
Unverified parameters: Polish gives an erroneous final threshold of six; English gives four. Healing budget, cost, frequency and attribute scaling require installation verification.
The eight categories distinguish head, neck, shoulders with cloak, torso, hands, feet, main hand and off hand. Hands include gloves, bracelets and rings according to the reference inventory. This does not establish an unverified number of simultaneously equipped rings.
Hero Might increases led creatures’ Attack and direct hero damage; Defense adds to army defense. Magic supports applicable spell formulas. The statistics reference gives each Spirit ten maximum mana and two daily regeneration. Arcane Knowledge is a separate learning requirement.
Leadership supports army Morale and Destiny its Luck. Flat base damage or maximum HP per individual creature uses a different scale from a hero attribute. Morale, Luck, Initiative and Movement are four distinct quantities.
Hero maximum Movement concerns daily map travel while creature Movement concerns combat reach. Initiative affects ordering without importing Heroes V’s percentage ATB system. Every card names its recipients: shooters, melee units, flyers and all creatures are distinct groups.
Per-level weapon damage belongs to the hero strike. For example, six times level means a sixty-point addition at level ten before further rules, rather than sixty for every creature. An item can separately have another army effect.
One spell per combat is not permanent learning. Exact mana cost, fixed strength, school-perk interaction and target eligibility of item activation are not automatically inferred from ordinary spell rows; unresolved parameters are identified on the card.
Count daily income through actual production events. Horn of Plenty and Alchemist’s Robe give one random rare resource in total rather than all four. A higher mana or Movement maximum alone does not establish an immediate refill on swapping equipment.
Set lists can be pools of alternative pieces. A threshold needs a valid equipped combination rather than everything in a backpack or several weapons for one hand. Thresholds are listed separately; without verification no full total or universal modifier order is asserted.
Specific inventory errors are reconciled across thirteen sets: Shalassa retains its own name and icon instead of a repeated Elrath thumbnail, and Griffin’s final threshold needs four pieces. Supplemental memberships for Amulet of Disguise, Dragon Fangs Necklace and Windsword Plate remain explicitly uncertain.
