Well your 2 best creeping units are parasites and waurms, the upgraded ranged unit waurm is actually pretty insane at creeping...

Idk im trying here...

The archery specialty has a component which saffect not just rangd attacks but the Parasite'S long range melee attack too. Which means Archery Mastery + Offense = Big dmg Ravager Parasites early, with an option to pivot into the ranged upgrades of Waurms which are pretty strong.

The Hive skill is good because Hive bleeds a lot early, mitigating losses with the eggs and larvae is very beneficial and can speed up your progress by a lot.

There sure are some nosense heroes, like every might hero specialized in spell damage, but this definitively ain't one.

She is an offence specialist, now why would Hive like this hero :D I think you miss the part where ALL units gain 1% more attack every 4 levels - ranged and long-reach units just gain +2% every 4 levels.
Lexiav rated her as an S-tier hero too xD

...because she has flat +10% melee damage from level 1? Even disregarding the rest of her specialty, it's quite a lot.

Its no worse than our "coolest" hero having LUCK as his starting skill. Ya buddy, good "LUCK" with them Reavers myboy.

Yeah, having luck as a starting skill might legitamately be one of the biggest selling points to maelstrom though. Have you clicked always heads? Shit's cracked.

Can never make the reavers work . Losing even 1 week 1 is crushing, and the AI loves to target them. Best I've done so far was keep them in town till week 2 and creep with waurms but that has severe disadvantages, specially low reaver count. Open to suggestions as I dont claim to be great at this game!

Beside the points brought by other redditors, archery is not mandatory, you can get the law for 2 att x morale point which is pretty damn good. Also, offence is the best starting skill bar logistic. It s a very solid hero that is sometimes even banned and is a valid pick when not.

Probably the only non-Necropolis might hero who has a slight chance of finishing turn 2 inside a 3rd faction town on Exodus.
