=== Choosing a good secondary (helper) hero ===

* [[Estates]], [[scholar]] and [[logistics]] are some of the preferred secondary skills for heroes, that are not supposed to be fighting.
* Normally, secondary heroes will have much less experience than main heroes. It is possible that they will learn only a small amount of secondary skills.
* Gold and estates specialists are really good, especially on poor maps. They can provide you with gold, so you can build important building faster and hire new heroes more often. 
* During 4 months, single gold specialist can provide you with 39 200 gold. Enough for 4 capitols or 1 entire week of all creatures from a single town. Leena with Expert Estates can produce about 150 000 gold in the same time.
* Logistics is good, if you need to move new fresh forces from your town to the main hero, fighting several days from your town.
* In need of gems? Crystals? Mercury? Sulfur? Or simply you have many towns and you can trade surplus? There are heroes like [[Rissa]] that can help you out.
* Scholar can help you with three things: Exchanging spells between important heroes, providing other heroes with a spell a different hero starts with (such as [[Alamar]] with [[Resurrection]] or [[Loynis]] with [[Prayer]]) and copying spells obtained from a [[Pandora's Box]] to other heroes (which is otherwise impossible). 
* [[Ballista]] costs as much as a hero. Therefore it's better to recruit a hero with Ballista (such as [[Sir Christian]]) and swap ballista to your main hero. The same applies to [[Cannon]], provided by [[Jeremy]] (which is even more expensive). You can also use [[Rion]], if you need first aid tent in the castle town.

Some of the best secondary heroes: [[Leena]], [[Lord Haart]], [[Octavia]], [[Aine]], [[Rissa]], [[Alamar]], [[Sephinroth]], [[Jeremy]]...

It is up to a player, whether his first hero is a good primary or a good secondary hero.
