Hero specialty is a trait of a hero, which typically improves hero's performance in combat. Specialties can be categorized into four types: spells, creatures, secondary skills and productions. Production specialties do not affect in combat, but generates resources (except wood and ore) for the kingdom. Most of the specialties are unique, but there is also shared specialties. For example, offence is a specialty of Crag Hack and Gundula.

Armageddon's Blade and Shadow of Death expansions introduced Adrienne, Draco, Gelu and Sir Mullich, who have specialties that can not be categorized into any of the four above mentioned. Adrienne's specialty is fire magic, which is a secondary skill, but it only allows her to start with with expert fire magic. Draco has enchanters and Gelu has sharpshooters as a specialty. The exception for both of them is, that Draco can "upgrade" mages/arch mages and monks/zealots to enchanters, and respectively Gelu can upgrade archers/marksmen and wood elves/Grand elf/grand elves to sharpshooters. Sir Mullichs has speed as a specialty, which increases combat speed for creatures under his command by +2.

Creature specialties

Production specialties

Secondary skill specialties

Calculation

Specialties of Sorcery, Logistics, Offense, and the like have similar effects. They all increase the skill by a 5% per level. To calculate for this type of specialty, you must get 5% of the secondary skill's effect and multiply it to the hero's level, then add to the skill's effect.

Formula = (.05*Secondary skill's effect percentage*Hero level+Secondary skill's effect percentage)

Example: Level 20 Crag Hack with Expert Offense.

.05*30*20+30 = 60, thus Crag Hack's army will deal 60% more damage. That means that he has gained a 30% increase to his Offense skill. It also means that he gained 30% more offense than any other character, aside from Gundula would have.

Spell specialties

Bless

Bless is the specialty of Adela. It causes bless to be cast with increased effect, based on hero level compared to the level of the target unit (the bonus is greater when used on weaker units). Adela's bless specialty increases the damage of a unit using the following equation:

base damage * 0.03 * hero level / unit level

This extra damage is in addition to the bless spell. For example, at level 18 Adela will provide a 54% damage bonus to halberdiers, 27% to marksmen, 18% to royal griffins, 13.5% to crusaders, 10.8% to zealots, 9% to champions, and 7.1% to archangels.
