If two opposing heroes both have Eagle Eye, the following applies:
* Same level of [[Eagle Eye]]:
** Cancelling each other out, neither hero may learn spells from combat
* {{Ss2|Eagle Eye|Advanced}} (2) vs {{Ss2|Eagle Eye|Basic}} (1):
** 2 - 1 = 1, therefore the hero with Advanced Eagle Eye instead "gains" Basic Eagle Eye, and the hero with Basic Eagle Eye may not learn spells from combat
* {{Ss2|Eagle Eye|Expert}} (3) vs {{Ss2|Eagle Eye|Basic}} (1):
** 3 - 1 = 2, therefore the hero with Expert Eagle Eye instead "gains" Advanced Eagle Eye, and the hero with Basic Eagle Eye may not learn spells from combat
* {{Ss2|Eagle Eye|Expert}} (3) vs {{Ss2|Eagle Eye|Advanced}} (2):
** 3 - 2 = 1, therefore the hero with Expert Eagle Eye instead "gains" Basic Eagle Eye, and the hero with Advanced Eagle Eye may not learn spells from combat

{{fanopinion|
Generally, Eagle Eye is considered one of the least desirable secondary skills, as the preferred ones are those which improve units' strength ([[Archery]], [[Armorer]], [[Offense]]), help in casting spells (various schools of magic), or make gameplay significantly easier ([[Diplomacy]], [[Logistics]], [[Tactics]]). However, it may sometimes help when it's impossible to get a spell from your town's [[Mage Guild]] (e.g. [[Bless]] in [[Inferno]], or [[Curse]] in [[Castle]] and [[Rampart]]) and you are expecting to fight a battle against another player early on in the game, before you capture their town. For that reason, Eagle Eye is compatible with [[Scholar]]. Together with advanced or expert [[Wisdom]], Expert Eagle Eye may be situationally usable for [[Stronghold]] and [[Fortress]] heroes, as their Mage Guilds are limited to 3rd level, and learning [[Resurrection]] and having Advanced [[Earth Magic]] could change the whole dynamics of battle.

Part of the criticism behind Eagle Eye is that even with Expert Eagle Eye and all three of the Eagle Eye artifacts equipped, it still can not guarantee learning a spell used in combat, totalling to a 90% effectiveness rate. Other flaws include requiring the battle to be completed before the spells are added into the spell book (i.e. they won't appear there during the battle which could have been really helpful), inability to learn 5th level spells, and inability to learn adventure map spells.

Problem with skills like eagle eye and learning is also with the limit on how many skills can a hero have. Adding eagle eye or learning will make sure, that some of the important skills will be missing, giving enemies an advantage.
