Heroes of Might and Magic IV[edit | hide]
Cyra survived The Reckoning and appeared as a hero on Axeoth.
"Cyra originally learned magic to cast a spell on the man she loved, but he turned out to be different from what she expected. She has abandoned silly practices such as concocting love potions, and now seriously pursues her art. Unfortunately, Cyra still has not found someone to love." --Biography
User Commentary
This specialty is especially useful in early game. With Expert Haste, Cyra's Master Gremlins will be faster than any creature below level 7 (and be tied with the Dragon Fly and the Efreet Sultan). This means at least two shots without distance penalty which can reduce losses significantly. Haste also make slow and defensive units like stone golem better in attacking and controling the more important hexes on the battlefield.
As Haste is one of the most useful spells, starting with it along with the ability to boost low-level creatures (which tend to have lower speed) further, makes her a powerful starting hero.
