Based on this strategy, there is a better faction that can snowball even harder. Most of Lament's heroes have devour and dragonking, but the Lament faction can recruit Gold Drakes and turn them into Red Dragons and turn Upgrade the Red Dragons into Black Dragons (100 power), THE strongest in the game. So basically, you can get more dragons and make them even stronger that you can devour.
Honestly, Lament isn't better at this strat. Yes, Lament cities have the Altar of Dragons to turn gold dragons into red dragons into black dragons, but the Altar only gives one dragon every two weeks, and their heroes with Dragonking and Devour (only two of six, by the way, not "most") have the skills toward the bottom of their skill trees, which makes them very slow to level because the player has to level a path down to them. Spiff most likely chose Gunvor because Gunvor has both of those skills right up near the top, making it way easier to powerlevel those skills and snowball into an abomination. (Plus, all the player needs to do is conquer a Lament city, or convert a city they own to Lament, and then they have the effect of Altar of Dragons without needing to start as a Lament hero.)
Most strongest strat is going delerium faction upgrading the mage character so that you get mind control (takes over enemy permanent) than unlock the potent variant so you have 2 mindcontrols. You can take over a whole enemy army for a bit of mana and if there is a arcane town nearby you claimed you have infinite mana so you can legit NEVER lose no matter how big the enemy is since you just spam that shit and take over their whole army.
@@Sussyimposter046 love playing like this; it’s even better if you grab potent army of giants so you can mind control entire armies and then immediately turn them into kaijus
This gets even better when you realize there's a faction leader with this skill combo... Who can also mass produce red dragons AND evolve them into even more powerful black dragons, who then give even more stats. It's even an achievement iirc.
Yeah, this video was fun, but I don't consider this an exploit so I wasn't impressed at all- this is just standard gameplay on harder difficulties, because the AI blatantly cheats as a built in feature of the game, and the player has to get creative with the cheese. The developer put the red dragon skill and the devour skill on tier 2 right next to each other. There is no way they don't know exactly how overpowered and ridiculous red dragons+devour is, it seems clear to me that they're encouraging the player to do it. A lot of skill combinations are horrifically overpowered in Hero's Hour, and I personally believe that's supposed to be part of the fun/appeal of the game. As previously mentioned, the AI cheats, so you really do need the overpowered skills/spells to win.
I can just imagine the enemy heroes atop their horses overlooking the fight, eyes wide and staring at Gunvor casually snacking on his own dragons in the middle of the battlefield to the absolute horror of all their units, while Gunvor's army is just shrugging it away like "ey bois, here come the steroids!" All except that one time when the enemy hero looked at the OP dragon, pulled a reverse UNO card out of her arse and went "I'll be taking that"
@@danielawesome36i think it's because his voice doesn't have the stereotypical british voice and you'd never think I was Australian because I don't have the stereotypical Australian accent... apparently us Australians being actors is another stereotype. I didn't know.
The thought of getting your ass kicked by an army and then having that army's general eat the most powerful unit in the army whole while the battle is still technically going on is terrifying.
I've found the arcane mage faction to be hilariously op as well, as they are able to get magic power boosts from their minions to make their spells more powerful. Now if you happened to have a spell that summons copies of your minions, those copies will also make their spells more powerful... including how many copies are summoned by your spells.
The game is basically built for you to exploit the hell out of it, even something as tame as the Plunder skill gets really dumb at higher levels because every random trash fight starts dropping strong gear or loads of cashmoney.
@@Jokoko2828 I used delirium to get the biggest army completely from doing nothing but magic, to the point game started to get too stuck for active fighting, eventually getting destroyed by getting wiped from one spell. Really wasn’t that long rebuilding though from just summoning some stuff to retrieve the horde once more!!! Don’t remember how I managed it but holy shit it was worth the effort!!! 😂
I know I’m late, but if you have a Delirium avatar at a captured arcane town with ziggurat, you can just dump all your spellpower wherever and then just regain it immediately after, since mana crosses over.
"This is an impossible challenge, however I'm an impossible being to balance" So this is what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force
But which is which in this situation? I'd say spiff is yes and the game is one. Spiff is all. He's a master exploiter. If there is an exploit in a game. HE WILL FIND IT.
1:15 As an American I can confirm. I’ve eaten so much beef that I have bull’s horns on my head, and my muscles are thrice their expected size. It’s why cows are our main choice of meat, and our steaks are never fully cooked; pure, unfiltered power.
I love how Gunvore is basically just having a quality meal in the middle of each battle and became god because of it. It's like if you drank some tea and became a god of destruction, which I honestly think you have been capable of for years.
There are so many crazy builds in this game, I loved doing them all. Dragon eater is the most insane build you can have, it takes just a bit to get going.
I like a Delirium hero with Elemental creation and toxicology. You can reach 8 lvl of a hero on the first day of the first week, beating impossible lvl.
@@prdprdprdprdprdel well, breakfast tea is the same as normal tea. Tea comes in many brands and is down to preference.

I wanna see this madman get his hands on the new Dwarf Fortress coming in a few days. How he finds these exploits baffles me but I love to watch the chaos every time.
About halfway through the video, Spiff's pure Britishness breaks in and causes him to inadvertently become a stereotypical caricature. Spiff: "Let's go Guvnor..." Me: * chuckles in chimneysweep *
My favorite dwarf strat is still just using the dude who starts with clone and miner mastery in combination with the skeleton rune, because clone doesn't just work on your units, it also works on the skeletons your units summon every time they hit someone due to the skeleton rune, so you just drown people in armies of cheap, infinite trash.
Thanks for introducing me to Hero's Hour! I've been really loving it. It's refreshing to see a game which is balanced around "who can snowball the fastest", and I mean that sincerely.
One of my most memorable runs in this game involved creating such an absurdly powerful wizard general that I’d send them into battle alone, only to proceed to summon vast armies of elementals to smother my foes. My computer could not handle it
a tip to get the best start: hire two extra commanders and give their units to your main commander and just get them to scout and then after some scouting get them to camp near a resource to increase resource gather, a 2nd tip which took me a very long time to find out, you can upgrade the gates that you control to make the defenses stronger on them
@@johnyounoe6219 it isn't using more than one commander as i said you use them to scout for a turn or two then camp them and not use them further as they are gaining more resource
but long term if you don't eventually get more commanders you will be continually running back to castles you have to retake them back form the enemy, what i do is just keep a commander in each section i have a castle in and run them around there fighting the mobs within the borders so they are there if the castle is likely to be attacked but i still just use the main commander for everything else, they are just castle defense and leveling off of mobs in area
Nice to see you covering this game, it took the philosophy of Heroes 3 (beat broken bullshit with broken bullshit) and turned it up to eleven. My playstyle, was just overwhelming enemies with summons as Arcane, because all mana spent on them, could be brought back as mana, Spellpower or xp, so I could summon even more.
Battle clowns made me instantly think of worthikids “the wire” animation. Never seen such bad ass tactical clowns before. The undead have nightmares thinking of them
I think that one of the best combo is having lament friend/enemy neighbour whose castle in chaos fights manage to conquer and then after upgrading you might get gold dragon each few weeks oke ... but it enables you to upgrade your golden AND *RED DRAGONS into BLACK DRAGONS* !!! -> +20power and it stacks even better with high hero stats by about +25% and ... its free upgrade in battle !!! with devouring black dragon you even get Achievement !!! -> even better devouring and faster stats snowballing !!
Honestly, this reminds me of some games that thought ahead and limit the stats to say 100 at most... glad they didn't do that. loved the video, but made me wanna play Kenshi throughout almost all of it tbh, prob cause you can do similar.
I have watched countless videos and I have been waiting for so long just to hear a simple "nice" whenever something with 69 comes up. Thank you veeeery much, you made my entire day!
Blood Shaping and Devour works together great too. You get free upgrades to your units and then eat the top tier ones that are dying. You can essentially sustain daily Devours.
Looks like the bonus is based on how much health/attack the unit has and by increasing it with devour the bonus you get gets bigger. This spirals out of control. I'm excited to see how this will end
I'm personally a big fan of the media (manga, anime, webcomic etc) whether isekai or not, where the main character starts out horrifically underpowered compared to the basically impossible challenge they are facing, then by virtue of either literal game mechanics or simply game-like growth mechanics are able to become something completely unfathmable and unparrallelled even in the ridiculous context of their stories. With this in mind, coupled with similar concepts being a large amount of the content Spiff puts out, I can't help but want to watch an ongoing story of one of those ridiculous situations with Spiff suddenly as the main character, wherein he uses obscure concept overlaps or similarly unnoticed 'exploits' to single handedly become a god of some inhospitable wasteland of a dark fiction world in which no one else can manage more than just surviving. I imagine the media would totally rate, and you can be sure I would watch/read it.
With the recent overhaul of the game, the Devour strategy has been axed. Not it only gives you temporary stat-ups and adds some buffs for the battle. But there is a new godly and exploitable skill: Creativity. When a hero with Creativity wins a battle, you can sacrifice some of the gained XP to...gain a new skill. Which can be ANY skill, even one that character doesn't normally have access to. Once you level it up a bit, you just need to win a few battle to start stacking every single skill in the game on that character and become unstoppable.
If you think the devour ability is crazy, then you haven’t found the tower which allows you to sacrifice troops for permanent knowledge and spellpower, one summon spell fills the battle map completely
As an American I can also summon dragons out of thin air. This is a defense mechanism developed during the Revolutionary War when it was realized that most wizards left England to support the revolution and were willing to teach Dragonmancy.
Beautiful to see lmao I’m hanging out now for the next Skyrim video. Someday you need to return to Fallout 4, with a party girl perk run and drinking several different types of alcohol. I understand that the luck bonus stacks with each different type - I wonder how far you can break things LMAO
Having played this game, I can confidently say that there are better options. While you do get dragons fairly frequently with this strategy, Pyre's third hero can snowball far quicker and more efficiently. He comes pre-packed with multiple methods of summoning units for free, the ability to promote them to their strongest forms (including a zombie dragon) for free, and early access to devour and Creativity, which grants one of several random skills for the cost of small amounts of experience- including the skill the gets you red dragons. You can devour for upwards of 15-20 stats every day without putting any sort of noticeable drain on your army, as it'll replenish itself almost immediately after battle.

In this case the unstoppable force IS the immovable object.
The AI is an impossible object because the keep on spawning in impossibly powerful armies from nothing and moving impossibly long distances

Most of Lament's heroes have devour and dragonking, but the Lament faction can recruit Gold Drakes and turn them into Red Dragons and turn Upgrade the Red Dragons into Black Dragons (100 power), THE strongest in the game.

This reminds me of when Maple ate the hydra in Bofuri and became the most broken shield-loli in the history of anime.

I laugh so hard XD
This one is a good run! Thanks Brit! You are awesome dude!
With the recent overhaul of the game, the Devour strategy has been axed. Not it only gives you temporary stat-ups and adds some buffs for the battle.
But there is a new godly and exploitable skill: Creativity. When a hero with Creativity wins a battle, you can sacrifice some of the gained XP to...gain a new skill. Which can be ANY skill, even one that character doesn't normally have access to. Once you level it up a bit, you just need to win a few battle to start stacking every single skill in the game on that character and become unstoppable.
If you think the devour ability is crazy, then you haven’t found the tower which allows you to sacrifice troops for permanent knowledge and spellpower, one summon spell fills the battle map completely
As an American I can also summon dragons out of thin air.
This is a defense mechanism developed during the Revolutionary War when it was realized that most wizards left England to support the revolution and were willing to teach Dragonmancy.
Beautiful to see lmao
I’m hanging out now for the next Skyrim video.
Someday you need to return to Fallout 4, with a party girl perk run and drinking several different types of alcohol. I understand that the luck bonus stacks with each different type - I wonder how far you can break things LMAO
love your videos, just felt the need to come down here to Specifically compliment the way you divide the video up into small chapters. king shit
Having played this game, I can confidently say that there are better options. While you do get dragons fairly frequently with this strategy, Pyre's third hero can snowball far quicker and more efficiently. He comes pre-packed with multiple methods of summoning units for free, the ability to promote them to their strongest forms (including a zombie dragon) for free, and early access to devour and Creativity, which grants one of several random skills for the cost of small amounts of experience- including the skill the gets you red dragons. You can devour for upwards of 15-20 stats every day without putting any sort of noticeable drain on your army, as it'll replenish itself almost immediately after battle.
