Haven (H6)

For the faction in other games, see Haven.

"Born in the sacred Light of Elrath, sworn to spread it all over Ashan."

Haven is a faction in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. It is composed of humans and their allies in the Holy Empire, selected by the angels to worship Elrath, dragon god of Light. Their objective is to lead a life worthy of Elrath's ideals of Truth and Purity to shape the world in his image and to spread his sacred light.

Lore[]

The Empire has now existed for over 400 years. A new blood moon and its accompanying demon invasion is expected. With their faith in Elrath and with the help of the angels, the Haven populace is eager to demonstrate its superiority to all other factions for the first time in history, by brilliantly and courageously shining in the upcoming battles. Their empire is ready to take its place as the Legitimate defenders of Ashan.

Tactics[]

Haven is masters of defense and healing, so in early games where one only has access to the core creatures, one should stay on the defense. Let the enemy come by crossing the battlefield, under constant fire from the marksmen, and then finish them off with the sentinels before the enemy can reach the shooters. If the sentinels took damage, heal them with sisters. Avoid fighting ranged dwellings, because that will force slow moving creatures on the offensive. Wait until more mobile and offensive creatures can be recruited.

Defender, Charismatic Leader, Assailant and Destiny's Chosen will improve the whole Haven army. Reinforcements make sure that that key units like praetorians and marksmen never are undersized. Heroism will give a chance for a larger damage blow and faster loading of Guardian Angel. Counterstrike will increase the defensive capabilities even more.

Haven's natural magic school is Light, and it contains many good choices - Celestial Armor, Heal, Retribution Aura and Blindness. Burning Determination and Inner Fire are excellent choices from Fire magic. Some spells like Dispel Magic, Arcane Exaltation, Haste and Time Statis are good spells to pick as well from Prime magic.
