Offense is a secondary skill that increases all hand-to-hand damage caused by allied creatures in hero's army. Offense increases the base damage by 10%, 20% or 30% depending on the level of the skill. This does not mean that the total damage (final damage) is necessarily increased by the same percentage, as it might also be increased by other factors, such as high Attack skill.
