Heroes 5 Skill Wheel: 16 ((install))
It sounds like you're referring to Heroes of Might and Magic V (HoMM5) and a skill wheel — likely for the Tribes of the East (TotE) expansion, which has 16 skills (the base game had fewer). A "skill wheel" is a tool showing which secondary skills lead to which advanced/ultimate abilities, including prerequisites.
- Expanded Skill Set – 16 primary skills, carefully integrated into the original framework without breaking faction identity.
- Reworked Ability Trees – Every skill now has more meaningful choices at Expert and Ultimate levels. No more “dead” abilities.
- Balanced RNG – Skill probabilities adjusted so each faction/town has clearer strengths, but off-class builds remain possible.
- New & Restored Abilities – Brings back cut abilities from earlier HoMM games (e.g., Interference, First Aid) in a balanced way.
- Visual Skill Wheel – Includes a redesigned in-game wheel UI (or external reference chart) showing all 16 skills and their dependencies.
- Compatible with ToE 3.1 – Works with standard Tribes of the East, plus select mods (e.g., 5.5 RC).
The Combat Enhancers (Luck, Offense, Defense, Attack)
- Luck (B-Tier): Double damage chance. Unpredictable but powerful. Pairs well with Luck artifacts.
- Offense (S-Tier): A flat percentage increase to melee damage. Mandatory for Knights, Warriors, and Rangers.
- Defense (S-Tier): Reduces all incoming damage. Scales incredibly well into the late game.
- Attack (C-Tier): Increases hero's attack rating for physical strikes. Weak compared to flat damage from Offense.
- Their faction (Haven, Necropolis, Inferno, etc.).
- Their class (Knight, Wizard, Warlock, etc.).
- The skills they already have.
Use the tool to plan your hero’s development, because simply picking strong skills early can block you from reaching the ultimate ability later. Focus on Masteries: heroes 5 skill wheel 16
