Poll Question:
Worst Inferno hero

Dear HC'ers come back here, but I tell you those heroes are poor in RoE. Take your lesson, but advanced AB and/or SoD players can give a comment. Remember common brainy, this isn't HotA nor WoG/ERA. Ok then maybe I do the last thread, because all alliances have an Eagle Eye, except Conflux, so this thread can be useless. Ok I know the worst Inferno hero is Ash, because I never played her since RoE. Ok I vote a Ash.

Voted for Axsis.

The Mysticism specialty isn't turning the skill even partly good. Axis also comes with the least useful starting spell you can have. There's an argument to be made that Axsis is the worst hero in the game, but I would personally place him to be around the 5th least useful one.

Olema isn't far from Axis, but there's at least some utility to be gained from Weakness that is cast once and lasts for 2 turns + the fact that she can teach her spell to Scholar.

Ash has an actual spell, and can give a neat damage bonus for some early troops in the beginning of the game. It falls off fast, but for early skirmishes, it is certainly much better what Olema and Axsis can bring to the table.

Why is Calh an option? I picked him as main hero sometimes and he was alright.

Worst is probably Axsis, I guess.

Ok I teach you.. Now this is joking thread, because Halon is the same as Axsis. And Calh for pro player, not in the RoE, psychologist matter.. What I/HC house asked you, but ok Axsis, when you want be the best bloodlust, so you also think Inteus? Ok hmm we must to discuss/talk more, do you have an idea? I'm not sure now.. Axsis is awesome avatar.. and some don't play with Fire by heresy, thus Heretic.. Simple!

I used to play with Xyron the Heretic just because I loved his portrait.

Aww come on guys, Axsis is not that bad, recovering a bit of mana each day is not bad, even in RoE.
Olemas Ballistics is completely useless and trying to get Water Magic for a Heretic, will just completely mess up her skills.

I would take Axsis over Olema any day of the week.

I don't know about worst Inferno hero, but most annoying one is Xyron. Here is his specialty description as an explanation:
Quote:
Xyron's proficiency with the Inferno spell allows him to cast it with increased effect, based on his level compared to the level of the target unit. (greater bonus on weaker units). Eventually, that is, because his proficiency with the Knowledge skill isn't good enough to cast it all.
Of course, once he CAN cast the spell he probably won't do it, because his profiency with other spells will probably br preferrable...

When ranking the heroes, I tend to think what kind of role is suitable for each of them. Some heroes are good as mains, some good only as supports, and some who are despite the way how the player decides to use them. Axsis is arguably better as main than Olema, but is there really a reason other than curiosity of adventure and challenge to treat him as such?

The problem I have with Axsis is that Heretic class is probably the least useful - it doesn't build towards anything desirable, and the starting primary stats are extremely ugly, too. Then, when you remember that Axsis has no real starting spell, and his choice of skill and specialty are also nothing to tell home about. In other words, I think there's no world where using Axsis makes sense as main gameplay-wise.

And if there is no real reason to use such hero as main, then the capabilities as secondary hero should be considered. There Olema has a slight advantage, as she brings at least a semi-useful spell as a low level hero, something that really cannot be said about Axsis.

Fair enough.
It's also because there are so many things that ruins Mysticism. (Wells, Magic Springs, Mana Vortices, Wizard's Well etc. I nerfed a lot of those things in my mod, which makes Mysticism better.)
Mysticism was also made a lot better in HotA, but this is about RoE so I agree it is bad, I would still take Axsis over Olema though. Ballistics is also (one of) my least favorite skills.

True, but Leadership is so much better than Scholar... I mean, if you want to play that hero.

Ok..

*Olema*

We know Phoenix4ever very, he (Phoenix4ever) hates Ballistics, thus poor. But if Anti-Magic works for Ballistics, I can't remember, but first Olema casts some spell something, it can be Armageddon, and then surrender, for example, also first Olema gets to break the enemy gate, if Olema doesn't use a flying and teleporting units, so infantry are enough! My Elite map, Tocath taught how to beat the enemy was destroying the Ballistics, but Tocath wasn't taught how to beat the skiller. Ok her Weakness is strong, when Expert Weakness caused -6 Attack stat, and still her specialty takes -3 Attack from 1-2lvl creatures, etc Then suck Marksmen.. also Crusaders -6 plus -2.. I kept her neutral. Not bad or bright. We agree your opinion.

*Xyron*

Inferno is good as Fireball, but Scholar, when Fear spell in the RoE, what a evil, where are evil can spread around the Erathia. No longer, now's Azure Dragon, because JVC said much better. Depends on your amount of heroes, who do you need spells from? Gem, or who? Scout collects spells and goes to meet Xyron? Even if he isn't bad hero. Ok I haven't idea about Xyron, but we agree your good taste.

*Xarfax*

Yes cool Fireball and his Leadership, but HotA ruined his skill, maybe balanced with Scholar, it means Eagle Eye never nerfed, what we hope only Eagle Eye can learn Azure's Fear, etc and then you need Scholar, what a result is the same RoE style was Fear spell. Heroes are meant for work. Ok I can't tell more about Xarfax than Olema. But Xarfax doesn't belonged to bad list.

That being said, I don't think Fiona belongs in this bad hero list.

Yeah, she should most definitely not be here, as she's likely the Demoniac you would want to see among your hero roster, despite the town you did start with. In general, Demoniacs are an okay class, or at least they come with solid skills. Basically all of them got something to offer, except probably Rashka, who is a prime example of showing that uniqueness doesn't necessary make a good hero.
