Hero (Total War Saga: Troy)

This article is a stub. You can help the Total War Wiki by expanding it.

In Total War Saga: Troy Heroes are the general's army. Every Army needs a Hero, as leader and every army may only have one Hero. To fight with more Heroes, they have to move close to each other, so they appear as reinforcements.

The faction Leaders are called Epic Heroes. They get a few bonuses, have a unique skill tree and lack Motivation.

Normal Heroes come in four different classes, though any faction may only recruit three of them as defined by the faction.

Heroes are quite powerful units and most normal army units loose a one on one battle against a Hero unit.

Hero Classes

• Warlords: Focus on own skills to boost your faction.

1. Commander - Specialises in supporting allied units, granting them bonuses in battle
2. Warmonger - Focus their skills on aggression, limited on defensive options
3. Mentor - Has a variety of skills that support army at the campaign, instead of on battlefield ^{weak on the battlefield.}

• Fighters: Are specialised in causing direct damage to the enemy at close range. They are also effective at negating heroes influence on the battlefield

1. Champion - Well-rounded fighters with a good balance of defensive and offensive skills
2. Ravager - Expert at disrupting enemy formation, such breaking the enemy's frontline
3. Vanquisher - An offensive fighter with little defensive ability, on the other hand high damage output

• Defenders: Focus on supporting friendly units by mitigating enemy damage and neutralising rival heroes

1. Protector - Purely defensive, has limited mobility, but can sustain significant damage
2. Companion - A mobile, can support a great number of friendly troops
3. Veteran - Defensive, but can protect friendly troops by harassing enemies and drawing their attacks away

• Archers: Specialise in dealing damage at distance, and avoiding melee engagements.

1. Skirmisher - Ranged hero focuses on causing damage at distance ^{they are especially vulnerable at melee}
2. Trickster - Expert at harassing enemy units from afar, evading retaliation thanks to their high mobility

Motivation

Motivation is a stat that every Hero except for Epic Hero faction leaders has. It ranges from -10 to 10 and influences how well the character performs.

There is no desertion in Troy, even at -10 motivation Heroes will continue to lead their factions army. It might be the better choice to replace them with another Hero instead.

Equipment

Heros may again gain different Ancillaries, each being able to equip one armour, one weapon, one mount and five accessories.

Items may be swapped around between Heros. Removal of items is instantaneous, putting them on takes effect the next turn.

Traits

Heros may gain a quite huge number of traits. Most descriptions include a short note on the circumstances under which they can be aquired, though this is a game of chance.

Trivia

• In cases where part of an army survives a battle, but the commanding Hero dies, the controlling faction is forced to recruit a new hero immediately.
