The herbomancer is the tier 5 creature of the Grove faction. It is recruited from the Shroomwood Shack. The herbomancer can be upgraded into the sporemancer or murmurmancer.
Deep in the woods dwell those who venerate nature in all its forms. Blessed as its stewards, Herbomancers are the envoys of the Mycelium, sent across Jadame to safeguard the natural order. Many seek them to grasp the magical flow of Enroth.OffBck

Tactics[]
Herbomancers are a decent long-reach attacker that can also help with spell casting by lowering mana costs or restoring a small amount of mana to the hero controlling them. Their Swarm of Bees ability can let them damage an enemy at a distance.
Splitting them into multiple stacks can allow Shroomsong to be used multiple times in a battle, but doesn't help with their other abilities.
