Which class in "Heroes of Might and Might 3" is the most like "Xiaoqiang"?The first reaction of many players must be the phoenix of the elemental clan, this unit will not only "resurrect" the magic skill, it can't be killed in the battle, and the cost of its recruitment is ridiculously cheap, only 2000 gold coins plus 1 mercury, which can be called the most affordable level 7 soldier.
Extremely proud of the actual combat ability
At first glance, the basic attributes of Firebird and Phoenix are very average, but in fact, their combat ability should not be underestimated. First of all, the production of the phoenix is more than that of ordinary level 7 soldiers, up to 2 per week, and it has the special skill of "fire attack", just like the "dragon breath" of the black dragon, it can directly kill and damage enemies in a straight line of 2 squares when attacking. As for the speed of the Firebird and the Phoenix, it is even faster than lightning, the Firebird has a speed of 15 points, and the speed of the Phoenix is as high as 21 points, and it is not a problem to fly diagonally diagonally on the battlefield. However, such a powerful unit has a fairly cheap cost, the recruitment cost of the Firebird is 1500 gold, and for 2100 oceans, a phoenix can be carried home. Among the top classes of the 9 races, it is probably impossible to find a more affordable unit than it.
Due to the Phoenix's speed similar to that of the "Flash", it is common for players to take it to the first place in battle, and then run away with a spell. Even in a real battle, some players will split a phoenix when there is a spare unit slot, so that they can take the lead in the battle and induce the opposing main class.
Near-invincible resurrection stunts
And the reason why players dare to play like this is mainly because of the "resurrection" ability that Phoenix has. As we all know, there is a 20% chance that a Phoenix unit will respawn after it is completely killed, and this rebirth mechanism is very particular. After more than 20 game tests, it was found that the probability of the phoenix's "resurrection" taking effect, and the number of respawns were positively correlated with the number of original troops. When there are only 1-4 phoenixes, none of them may be reborn if they are killed, and there will be only 1 at most if they are reborn. When there are 6-9 phoenixes, there will be a maximum of 3 phoenixes, the most common being 2, and in rare cases only 1 will be resurrected. If there are 10, 2 will be resurrected. When there are 11-14 phoenixes, they will resurrect up to 4, usually 3 and a few will regenerate 2. If there are 15 phoenixes, about 3 will be reborn. It can be seen that this result is extremely consistent with the probability, and it is rare for the probability of respawn to exceed 20%.
Completely ignores any fire-based magic
In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, the Firebird and the Phoenix are not affected by fire-based magic, which means that the Slaughter Attribute is completely useless to them, and units with the addition of "Slaughter Nature" will naturally lose the +8 Attack Damage buff when attacking the Phoenix. This ability to slaughter ignores the effects of the Orb of Destruction, and is useless no matter how high the opposing fire magic level is. However, even though the Firebird and Phoenix appear to be made of flames in appearance, and the description states that they ignore fire magic, they do not have "physiological immunity" to fire magic other than "slaughter", meaning that the Doom Ball can erase their immunity to other fire spells. Of course, there are also fire elementals and fire elementals covered in fire, fire spirits and fire spirits, as well as the level 6 soldier "magic element" of Elemental City.
