How to use this hero

Protect shooters and watch melee creatures’ facing. Flanking depends on the actual attack direction. The listed army guides planning, but a mission may change its counts.

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: Offense · Necromancy. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.

Roster and source scope

98 profiles: 89 from seven Acid Cave faction lists including Trial by Fire Fortress and bonus characters, plus 9 campaign profiles: Ivan, six other protagonists, Danan and Malwen. Documented roles and scenario objectives have separate explanations; complete campaign starting values remain under review. Governor bonuses require assignment and the relevant town area. Numerical starting attributes are still being verified.

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.
