Heroes III: Monster vs Monster

[DungeonMaster]

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone knew the monster v monster list for H III. You know the list of monsters and which monsters they own easily. Well if anyone could reply with that, that would be great. Thanks

[DungeonMaster]

Can anybody help me?

Your question is not that simple really.

There has been lots of discussions about "best lvl X creature" around both this forum and others. People doesn't really agree on which ones are the best, so it's difficult to answer your question, especially being that broad.

With 9 towns each having 7 levels (all can be upgraded), that makes a lot of creatures to acount for. If you could narrow your question, maybe more people would answer.

I wasnt really going for best creature i was going more for which creatures defeat which creatures (like monk vs griffin) or w.e just all the creatures and which other monsters they can kill with ease

In most cases, more expensive creature owns less expensive ones (there are quite a number of exceptions but its as good of an answer as any

So heres a list of H3 monster prices for you

Heroes 3 Cost Table (name, gold cost, additional resource cost)

Also take under sonsideration that the ammount of creatures also has a big difference. Fe I managed to defeat 1000 Azure dragons once but I was inable to defeat 500 faerie dragons with the same army (their spells become very powerfull).

[Metal Wolf]

Once I made a test, fighting archangels (who are considered to be the best unit in the game, excluding all of the "special" dragons) with an equal number of ancient behemoths (without any bonuses), and the behemoths won, what makes them imo the strongest unit in the game one on one...
Though the archangel (alongside with the archdevil and some of the dragons) are obviously more useful in battle.

[DaemianLucifer]

In one stack,archangels arent the most powerful creature,thats truen,but when in two or more stacks,theyre unbeatable.

[Banedon]

This is a list I memorized long ago - it does not reflect my own values.

Level 1:

Centaur Captains
Halberdiers
Skeleton Warriors
Gnoll Marauders
Infernal Troglodytes
Hobgoblins
Master Gremlins
Imps

Level 2 (rather hazy though my memory):

Marksmen
Wolf Raiders
Harpy Hags
Obsidian Gargoyles
Battle Dwarves
Magogs
Lizardmen
Zombie

Level 3:

Grand Elves
Royal Griffins
Evil Eyes
Cerberus
Dragonflies
Iron Golems
Orc Chieftains
Wraiths

Level 4:

Crusader
Vampire Lords
Archmagi
Greater Basiliks
Medusa Queens
Silver Pegasi
Ogre Magi
Horned Demons

Level 5:

Minotaur Kings
Power Lich
Thunderbirds
Mighty Gorgons
Master Genies
Zealots
Pit Lords
Dendroid Soldiers

Level 6.

Dread Knights
Champions
Naga Queens
War Unicorns
Efreet Sultans
Cyclops Kings
Manticores
Wyvern Mornarches

Level 7

Archangel
Gold Dragon
Titan
Black Dragon
Archdevil
Ghost Dragon
Ancient Behemoth
Chaos Hydra

Mostly, this should be correct, but it might be wrong in some places. I don't fully agree with it sometimes (Mighty Gorgons clearly are better units than Minotaur Kings, though not necessarily Thunderbirds), but it's a fine list.

[csarmi]

Level 7: 10 vs 10, heroes have 0 attack 0 defense and both sides play to their best

Arch Angels kill everything (behemoths sometimes close fight)
Arch Devils kill everything but Archangel (close fight with Blackies)

Blackies, Behemoths, Titans and and Gold Dragons pretty close to each other

Chaos Hydras
Ghost dragons

[Le_Faucheur]

agree.disadvantage for the behemoth as he is slow and can be blind contrary to blacks/titans/gold dragon.
