Most valuable upgrade
Most valuable upgrade
Of all the H5 upgrades, which is the best? And by this I don't mean what is the most valuable upgraded unit. What I mean is, which upgrade offers the most improvement over the respective standard unit? Opinions, please!

In most of the previous HoMM, it's always been troops that went from non-shooter to shooter. H5 seems to be no exception. The reason however I thought to post this is because I was playing with the Academy last night and it struck me how much better the Rakshasa upgrades (particularly the Rajas) are than the unupgraded Rakshasa Ranis.

I think that one of the most important upgrades is blood maiden to blood fury. you just can't use this units until they are upgraded.
more important upgrades are:
gremlins to MG or saboture- The initiative boost is critical.
colosus to titan- becoming a shooter, obviously.
skeleton to archer- again.
hound to cerebrus, firehound- the no retal is crucial.
The rest of the units are all playable as unupgraded even if they gain significant boost.
The ones I posted above I never take with me before upgrading them

Some creatures I don't bother to upgrade.. or at least, I don't make it a priority.okrane wrote:Well for this question I think we should start thinking about what upgrade is not valuable? The rest surely will be.
For example:
Ghosts and Wraiths

I personally feel that value of an upgrade is primarily determined early game, when resources are scarce and an upgrade is a crucial investment in more efficient creeping. In that perspective, I think the following 4 upgrades are valuable:
1. blood maiden > blood fury. Pretty much all Dungeon needs until getting dragons. Enables player to spend all resources on town development.
2. pixie > sprite. Sylvan's edge in early creeping and all fights against slow walkers.
3. archer > crossbowman/marksman. All Haven needs until getting cavaliers or angels.
4. scout > stalker. Highly exploitable special vs AI, perfect in combination with a spellcasting hero. Backup for when blood fury cannot be used.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
