In {{hota}} the skill effect was increased from +2 and +3 scouting radius for advanced and expert levels to +3 and +5 respectively.


For this reason, scouting is most useful for scout-type secondary heroes combined with traveling skills  [[logistics]], [[pathfinding]] and [[navigation]].
Scouting specialty was introduced: it increases the scouting range by 1 every 6 levels.
