The Mightiest of Heroes

[Moonknight]

What is the highest level hero you've commanded in battle? I have a couple of 16's right now...

Also, how high have people ever raised a hero's 'Critical Stack'? I've been exploring this option, but haven't really seen any difference in action yet.

MoonKnight,

A couple of times I have reached L15 but by the time I did the game was over anyway and it was just mop up duty left. Never gotten past L12 or so in a competitive game because my games tend to end early.

Critical Stack is going to take till at least 20% to see any real effect. Even at 20% you'll still only average 1 kill for 5 units in your stack. Only really has value on defense when you have 20+ men in a city.

16 for me too Moonknight.

I experimented with critical stack..and if you bother to raise it, you had best invest heavily. Not too sure if it is really worth it (if you compare it to -1 or command), but it is fairly effective once you start getting into the 30% range.

Thanks guys, is there a cap to either Critical Stack or Critical Strike? If it hits 100, doesn't that mean no one can beat the hero (or it's stack if somehow you could level up that high)?

It wouldn't be that hard to get to 100 critical strike...

I do believe critical strike only works once per battle....stack critical strike works once per battle per unit.

I currently have a hero with 65% critical strike and 9 strength...he has personally killed 20-30 units at this point...getting a bit ridiculous really. I doubt this conan-ish behavior is really worthwhile, since he is always just a few bad rolls away from death...fun though.
