What's your favourite heroic ability? - Page 2

Hmmm... I'd have to say Awe, then Quickness, then Toughness. Though I enjoy when I get Precision on a mage or Priest, that's a better bang for my buck (over quickness or toughness), at least for me.

Ooops. I think maybe I've become to used to SCs that I forgot that 10hp weaklings with heroic toughness turn into ... 27hp weaklings. So I think Awe might well be vying for 2nd place in my list.

There's still a few missing though.

I have an immortal Lu Tung-Pin right now who has Heroic Quickness. I think it is +110% or so. That, combined with a few other related power-ups means that he can spew out 3 or 4 spells per combat turn. This is in a 2 vs 2 game with me and my brother vs. Panther and Tauren.

Shovah, it does stack but pretty trivially. Getting Awe +0 is a big deal (it means a dude with a morale of 10 has about a 50/50 chance of being able to attack you; each point of Awe above that raises the 50/50 morale by one). I think the shield gives you +1 or +0 or something... Stacked with heroic awe, it adds a very small amount. You'd be better off with a different shield...

One of my favorite Heroic Abilities is Heroic Endurance on a spellcaster.

Heroic Toughness also has a cute interesting point... if your Prophet gets it, it turns into majorly upgraded hp... I had a Niefel Jarl Prophet who got it once, and I think he had 300-400+ hp in high Dominion provinces. I might be a bit off, but I don't think so... it's been a while... I seem to think it might have been over 500 once, but I'd have to do the math to figure how high Toughness had to go for that.

Yes, Toughness on a prophet is even better than Quickness. It means your prophet can fight in -10 dom with impunity.

It's especially rather nice on a water queen. Once she gets up to 120 or so hp, she's virtually unkillable by any normal means.

You should see a treelord prophet with heroic HP, and gift of health.

In what kind of twisted situation does one prophetize a Treelord, of all things!?
