Academy - Heroes and specializations | Sylvan - Buildings Heroes VII Guide
Last update: 25 April 2017
When playing as Academy during skirmishes or multiplayer games, at the start you can pick one of twelve different heroes. Each of them has different special ability. However, in general, all of them are related to recruiting additional units or to strengthening one of the magic schools.
Yasir, who delivers 350 pieces of gold per day to you, seems to be the best choice. Such amount of gold is great help at the beginning of the match, when you don't have a developed city or many mines. Second good choice is Masfar. He allows you to recruit few additional units which will definitely be useful at the beginning of the game.
