COMBAT GUIDE - 7 Easy Tips and Tricks - Hero's Hour Tutorial

hello everybody welcome to my combat guide for hirozawa i'm icon and in this video i'm going to introduce seven tips tricks and strategies to improve your combat as usual there are time stamps in the description box below so if you're looking for a specific topic you'll find it there so let's get started with the first one it's a very very simple one and it's so important that i put it on the first part of this video so it's simple build infirmaries and hospitals they are super effective and unique to this game simply said whenever a combat happens wherever it happens 50 percent of the losses get resurrected in the closest town with a hospital or infirmary and 50 is only the starting value you can pump it up even higher there with skills artifacts and whatnot so all in all rushing infirmaries is really really vital because from that point on you'll get so much more for your money and you'll get to reuse your armies much more decently another cool thing to know is if your troops are back at town for example here you don't need to send your hero back to town you can just press the arrow here and your army is dislodged and can travel on its own so you don't need to have complicated logistics things you can't just send the armies after your hero and uh fuse them together there really powerful stuff very simply simple to pull off and very easy to overlook in my humble opinion so the next thing i want to talk about is use those advantage meters accordingly what do i mean with that whenever you hover over a fight you see how easy or hard the the game considers this fight to be ranges from easy to impossible a really easy rule of thumb is for me whenever a fight is flagged as more than easy on the overworld map i don't even bother with it unless i know my hero and my army well um certain heroes so soon as they have a couple of spells and a couple of army power powerful units can easily overwhelm something with a higher difficulty but especially at the beginning of the game the more overwhelming force you put up on on top of your enemy the the lower your losses and the easier it is to snowball on top of your enemy the only points where i differ from my rule of thumb is ai enemies conquering cities or anything that i really need for example i don't know a resource mine because i don't have any or any a really tasty artifact or whatever if it's something that you really want to have it's of course worse of course worth taking a risk but otherwise i make the experience that it's really always worth waiting for a bigger army rather than taking unnecessary losses because you wanted to put up a epic fight like i said when it's against computer enemies or such losses are totally okay and should be involved because that's how you win the game you know alright that's all i want to say about these advantage meters they are pretty useful and if you use them accordingly you can pretty much navigate yourself through the combat quite decently the next thing on the list is use your magic and your hero skills often and as much as possible every hero has access to either spells or hero skills for example here the goblin hero has the might and the might unlocks unique spells for his roster these things are more often enough so powerful that you can easily topple enemies that are stronger than you but you really should practice it and train it before you go crazy into a super strong enemy my personal favorite strategies are the disabling ones so spells that disable your enemy like hypnotize making them move aimlessly for a while berserk turning them against each other or smaller versions of that like slowing them cursing them whatever i made super super good experiences with that because whenever you use these spells a lot the chances are higher that your losses are diminishing vastly there's of course other methods like summoning units to keep the enemy distracted and using direct damage spells whatever explore your factions options and your heroes options and use them as much as possible because it's all so much worth it now with that out of the way next point on my list is set up your army fitting to your hero that's a pretty complicated part ish there's no rule of thumb there's no general thing that i can't say other than check out your skill tree of your hero and think about which units are fitting to that for example this dude here excels at unit creation he's creating his own units he's summoning while he's in combat after combat and he's also really good at ranged units so what i did there for his army was mostly hiring ranged units at my town relying on one or two different types of frontliners that do the job while i pelt away with my archers every hero has other specializations for example this dude here has the legion trait which makes small units a lot more powerful so it might be already a hint that this dude with a extremely high powered legion skill might be featuring goblins from hell there's a lot of things that you can't discover and think about and i really recommend you to try around experiment around and try to mold your army to your heroes skills and you will find a lot more impact although this is a long term thing because there's just so much variety very variance there that it's hard to set up a ground rule for that now the next thing that i want to talk about is building up your troop roster as quick as possible is a really really vital part and this has nothing to do with combat directly you just get to the point where you can't overwhelm your enemy quite easily as long as you focus building these troop buildings as quick as possible build those forts and strongholds as quick as possible and pump up your creature cree and creature production as quick as you can simply said every creature that's sitting in town that can't be hired because you're broke is okay it's waiting for you until you can and therefore the quicker you have these uh these buildings up the more the more power you have in your roster and that's most of the time a good thing so this leads you to a play style where you should be aiming to pilfer as many resources as quick as possible and whenever you can build those buildings to get more troops it's really that important there's also a lot of buildings on the map like here the uh guard post featuring three units from other factions there's a lot of these and they are all worth checking out so i can't really or i don't really want to put up any um general strategies there because every faction is different you should always consider for yourself what you do there first which units you want to upgrade first but it's pretty interlinked with a point that i mentioned before you want to put up an army that fits to your hero as quick as possible and that's pretty much it but um forcing the product the building of these um of these structures as quick as possible is one foolproof way to improve your combat performance without being a better general at all so the next thing that i want to mention which goes pretty much into the same niche as we were before is use free troops as much as possible free troops what do they mean with that free troops are spawning from hero skills like here mercurial this dude eats up one unit of quicksilver mercury per per turn and creates units out of that he's also creating units after combat he's also creating three units per day there's tons of different mechanics in this game that provide you exactly this for example the sorcerers here have access to three units via the ether forge every every every faction has a way to put up three units and use them as much as possible because you know they are the perfect cannon fodder free units are what you want to put up now the first round of your combat because you didn't put up money for them 50 or more get resurrected by the infirmaries anyway so they are really important and really really powerful for you and check them out whatever you fact whatever faction you play you have access to something and not using it is cutting you off from a nice reinforcement of your army and now to the last part of my list and as you see here not a single tip involved getting better at the battlefield except for the magic and the hero skills the last one is keep your armies reinforced as much as possible this means use those convoys that you can't send over the map as part as much as possible try to use for example the town portal spell smartly so here the town portal spell allows you to travel to one of your cities put of your choice every seven days it's really important that you think about how to reinforce your armies before it's delight every new sector that you conquer should have a new hero a new army a new logistics spot where you can sit where you think about how to get your armies to your most powerful dude again because otherwise if you don't if you don't respect reinforcements and logistics your the ai will swarm your freshly conquered stuff and grab it all back you'll not get to keep anything if you don't so if you for if you so as you see here i have two heroes here i've put up even a new army there because i've conquered that and this is also something where which really really helps you a ton whenever you go to a new sector make sure that the sector behind you is somewhat safe because the ai will fall into your back ruthlessly and keep your main heroes supplied by sending either armies after him or sending him to the armies via town portal that's all i can say these are the most basic combat tips i am working on another video which features more tips and tricks that are in the real time combat but i haven't made up enough material yet to fill an entire video so i wanted to put up these strategical tips in this video and i hope they helped you out so drop me your comments down below leave any other helpful idea that you have or whatever's
