Heroes 6 Weekly Quiz! ~Special Round Coming Up!~
Older members may remember TDL's successful H5 Weekly Quiz, a game of tricky questions to challenge the participants' knowledge, memory and creativity. The time has come for another round, with myself and War_Overlord running the game. So what's this about?
Once per week, you will be provided with 10 questions where correct answers will earn a number of points according to how fully each question was covered. Those points will be added to each participant's total and the top players will be rewarded at the end of the season. But to ensure a smooth run of the game, some rules must be set!
THE RULES!
- Be wary as you are allowed only one answer per question! Once you have posted your reply you may not edit your post nor make another post that adds to the same question.
- Think fast! Do not go through the previous people's answers, just make your reply and hope that you are the first to give the correct answer or a fuller answer than the previous ones! First answer gets +1 bonus.
- It is possible that some of you will post simultaneously. Should you post within 2-3 mins of the previous one and both answers are correct, both are likely to receive the points. Depending on the situation, it will be discussed by me and War_Overlord so that we may find the best solution.
- I strongly insist that you use your knowledge rather than going through the manual or other sources of documentation. Rely on your own devices!
- The round will last for two days at most. Answers beyond that point will not be accepted.
- Each correct answer will receive 1-4 points but breaking the rules will give you penalties! A more detailed explanation of the rating system:
- 4 points to the first, fully correct answer.
- 3 pts to subsequent fully correct answers & the first acceptable one.
- 2 pts for subsequent acceptable answers.
- 1 pt for answers that are correct but not the answer to the question & additions to already answered questions.
An acceptable question is one that meets more than 50% of the answer.
A fully correct answer is one that covers over 70-80%.
RATINGS
Avonu - 212pts
Seddy - 187.5pts
Polyglot - 178.5pts
Dave Jame - 161pts
Simpelicity - 140pts
Gnomes - 80pts
Minion - 45pts
Miru - 25pts
Wanizame - 18pts
Lexxan - 16pts

Hey there, peoples. Just popping my head round the metaphorical door to add a little something to the discussion.
Though Elvin will be doing most of the work here, it's true that I'm in on this plot. I will help Elvin referee this quiz, take over when he's not available, but most importantly I am responsible for the lore questions. It should be noted that I expect the answers to elaborated. Not just a "yes" or a "no", but "yes, because X, Y & Z". Do it, for your elaboration can make or break the correctness of your answer.

Just for the lulz, I'll have a go.
- Which Heroes are demonstrably older than 400 years? Hint, H6 is set 400 years prior to the events of H5.
Those who complain the most loudly about the good old days? I know Raelag turns up at the end, so he's definitely old.
- Why can Orcs on the Savage Islands not send a letter to Orcs in Ranaar?
Because they can't spell, and they would have nothing to say to them anyway. Also, postmen are unavailable.
- What is a simple and effective way to take down a kenshi stack fast? Consider that your hero is of high level with access to all spells and your army size is not great. Lightning spells/attacks do not count.
Frenzy the opponent's nearby power stack, preferably Kirins.
- What is the difference between the dreamwalker's earth part of his sky and earth ability and the agony spell?
Shot in the dark: Creatures don't have nightmares because of Agony?
- In what way is monsoon different from the water spells of the skill system?
A monsoon is a wind, and the mongoose isn't!... Err... I mean a, Monsoon is class-specific, b, it applies the Air special effect instead of the Water one.(Victims don't get Soaked)
- Two abilities that maximize the goblin hunter's vicious strike potential.
Heroism, Heroic Charge?
- Which area of effect passive or active abilities do the necro units have? Weaver's DoD, Freezing Web, Skeleton Something's icky goo, Lich's dark goo thing, Lamasu's Dogbreath, Ghost's Wail, Necromancy 4
- How can a unit end up soaking wet?
By standing in the rain, of course! Some water spells also have this effect I think, but the fact that there are no available umbrellas in the game tells us volumes about the inhuman conditions soldiers must endure.
- How many units have undergone a gender operation since H5?
None, because H6 is actually a prequel to H5.
- Two units, each the other's worst enemy. They attack each other with the passion of a titan striking a black dragon! Almost.
Naga Queens attack Pit Lords, Lords retaliate. NQs have the challenge thing, while Lords have hateful retaliation. So, plenty of passion on both sides. Only a Succubus catfight can top even them: Not only are they bitter rivals by nature, but they both have Rapture in Agony or whatever
I'm not good at this whole lore thing, sorry

- Which Heroes are demonstrably older than 400 years? Hint, H6 is set 400 years prior to the events of H5.
Hmm, I'd say Raelag (since he appears at the end). But also Findan I think appeared... Biara obviously, as she's in both games, serving as a guide/nemesis.
- What is a simple and effective way to take down a kenshi stack fast? Consider that your hero is of high level with access to all spells and your army size is not great. Lightning spells/attacks do not count.
If it's against AI, I'd summon an elemental in front of it and blast aważ with damage spells (or Retribution on the elemental). I usually use Light elementals (very nice retaliation)when fighting against neutrals.
- What is the difference between the dreamwalker's earth part of his sky and earth ability and the agony spell?
Dreamwalkers ability also lowers initiative of the target I think.
- In what way is monsoon different from the water spells of the skill system?
Monsoon does not chill (like most water spells), but soak enemies. And it also deals AIR damage (lighting clouds power!) which makes good use of the debuff.
- Which area of effect passive or active abilities do the necro units have?
Spectres have the reduced healing effect (death seal) aura, upgraded Skeletons have the splashing slow (webbing spears), All three abilities of the lamasu/putrid lamasu (passive aura, active ability and spread of the upgrade), And our dear lady spider can actively freeze enemies around her or poison them, depending on her form.
- How can a unit end up soaking wet?
By being the target of an attack by a creature with the soak ability, like spring spirits for example.
- How many units have undergone a gender operation since H5?
Hmm, monks = priestesses. Angels seem to have turned female (while just being feminimine in Heroes 5)... Centaurs got boobs, Maybe shamans turned into dreamwalkers... So 4?
- Two units, each the other's worst enemy. They attack each other with the passion of a titan striking a black dragon! Almost.
Um, you mean like a juggernaut (taunt and a demon) vs a jaguar warrior?

These which are by times of HV: Kha-Beleth, Xana, Kaspar, Ludmilla, Lorhish, Veyer, Nebiros, Deleb, Jezebeth, Lucretia and Giovanni from second DLC.
And in HVI: Sarah, Jorgen and Mukao (Faceless), Ishtvan (and his ghost), Tynan and Lamia
Quote:

They send but did you seen their spelling? None postman will ever know where is Rraaan.

Time Stasis all the way but also Puppet Master and Power of Horde for Barbarian Blood hero.
Quote:

Dreamwalker ability also reduces movement.
Quote:

Monsoon does Air Damage.

Flawless Assault + Ice Bolt (Time Stasis in theory also should works)

Skeleton - Webbing Spears

Lich - Dark Embrance
Lamasu - Aura of Putrescence
Namtaru - Freezing Web, Dance of Decay
Quote:

It fights during storm or was throwed away from ship. 
Quote:

Let me see:
Priest->Sister
Angel->Celestial
Ghost (well, HV's doesn't have boobs )
Centaur
Water Elemental (see Ghost above)
[quote- Two units, each the other's worst enemy. They attack each other with the passion of a titan striking a black dragon! Almost.
I would say Angels and Faceless but none of them is unit.
Actally, there are none.
All elementals recive more damage from opossite element and all demons and undead are vulnerable to light, while only Glories are vulnerable to dark.

Before I begin:
Quote:
Ready, steady, go!
... FMA themesong? What?
ROUND 1!
- Which Heroes are demonstrably older than 400 years? Hint, H6 is set 400 years prior to the events of H5.
Kaspar, the Wizard turned Necromancer because he desired immortality and wished to study the effects of the transformation. Also: Biara the demon guide/ villain, (Other demons: Kah-Beleth, Veyer, Nebiros, Grok and Marbas) and Realag (reveal right at the end there...)
- Why can Orcs on the Savage Islands not send a letter to Orcs in Ranaar?
They don't really know/ care about the other orcs. Besides, they are sort of busy with their own problems at the moment, what with the humans invading their lands and all.
- What is a simple and effective way to take down a kenshi stack fast? Consider that your hero is of high level with access to all spells and your army size is not great. Lightning spells/attacks do not count.
With Inferno: Powerful, single target destructive spells and debuffs (Terror, Confusion) and multiple stacks of lillim (for multiple lucky strikes so that you can gate in distracting/ damaging forces). Also, your creatures all basically deal rather allot of damage. To lower losses, you can force the challenge ability of the Kenshi on a high HP/ durability stack (Most likely your Demented or Lacerators) and then move your Ravagers into position to taunt them.
With Stronghold: IDK, I haven't played as them... ever. (Seriously... I should get on that.)
With Haven: Glories, Crossbowmen, Griffons (for battle dive) Reinforcements and Retribution Aura should be able to take them down relatively quickly with few or no losses.
With Sanctuary: Range spam all the way. The air spell that enchants a ranged unit with air damage could be helpful on either of your shooters, though the vast majority of your attack power will come from the Priestesses. The Kapa's leap should be rather effective, and you can always respond to a challenge with your own challenge... Kenshi can be countered by themselves, if you want. Frost Armor and Retribution aura could be helpful in this fight, if your foe actually manages to get to you, as can mass Stone Skin and Divine armor (? I think that's what it's called? IDK though, been a while since I played haven/ sanctuary. The light spell that absorbs damage.)
With Necropolis: Terror, Disruption, Implosion, Agony, Blindness and just ranging the hell out of the buggers can provide a very quick victory, and your Vampires and Banshee's Shriek can add even more damage, while giving your creatures a nice buffer against all the damage the Kenshi can deal.
- What is the difference between the dreamwalker's earth part of his sky and earth ability and the agony spell?
Well, one is a creature ability and deals Earth damage, and the other is a hero ability and deals Dark damage. Both can be cast on the same target to increase effectiveness.
- Two abilities that maximize the goblin hunter's vicious strike potential.
The top archery ability (IDK what it's called...) and the Storm Bolt ability (Adds air damage to a target ranged stack... IDK if I got the right name on that.  No, I really don't know these skill names...)
- Which area of effect passive or active abilities do the necro units have?
The Lamasu has its aura of Decay, which hits everything around it. The Banshees have their howl, which heals a friendly undead creature and damages everything around it. The litch can make all creatures around its target more susceptible to dark damage and its upgrade has an active ability that allows it to heal all ally undead creatures every time it deals damage to something. The Ghoul has its rotting flesh ability, which lowers basically everything but health for all adjacent living creatures (if I remember right...)
- How can a unit end up soaking wet?
If a water elemental, Spring Spirit or Monsoon hit it in the face. I guess they could also get rained on or take a bath, but that's entirely beside the point.
- How many units have undergone a gender operation since H5?
Priest became the Vessel, Centaur became all Zebra-y and female, Ghosts obtained a definitive gender (female), The water elemental (Gained a gender: Female). So 4.
(And I don't know if it counts since they were not in H5, but the Naga from H3 was female, and its closest counterpart (the four-armed sword slinging Kenshi) is male. So technically 5.)
- Two units, each the other's worst enemy. They attack each other with the passion of a titan striking a black dragon! Almost.
Banshee/ Glory (Weakness to light/ dark)
Litch/ Glory (Weakness to light/ dark)
Fate Weaver/ Glory (Weakness to light/ dark)
Earth elem/ Air elem (Weakness to air/ earth)
Light elem/ Dark elem (Weakness to dark/ light)
Glory/ Dark elem (Weakness to dark/ light)
Priestess/ Priestess (Weakness to air/ air) (Lol at this one, a creature that kills itself.  )

That H5 quiz is what originally made me subscribe to this forum thing
Quote:
- Why can Orcs on the Savage Islands not send a letter to Orcs in Ranaar?
There's no postal service........
- What is a simple and effective way to take down a kenshi stack fast? Consider that your hero is of high level with access to all spells and your army size is not great. Lightning spells/attacks do not count.
Have your hero weaken the kenshi attack power to as close to nothing as possible, and poison them with the dreamwalker poison that triggers every time they do something. They counter everything, and if they do very little dmg, it destroys them more than your stack. Although I'm not convinced it's the best. Does it trigger for every attack of the kensei (when they have multiple attacks)? That'd take it down real fast. Without much dmg done to you ofc, 'cause they're buffed down.
- What is the difference between the dreamwalker's earth part of his sky and earth ability and the agony spell?
Dreamwalkers have movement reduction
- In what way is monsoon different from the water spells of the skill system?
Monsoon is the upgraded ice maiden ability, right? No movement reduction, but damage. Lots of it.
- Which area of effect passive or active abilities do the necro units have?
Do you need the exact name? that'd be hard...
- Up skeletons' movement reduction on impact is AoE.
- The Specter Wail does AoE dmg around the target.
- Lamasu/Putrid lamasus have their plague aura around them.
- The lich/archlich mark of the something or other that increases dark dmg is AoE
- The Fate weavers have an AoE attack around them that does dmg and gets a tick of everything on the ennemies to trigger in one form, in the other she has a kind of time stasis thing that's also AoE around her (webs of time....?)
- How can a unit end up soaking wet?
The tsunami sanctuary ability thing. It's called Tidal wave or something.
- How many units have undergone a gender operation since H5?
Centaurs, dreamwalkers, ghosts, sister/vestals/priests, seraphs (weren't they boys in H5? and now women?). That'd make 5. If gaining an actual gender counts, I'd add water elementals to it. That'd be 6.
- Two units, each the other's worst enemy. They attack each other with the passion of a titan striking a black dragon! Almost.
Seraphs and dark elementals.

Agony can be prevented with defend I think.

Deleb, Grawl/Lorhish, Biara, Xana, Raelag, Nymus..... errr.... i guess that's it? Unless you count Kha-Beleth and all the Demon Lords. Or Sandro.
Quote:

Because Orcs cannot write?
Quote:
- What is the difference between the dreamwalker's earth part of his sky and earth ability and the agony spell?
Sky&Earth works on Undead AND reduces speed AND triggers when a unit moves.
Quote:
- In what way is monsoon different from the water spells of the skill system?
it soaks your opponents, rather than chilling them.
Quote:
- How can a unit end up soaking wet?
Monsoon & Tsunami
Quote:
- How many units have undergone a gender operation since H5?
Ghost, Priest(ess), Shaman/Dreamwalker, Arguably Angel/Celestial (from neuter to male?) and Water Elemental (from Neuter to female?) ... So I guess three... or five, depending on what you look at.
Quote:
- Two units, each the other's worst enemy. They attack each other with the passion of a titan striking a black dragon! Almost.

After some discussion we decided to change the grading system so as to favour speed but not so as to punish late participants.
4 points to the first, fully correct answer.
3 pts to subsequent fully correct answers & the first acceptable one.
2 pts for subsequent acceptable answers.
1 pt for answers that are correct but not the answer to the question & additions to already answered questions.
An acceptable question is one that meets more than 50% of the answer.
A fully correct answer is one that covers over 80%.
@Minion +11 pts
I happened to read your reply before the edit and seeing as no answers were changed, it would be harsh to give a penalty. But a warning to all, the next time this happens I might have no way to verify your claim and I will have no other choice but to penalize.
- Summoning fire elementals in front of them and casting Retribution.
That wouldn't be fast enough. +1.
- Agony doesn't reduce speed.
Incomplete.
Monsoon can be cast only once.
- Not anymore
- Skeletons Webbing Spear, Ghosts "healing/damaging" ability, Liches dark embrace, Lamasus aura that lowers HP,
First acceptable +3
- Monsoon and Tsunami
First acceptable +3
- 1 (ghost)
Incomplete.
- Light and Darkness Elementals
First full +4!
@Polyglot +12
(+2 Overlord)
- Those who complain the most loudly about the good old days? I know Raelag turns up at the end, so he's definitely old.
Incomplete.
- Because they can't spell, and they would have nothing to say to them anyway. Also, postmen are unavailable.
Not quite Up to War_Overlord.
- Frenzy the opponent's nearby power stack, preferably Kirins.
I didn't mention other stacks. +1pt.
- Shot in the dark: Creatures don't have nightmares because of Agony?
A creative approach even if not what I had in mind +1pt.
- A monsoon is a wind, and the mongoose isn't!... Err... I mean a, Monsoon is class-specific, b, it applies the Air special effect instead of the Water one.(Victims don't get Soaked)
Actually they do but it is acceptable. +2pts.
- Heroism, Heroic Charge?
Nah, better.
- Weaver's DoD, Freezing Web, Skeleton Something's icky goo, Lich's dark goo thing, Lamasu's Dogbreath, Ghost's Wail, Necromancy 4
First full +4.
- By standing in the rain, of course! Some water spells also have this effect I think, but the fact that there are no available umbrellas in the game tells us volumes about the inhuman conditions soldiers must endure.
Scary isn't it? That's a vague answer though.
- None, because H6 is actually a prequel to H5.
Somehow I knew someone would pull this on me. Oh please!
- Naga Queens attack Pit Lords, Lords retaliate. NQs have the challenge thing, while Lords have hateful retaliation. So, plenty of passion on both sides. Only a Succubus catfight can top even them: Not only are they bitter rivals by nature, but they both have Rapture in Agony or whatever
Queens?  A succubus catfight rather counts though. +2pts.
@Dave Jame +20 pts
(+4 Overlord)
- Xana, Jezebeth, Lohrish, Realag, Ludmila, Deleb, Kha-Beleth, Vayer, Kasper, Nebiros. (I do not count those that will come in DaMa)
Pending
- Ever tried posting a letter thourgh an entire hostil kingdom?:-P
Probably not an easy task. Overlord pending.
- Earth and sky works on undead
Probably the key difference. First acceptable +3.
- It cuases "Soaked" effect, not "chilled"
Acceptable +2.
- Giant slayer, Flawless assualt
Not the correct answer but there is some truth to it. +1.
- Lamasu Pestilenc, Skeleron Bone web spear, Ghost healing, Lich Dark magic varnability
Acceptable +2.
- Water elemental attack, Mermaid Attack, Tsunami, Mermaid tsunami, Monsun, Water grave
First full +4!
- 5-6
Priest/sister, Ghost/Ghost, Shama/Dream Walker, Centaur/Centaur, *Water elemental/water elemental (From Unknown to female)
First full +4.
- Sister and Ghost
Sister doesn't have a dark vulnerability but it sure sounds close.
@Seddy +13pts.
(+1 Overlord)
- Hmm, I'd say Raelag (since he appears at the end). But also Findan I think appeared... Biara obviously, as she's in both games, serving as a guide/nemesis.
The latter two did not appear in H6. Pending.
- If it's against AI, I'd summon an elemental in front of it and blast aważ with damage spells (or Retribution on the elemental). I usually use Light elementals (very nice retaliation)when fighting against neutrals.
I mentioned lightning spells as a hint that direct destructive is not the best way. +1.
- Dreamwalkers ability also lowers initiative of the target I think.
Afaik only the sky part affects initiative.
- Monsoon does not chill (like most water spells), but soak enemies. And it also deals AIR damage (lighting clouds power!) which makes good use of the debuff.
First full +4.
- Spectres have the reduced healing effect (death seal) aura, upgraded Skeletons have the splashing slow (webbing spears), All three abilities of the lamasu/putrid lamasu (passive aura, active ability and spread of the upgrade), And our dear lady spider can actively freeze enemies around her or poison them, depending on her form.
Full +3.
- By being the target of an attack by a creature with the soak ability, like spring spirits for example.
Acceptable +2.
- Hmm, monks = priestesses. Angels seem to have turned female (while just being feminimine in Heroes 5)... Centaurs got boobs, Maybe shamans turned into dreamwalkers... So 4?
Angels were and still are genderless. +2.
- Um, you mean like a juggernaut (taunt and a demon) vs a jaguar warrior?
No but thematically they might be.
@Avonu +24pts
(+4 Overlord)
- These which are by times of HV: Kha-Beleth, Xana, Kaspar, Ludmilla, Lorhish, Veyer, Nebiros, Deleb, Jezebeth, Lucretia and Giovanni from second DLC.
And in HVI: Sarah, Jorgen and Mukao (Faceless), Ishtvan (and his ghost), Tynan and Lamia
Pending.
- They send but did you seen their spelling? None postman will ever know where is Rraaan.
Heheh Pending.
- Time Stasis all the way but also Puppet Master and Power of Horde for Barbarian Blood hero.
A better approach. First acceptable +3.
- Dreamwalker ability also reduces movement.
Acceptable +2.
- Monsoon does Air Damage.
Acceptable +2.
- Two abilities that maximize the goblin hunter's vicious strike potential.
Flawless Assault + Ice Bolt (Time Stasis in theory also should works)
Bingo! Icebolt renders opponents immobile to the goblins' delight. First full +4!
- Skeleton - Webbing Spears
Ghost - Wail of the Netherworld
Lich - Dark Embrance
Lamasu - Aura of Putrescence
Namtaru - Freezing Web, Dance of Decay
Full +3.
- It fights during storm or was throwed away from ship.
Heheh
- Let me see:
Priest->Sister
Angel->Celestial
Ghost (well, HV's doesn't have boobs )
Centaur
Water Elemental (see Ghost above)
Full +3.
- I would say Angels and Faceless but none of them is unit.
Actally, there are none.
All elementals recive more damage from opossite element and all demons and undead are vulnerable to light, while only Glories are vulnerable to dark.
Yes it was not meant as a clear cut match but mentioning the elemental opposition is good enough for me. My answer was light(or glories) vs dark elementals as they play in pretty much the same way and have a weakness against the other. Full +3.
@Gnomes +20pts
(+3 Overlord)
- Kaspar, the Wizard turned Necromancer because he desired immortality and wished to study the effects of the transformation. Also: Biara the demon guide/ villain, (Other demons: Kah-Beleth, Veyer, Nebiros, Grok and Marbas) and Realag (reveal right at the end there...)
I'd say full but pending overlord.
- They don't really know/ care about the other orcs. Besides, they are sort of busy with their own problems at the moment, what with the humans invading their lands and all.
Pending
- With Inferno: Powerful, single target destructive spells and debuffs (Terror, Confusion) and multiple stacks of lillim (for multiple lucky strikes so that you can gate in distracting/ damaging forces). Also, your creatures all basically deal rather allot of damage. To lower losses, you can force the challenge ability of the Kenshi on a high HP/ durability stack (Most likely your Demented or Lacerators) and then move your Ravagers into position to taunt them.
With Stronghold: IDK, I haven't played as them... ever. (Seriously... I should get on that.)
With Haven: Glories, Crossbowmen, Griffons (for battle dive) Reinforcements and Retribution Aura should be able to take them down relatively quickly with few or no losses.
With Sanctuary: Range spam all the way. The air spell that enchants a ranged unit with air damage could be helpful on either of your shooters, though the vast majority of your attack power will come from the Priestesses. The Kapa's leap should be rather effective, and you can always respond to a challenge with your own challenge... Kenshi can be countered by themselves, if you want. Frost Armor and Retribution aura could be helpful in this fight, if your foe actually manages to get to you, as can mass Stone Skin and Divine armor (? I think that's what it's called? IDK though, been a while since I played haven/ sanctuary. The light spell that absorbs damage.)
With Necropolis: Terror, Disruption, Implosion, Agony, Blindness and just ranging the hell out of the buggers can provide a very quick victory, and your Vampires and Banshee's Shriek can add even more damage, while giving your creatures a nice buffer against all the damage the Kenshi can deal.
YOU ARE NOT GONNA MAKE ME READ ALL THIS! TAKE +3 AND GTFO!
- Well, one is a creature ability and deals Earth damage, and the other is a hero ability and deals Dark damage. Both can be cast on the same target to increase effectiveness.
Acceptable +2.
- The top archery ability (IDK what it's called...) and the Storm Bolt ability (Adds air damage to a target ranged stack... IDK if I got the right name on that. No, I really don't know these skill names...)
Not tackling the issue directly but acceptable. +2.
- The Lamasu has its aura of Decay, which hits everything around it. The Banshees have their howl, which heals a friendly undead creature and damages everything around it. The litch can make all creatures around its target more susceptible to dark damage and its upgrade has an active ability that allows it to heal all ally undead creatures every time it deals damage to something. The Ghoul has its rotting flesh ability, which lowers basically everything but health for all adjacent living creatures (if I remember right...)
The latter no but acceptable +2.
- If a water elemental, Spring Spirit or Monsoon hit it in the face. I guess they could also get rained on or take a bath, but that's entirely beside the point.
Full +3.
- Priest became the Vessel, Centaur became all Zebra-y and female, Ghosts obtained a definitive gender (female), The water elemental (Gained a gender: Female). So 4.
(And I don't know if it counts since they were not in H5, but the Naga from H3 was female, and its closest counterpart (the four-armed sword slinging Kenshi) is male. So technically 5.)
Acceptable +2.
- Two units, each the other's worst enemy. They attack each other with the passion of a titan striking a black dragon! Almost.
Banshee/ Glory (Weakness to light/ dark)
Litch/ Glory (Weakness to light/ dark)
Fate Weaver/ Glory (Weakness to light/ dark)
Earth elem/ Air elem (Weakness to air/ earth)
Light elem/ Dark elem (Weakness to dark/ light)
Glory/ Dark elem (Weakness to dark/ light)
Priestess/ Priestess (Weakness to air/ air) (Lol at this one, a creature that kills itself. )
Full +3.
@ Simpelicity +11pts
(+0 Overlord)
- There's no postal service........
Doubt it but pending!
- Have your hero weaken the kenshi attack power to as close to nothing as possible, and poison them with the dreamwalker poison that triggers every time they do something. They counter everything, and if they do very little dmg, it destroys them more than your stack. Although I'm not convinced it's the best. Does it trigger for every attack of the kensei (when they have multiple attacks)? That'd take it down real fast. Without much dmg done to you ofc, 'cause they're buffed down.
Bingo, that is the mechanism I was looking for. Better with decay, they cannot stop retaliating and it destroys them a little more each time they do. First full +4.
- Dreamwalkers have movement reduction
Too obvious
- Monsoon is the upgraded ice maiden ability, right? No movement reduction, but damage. Lots of it.
No but technically you are correct. +1.
- Do you need the exact name? that'd be hard...
- Up skeletons' movement reduction on impact is AoE.
- The Specter Wail does AoE dmg around the target.
- Lamasu/Putrid lamasus have their plague aura around them.
- The lich/archlich mark of the something or other that increases dark dmg is AoE
- The Fate weavers have an AoE attack around them that does dmg and gets a tick of everything on the ennemies to trigger in one form, in the other she has a kind of time stasis thing that's also AoE around her (webs of time....?)
Full +3.
- The tsunami sanctuary ability thing. It's called Tidal wave or something.
Incomplete I'm afraid.
- Centaurs, dreamwalkers, ghosts, sister/vestals/priests, seraphs (weren't they boys in H5? and now women?). That'd make 5. If gaining an actual gender counts, I'd add water elementals to it. That'd be 6.
Full +3.
- Seraphs and dark elementals.
Not quite, the seraphs do not deal light damage.
@Miru +6pts.
- No way could I get this whole list off the top of my head.
Should've tried for a few.
- I admit it, I haven't done the orc campaigns.
Not entirely required, it's something you can figure out.
- Time Stasis?
Not enough by its own.
- Agony can be prevented with defend I think.
Both can.
- Monsoon? What? I looked it up, I haven't played sanctuary blood.
- IDK
- Ghost heal, Lamasu putrid cloud, Namtaru dance of decay.
Acceptable +2.
- IDK
- Cleric, Ghost, Centaur.
Acceptable +2.
- Aside from the elementals? Snow maidens / Breeders or Succibi? Ghoul / Sun Rider?
Elementals are good enough, the others not as much. +2.
@Lexxan +16pts
(+3 Overlord)
- Deleb, Grawl/Lorhish, Biara, Xana, Raelag, Nymus..... errr.... i guess that's it? Unless you count Kha-Beleth and all the Demon Lords. Or Sandro.
Up to Overlord
- Because Orcs cannot write?
They can
- Sky&Earth works on Undead AND reduces speed AND triggers when a unit moves.
Full though the latter is true for both +3.
- it soaks your opponents, rather than chilling them.
Acceptable +2
- Monsoon & Tsunami
+2.
- Ghost, Priest(ess), Shaman/Dreamwalker, Arguably Angel/Celestial (from neuter to male?) and Water Elemental (from Neuter to female?) ... So I guess three... or five, depending on what you look at.
Full +3.
- Light/Darkness elementals
Full +3
Good job guys, it took me a while to go through all those The next round is due next Friday, for now we await for War_Overlord!
