'''Offense''' is a [[secondary skill]] that increases all [[hand-to-hand]] [[damage]] caused by allied creatures in hero's army. As opposed to slightly misleading in-game skill description Offense increases the ''base damage'' by 10%, 20% or 30% depending on the level of the skill. This does not mean that the total damage (final damage) is necessarily increased by the same percentage, as it might also be increased by other factors, such as high [[Primary skill#Attack skill|Attack skill]] - compare [[Damage#Damage calculation of creature stacks|damage formula]].
