What's your favourite heroic ability?

[magnate]

I tend to play SC strategies a lot, so I really like to make use of heroic abilities. I reckon there are three distinct classes of heroic ability - here are my thoughts (sorry if this has been done before but I can't find it):

Premier League
1. Quickness - the ultimate, because it stacks with the boots, the jade armour or the spell
2. Toughness - turns any hero from a 10hp weakling to an SC tougher than a dragon, because it's not proportional to starting hp er, except maybe it is, come to think of it
3. Awesome Presence - scales up incredibly quickly and by the time it reaches +10 or more hardly anything can hit you
4. Strength - like toughness, it's not based on original strength so any unit can become a killer without needing AP weapons (so you can still use a lifedrain weapon)

First Division
5. Tough Skin - more prot is always good but it scales up very slowly and doesn't stack arithmetically with armour
6. Iron Will - more MR is always good, especially late game
7. Lightning Reflexes - also scales up really slowly, and defence is not as good as prot for an SC because they get surrounded
8. Battle Prowess - more att is always good
9. Battle Bellow - Fear is good, but not nearly as good as Awe
10. Endurance - although many SCs have 0 enc this is still really good for recovering fatigue after buffs etc., but not really important if you have lifedrain weapons

Vauxhall Conference
11. Valour - scales up nicely but most SCs have high leadership anyway, and don't usually lead armies
12. Undead General - like Valour but without the standard and, er, only useful for undead
13. Precision - occasionally handy on priests when fighting Ermor but otherwise useless
14. Research - how many researchers do you get in the HoF? Handy only if you get it on a mage early on and retire that commander.

Hmmm, I'm sure there are something like 19 heroic abilities, so I've forgotten loads of them. Remind me and I will edit my league.

So, now tell me why you disagree!
