How to Lionin – Pillar – Hardcore+ – Hero’s Hour
Introduction
Welcome to the second Hardcore+ Hero’s Hour Guide with Pillars Lionin. Lionin’s Talentree looks like we would like to concentrate on getting some Blood Dragons going. So we are getting make use of Union, Legion and Combat to not lose units and use our Experience gain to get some Red Dragons with Dragonking 😉
How to
Gives the hero dragonblood points based on the experience points they gain in battle – more per rank. Once 100 dragonblood points have been collected it is exchanged for a Red Dragon.
Dragonking
What a great talent! Free Red Dragons sounds amazing. So we do want to fight as much as possible. In order to do that we need to conserve troops. If we lose to many, we cannot fight anymore to gain experience points. Lionin starts with the Union talent. The hero will grant part of its life to a unit that is going to die. This will be huge for our dragon plan. So the stronger our hero, the more units we can safe.

Hero’s Hour – Game Sheet
Hero’s Hour is an Hommage to Heroes of Might and Magic but as an Auto-Battler 😉 I played HOMM3 for hours with a friend and it was great! So with Hero’s Hour you choose a faction, build up your city, recruit units and go conquer the world with your heroes. Battles will happen automatically. You can still order a bit and cast magic. Just played a small test to check it out, now I already have 3 runs done. It is that good!
