Need to fix one or more of these possible problems with the user commentary text: |
For a magically-oriented hero, Sorcery is a good supporting skill. It makes little effect on basic level and/or with low spell power, but on expert level Sorcery does a good job for a strong magician. It's a good idea to start with a hero whose specialty is Sorcery; for example, Malekith is possibly the best hero for Dragogeddon since he is basing in Dungeon and therefore Armageddon and Black Dragons are both at his service (Rampart's Alagar is also capable for Dragogeddon using Gold Dragons, but Armageddon isn't available in Rampart). However, if a hero is more a warrior than a magician, and will probably never get superior spell power and knowledge, possibly it's better to concentrate on something else, as e.g. Wisdom and Earth Magic are more universal.
