Rock Paper Shotgun » Guides✍ Ollie Toms⏱ 61 min read(4 months ago)
Overview & Key Takeaways
Between the six playable factions in Heroes Of Might And Magic: Olden Era, there is a grand total of 126 playable Units (also known as Creatures) to recruit, upgrade, and take into battle. Each faction has seven basic units, ranging from Tier 1 to Tier 7. But each of these Units also has two possible upgrades to choose between.
For example, during your match you might choose to upgrade a basic Temple Swordsman into either a Guard Captain or a Sun's Aegis. Or you might upgrade your Minotaur into either a Minotaur Lord, or a Minotaur Vanguard. Each choice requires you to consider not only the Units' different stats, but also their traits, and their role within your larger army. Picking the right Upgrades becomes essential once you start entering more challenging arenas in Olden Era.
Below, you'll find a full compendium of all 126 Units in Olden Era, including all available Upgrades. You can use the below tables to compare the base unit and its two Upgrade paths, allowing you to make the most considered choice for your army. You can also use the polls below each table to find out which upgrade the community considers to be best in most cases - and you can add your votes into the mix while you're at it!
