'''Hero specialty''' is a characteristic of every hero that typically improves their performance in [[combat]]. Specialties can be categorized into five primary types (i.e. [[secondary skill]]s, [[spell]]s, [[creature]]s, [[war machine]] and [[Hero_specialty#Production_specialties|production]]).
Specialties are beneficial effects that are present in every hero. Some specialties are not unique to a specific hero, an example is [[Dessa]], [[Gunnar]], and [[Kyrre]], all three of them have the specialty of [[Logistics]].


== Secondary skill specialties ==
== Calculation ==
Specialties of [[Sorcery]], [[Logistics]], [[Offense]], and the like have similar effects, that is, a 5% per level increase to the skills's percentage.
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)


=== Common Secondary skill specialties ===
----
Common secondary skill specialties increase the secondary skill by 5% per level. The formula for the calculation is as follows:
Example: Level 20 [[Crag Hack]] with Expert Offense.
<!--
----
<code><big> A &times; (0.05 &times; B + 1)</big></code>
!-->
{| style="background: transparent; font-size: 125%;"
|<pre>FORMULA:  A x (0,05 x B + 1) = BONUS


  where  A = Secondary skill's effect percentage
.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.
          B = Level of the hero
 
EXAMPLE:  A = 30%
          B = 20
         
          30% x (0,05 x 20 + 1) =
          30% x (1 + 1)        = 60%</pre>
|} From the example above we can see, that a level 20 hero who has 30% ability due their secondary skill (e.g. [[Crag Hack]] with expert [[Offense]]) would actually gain +60% in total.

== Spell specialties ==
All heroes who specialize in a spell start with it.
 
=== Common spell specialty ===
The normal/common spell specialty increases the efficiency of the spell (after spell power and base spell effect is calculated) by 3% per level, divided by target creature's level. It can be visualised with the following formula: C*(1+0.03 * ''L'' / ''n'') , where ''n'' is the creature's level, ''L'' is the hero's level and C is the base effect of the spell (including spell power and the appropriate magic skill's effects).

== Creature specialties ==
There are five types of creature specialties: Fixed stat creature specialties, creature upgrade specialties, Dragons specialty, standard creature specialties and creature ability specialties{{-wh}}.
 
Heroes who specialize in level 1-2 creatures (as well as {{Hn|Gelu|0=}}, {{Hn|Dracon|0=}}, {{Hn|Tark|0=}}{{-wh}} and {{Hn|Frederick|0=}}{{-wh}}) have their entire starting army consisting of 3 stacks of the creatures they specialize in.
 
Heroes who specialize in level 3 creatures (as well as {{Hn|Bron|0=}}, {{Hn|Illor|0=}}{{-wh}} and {{Hn|Todd|0=}}{{-wh}}) have their specialized creature stack in their starting army instead of 2nd level creatures.
 
Creature specialties apply to both upgraded and unupgraded units. The only exception to this is {{Hn|Catherine|0=}} (in {{sod}}{{-ws}}), who only specializes in {{Cn|Crusader}}s and not {{Cn|Swordsman|Swordsmen}} (this was fixed in {{hota}}{{-wh}}).
 
=== Fixed stat creature specialties ===
These specialties are only present in banned-by-default campaign heroes and [[Planeswalker]]s. Fixed stat creature specialties provide a fixed bonus to attack, defense, damage, and/or speed, regardless of hero level.

=== Creature-upgrade specialties ===
These specialties are only present in banned-by-default campaign heroes. Creature-upgrade specialties allow the hero to upgrade specific creatures into the creature they specialize in, as long as they are placed in their army. The cost is equal to the difference in costs between the owned creature and the "upgrade".

=== Dragons specialty ===
This specialty is only present in the banned-by-default campaign heroes: {{Hn|Mutare|0=}} {{withmaped}} and {{Hn|Mutare Drake|0=}} {{withmaped}}. It provides 5 Attack and 5 Defense to all [[Dragon]]s, including both their upgraded and unupgraded forms.
 
=== Standard creature specialties ===
Standard creature specialties, regardless of hero level, provide +1 speed to the creatures they specialize in. This bonus applies outside of combat and can therefore increase hero's [[Movement]]. They also apply +5% Attack and +5% Defense bonuses every ''n'' levels obtained after ''n''th level, where ''n'' is the level of the creature they specialize in. Thus heroes who specialize in level 1 creatures double their Attack and Defense at level 21; heroes who specialize in level 2 creature at level 42, those who specialize in level 3 creatures at level 63, etc.

== Production specialties ==
Some heroes' specialties increase a kingdom's daily income of gold or [[Magical Resource|magical resources]]. No hero produces the resource needed to recruit the level 7 creature of their native town. These specialties do not improve with the hero's level, and thus their usefulness may decrease over the course of the game as the impact of other specialties becomes greater.
 
This effect remains in place even when the hero in question is garrisoned in a town and no longer counts towards the limit of 8 adventuring heroes. As hiring a hero only costs 2500 gold, this way of collecting magical resources may, depending on the situation, be preferable to building [[resource silo|resource silos]] for the cost of 5000 gold and 5 ore.
