* This does not mean that Armorer is worse than Offense or Archery until the mentioned levels. To preserve army hit points is a very important goal and Armorer does exactly this. 15% damage reduction can also be seen as 17.6% HP increase.

* These are all great skills. While Archery is more situational (probably especially useful for Towers [[Titan]]s), Armorer is universally useful and Offense will significantly benefit basically any army as well. For might heroes these skills are very important while magic heroes might not have enough secondary skill slots to learn them. Also, their chance to learn these skills is generally lower. | * These are all great skills.
