Haven Renegades Intro
A group of devout followers that have managed to distance themselves from the mainstream Haven alignment by staying true to their original beliefs, known as the Renegades, have managed to hone their attacking capabilities while compromising their defensive ones. The formation of the Renegades sees a few common names return from previous series, such as Crossbowman and Zealot, and also the birth of a Life-Draining level 7 creature.
How to read this page
Most of the elements describing the creature should be quite familiar. However, if they're not, here's what you should know:
  • The Attributes panel presents the creature's attack, defense and such. Position your mouse over an element to display the tooltip if you're not familiar with the icon.
  • The Economics panel shows the cost of the unit, and its weekly growth rate.
  • Move your mouse over the abilities to show the description popup.
  • Casters have a spellbook: it opens as a popup to show the creature's spells. The little icon  next to the spell name represents the creature's mastery of that spell, ranked from None to Expert. Click on a spell to go to the corresponding spell page.
  • The Experience value is the amount of experience your hero will gain when killing one creature of that type.
  • The Power Rating is a global indicator of the creature power. It allows you to roughly compare different creatures, even if, of course, there's no such thing as a unique strategy and power ladder in Heroes 5!!
Haven Renegades - Level 1 Upgrade

Sometimes it takes a bit of brutality to accomplish what must be done -- or so the Enforcers believe. Rugged troops of the new Griffin regime, they don't hesitate to slam down their opponents with a Shield Bash.

TaxpayerEvery day the hero gets as many units of gold as there are creatures with this ability in all their armies and castles.. BashAt every attack creature has a chance to stun the enemy so they won't be able to retaliate and lose initiative (mechanical creatures are not affected).When stunned, the target's ATB value is reset to 0..

Haven Renegades Analysis (by ThE_HyDrA)
Walker: 3
Shooter: 2
Flyer: 2
Spellcaster/-: 1

Total Orientation: Undoubtedly attack-minded creatures, characterised by their large damage-ranges and attack-friendly abilities and statistics. Luck and en-masse Bless spells are the hero's most useful tools, where the low initiative of some units must be compensated for. The spread is the same as that of Haven, and, but for some small deficiencies, the Renegade line-up is generally superior.
This information comes from the Heroes V release version (v2.1).
