What hero special do you like for your Inferno might hero? I made mine have +10% extra on Regeneration but I think +40 mana is better =/

Depends on the map.  Regeneration is useful as it makes your regen more effective and saves you a skill point, which you can use for logistics/enlightenment in the beginning.  40 mana is ok in the beginning, since it allows you to creep more, but really loses its edge in a few levels...

Have you tried exploration?  If you start with that you will need to pick regeneration as your first skill, which delays enlightenment, but you do have the option to have +6 land movement.  That lets you catch up or run away from enemy heroes..I pick that most often, with any hero.

I never thought of that xD Usually I go for something that boost in battles but the extra movement seems good too! I thought that picking regen also saves me a point, especially being the first one I would pick Enlightment

Are we talking about dynasty bonuses too?

Because that also changes which specializations you may wish to take.

I think acolyte of fortune is also pretty solid since your racial is boosted by critical hits. Also, I would include fire magic specialization since, at the very least, pit lords deal fire damage and would go well with blood based magic hero.

Yeah fire is solid.  Succubus and (I think) breeders also deal fire magic based damage.  However the +3 movement bonus is insane when you consider longer games (you gain 3 per day = 21 more movement per week over your opponent, meaning more creeping, easier chaining, etc)

I am going to venture to say that it is probably more map dependent, in some cases the pay offs will be much better with exploration and in other cases it'll be a good skill but not necessarily the best.

Though if we talk about dynasty traits, you'll end up netting a total of 6 movement points at the very least.

It's probably just me, but how in the Name of Urgash am I supposed to aim a Juggenaut's Charge skill?
I only rarely get to place that square on a place that allows me to use it and I'm not seeing what the criteria are.

You need to target a 2x2 area next to an enemy creature (the 2x2 area must be totally free and must be in contact with an enemy). Any unit (friendly or enemy) that is 1 square from the pathing will take damage.

Great, that helps a lot. Still some questions left for me though.
Can I pick an area outside the movement allowance?
And more importantly, can I aim this charge through or agains a seige-gate?

you can't move further than you would be able to otherwise.

as as for charging through gates, i'm not sure, but you can charge through other units.

Succubus and Breeders have fire damage on their attacks, but the Pit Lords only have it on their boundless hate ability, not their attacks. With the blade of hatred affect, I'm not sure how fire can improve this...do the affected enemy stack's deal more damamge if fire magic is high? If no affect, then Pit fiend is not affected by fire magic...

Hateful Retaliation does fire damage as well.

Best strategy for inferno that comes to my mind is to hit the lower right button in the hero screen and confirm

I'm not really in the mood to start the "Inferno is underpowered as hell" (pun intended) thing in this thread as well, it's rather futile really, but I'd like to point out that the Pit Lord has the most useless ability of all upgraded Champions. Boundless Hate adds virtually nothing to the creature's effectiveness.
