Comments & debate
Though not the worst, Artillery is one of the most useless secondary skills in the game. Even with a hero who specializes in Artillery, has Archery, and high Attack skill, the damage of the Ballista stays in couple of hundreds. Additionally, Ballista acts last at the combat round and has health of 250, which makes is possible to destroy even before it shoots the first round. Perhaps the most valuable feature is the control over arrow towers, which can be of use during sieges.
