According to the poll and to some of the arguments attack is the best stat. Does this make Inferno the best faction since their heros get the most attack?

not really. It would if stats were game-deciding, but if u have 1 archdevil on your hero and 5 attack while I have 2 archangels and 4 attack, I still win.
Attack is still the best stat tho

Defense does seem underused - even knowledge (with attack) is used for calculating ballista damage. Maybe defense should be involved in the calculation for healing tents?

The knight heroes are have good defense, so I teachs them attack skill, the demon lords are have very bad defense, so I must teach them defense skill, and I must visit Marletto Tower with them.

Ehm you may find it more to your advantage going mostly def with knights or attack with demonlords.
Take a pick 25 knowledge or 25 att/def?Yes,I thought so!
Btw MY best stat is attack but I usually take what is needed most for a hero,which depends on the faction and hero type.Army strength has a role to play too as with its decrease spellpower gains in value even though there is resistance and limited mana.

Yes, yes, yes, but the knights are have low attack, so take care, they are have got Attack skill and high attack, the demonlords are have low defense, so take care to they are have defense skills and high defend stats. But you MUST take care, the necromancers and warlocks have high knowidle, becuse without more than 1 knowidle, the high spellpower is superfluity.

Well knights have better attack than most and attack(retribution)-leadership combo for +25% damage(not to mention light magic damage boosters) and demonlords use dark magic to weaken enemies or gated stacks to steal retaliations.I believe that when you have defence and get def points mostly you can make the best out of them and same goes for attack.A knight can charge his creatures without fearing losses while dealing adequate damage and a demonlord can depend on hitting hard so as not to get retaliations(luck,dark,leadership can help but getting defence may take the slot of something more desirable)Of course you won't see me get only attack/defence from arenas but I focus on one.
So far I haven't had the choice to get knowledge or power but I'd definitely get some points of knowledge esp for necros and warlocks.Still I get abilities to compensate for that as mark of the necromancer,intelligence,arcane training,secrets of destruction etc.

If confusion worked properly Inferno would do much better, because it limits retaliation. Still, Inferno have highest attack, highest initiative etc... I suppose Haven is better though right?

Quite frankly you rarely get a choice over which stats to focus on.
You are assigned stats at level up and with enlightenment. The map buildings determine what other stats are going up. The only real choices are the arena and then whichever artifacts you put on...again dependent on what artifacts you choose. So it isn't an rpg...you don't get much choice.

@KnightDougal
Well they are both lacking it so given the choice I'd first go for knowledge,at least 3-4,then spellpower.And it's not about winning an argument,it's still a matter of personal taste
@Mith
You speak my language!I will rarely spip luck with a hero and with good reason.I prefer it to leadership and morale plus it gives you the feeling you can win against the odds Add fun factor too and there's a pretty picture!Try to get warlock's luck too,you won't regret it.
Edit:Just in case...I've always been a fan of luck not just in H5 where it got a value increase.

None of them isnīt better than other. Itīs just simply depends on faction and hero which stats are best.
Knowledge may seem to be weaker than others but if you are going to cast spells more than 2-3 rounds you WILL NEED IT. I would say that Knowledge itīs your most important stat at early levels especially for casters which kills creeps by spells. Lets says that we have lvl 1 warlock with 2 spellpower and 1 knowledge. You could choose a bonus: +4 spellpower or +4 knowledge. Which one you would choose: 4x mana or +32 dmg to your eld. arrow?
Spell power of course is more important WHEN you have enough mana(knowledge).
Attack is better for might hero which wants to kill enemy army fast with his own army.
Defense is better for magic hero which wants his army last as long as possible to give hero more time to cast spells.
I didnīt give a vote here

Wrong. You can do more things with high spellpower and lower knowledge, especially if you depend on destructive. Most of the time 10 knowledge is more than enough but then it comes down to what type of magic you use.

Attack for knigth
Defence (or attack,depends) for inferno
Knowledge for necromancer
Spellpower for warlock
Knowledge for academy
attack for dwarf's (seeing their defence is ridicilous high)

well, i meant if its about to choose only one of them, not two or more
but when the numbers are huge ( i mean really huge) destr. won't help
the same for att. when the armies are small
