Showing how to use the hero
When you use youre Hero you will be able to get you're hero from you're fortress, and aswell when you recruit you're hero you will see the image of you're hero which mine is classed as a Wanderer so it will have a display image of a wanderer. Also when you gain you're hero you will not be able to see what power is available at what level, but when you made you're hero you saw all the power's and what level's you got those power's at. Images shown below.
The two images shown above show the Fortress recruitment and also when i actually recuited my custom hero.
What i mainly use my Hero for is for tactic's and stratagie's. Also with my Power's i got when i made my hero, i actually though well about using them and what they did well. I will go through what power's i got and what they are about.
Fire ball:-Launches a fireball from the hero's staff and does a great deal of damage to a single target. Ball of lightning:-Send's a lightning bolt that does a good deal of damage to a single target. Blink:-The hero can teleport to a selected area. Wizard's blast:-Close range attack that blast's back enemies for good damage. Improved Fireball:-Launches a fireball from the hero's staff and does a supurb deal of damage to a single target. Improved Lightning bolt:- Send's a lighning bolt that does a supurb deal of damage to a single unit. Improved Wizard's blast:-Close range attack that blast's back enemied for supurb damage. Mighty Lightning bolt:-Send's a lightning bolt that does a exelent deal of damage. Mighty Fireball:-Lanches a Fireball from the hero's staff and does a exelant deal of damage Word of power:-Send's out a shockwave that kill's surrounding enemies.
I will run through a little mini-guide on how to use those power's and some screenshot's of me using some.
Fireball: The fire ball is for a nice and a very effective blow. It is mostly used for building's but can do a very bad deal of damage against enemy unit's, if you have ever played Saruman in Isengard you will know what the Fireball is like.
Lightning bolt: The lightning bolt is better effective than the fireball, it does a great deal of damage and is mostly used for incoming unit's from siege or from basic unit's. Also used to destroy the balrog in Battle for middle earth 1, if you have ever played as Gandalf in Men of the west you will know how effective it is.
Wizard's blast: The wizard blast is used for blowing back a huge amount of enemies and can be used to push them back from youre attacking line's. Also when fully upgraded (Improvement's throughout the creative stages of power's) the Wizard's blast can take down 4 horde's around you.
Blink: Blink is a good teleportion use and you mainly use it with low health in the middle of the battleground or mainly were you are fighting, also when you use it, it does take some time because the hero taunt's surrounding unit's. There is not no improvement's for the power and my best chanses is to use it when needed because it does take some time to work.
Word of power: (Soon to be updated.) Word of power is a really powerfull and effective power, any unit's flanking you and coming from the back will be totally demollished. There are no upgrade's for this power, and i do not have any screen shot (Because it wasnt working) But i will get some later today, the best time to use this is when you have low health (Down to the yellow) and you are still being attacked, when you use it, it will send out quite a big radius of blue wind and then after it will change direction and it will then 'swipe' out any unit's/creatures around you.
Talking about power's
When you select youre powers when creating the hero you have chosen, choose the power's greatly and dont choose them stupidly, as i mean by stupidly, dont get a 'Train allies' as because that only raises the level of one batalon of unit's and isnt really effective. Also if you can see in previous screenshot that i have chosen nice and really effective power's. Maybe after this guide i would like to see some of other member's created hero's and power's (In screenshot's F12 for a screenshot) I will know run down the list of all the power's and who they mush belong to.

I made this because i would then let new member's inspiring them to use this new feature added to Battle for middle earth 2,
I have always wanted to write this guide and now that i had the time i wrote it, took me 2 days to get all the information wrote down and all the screen shot's.
I think this is a really nice guide and now i know that there is bug's in it (Thanks to Ranger08 and Userfran4729) I will keep it in mind for me making a new guide with fuller information about more Battle for middle earth 2 feature's.
But thank you everybody that has actually looked into this guide and given there comment's.
Thank you all, .aidey

great guide, great that u didnt put a sentence on how to glitch heros since many people always ask, but they just ruin the game. CAHs are a great idea just badly executed in some areas

Also when you gain you're hero you will not be able to see what power is available at what level, but when you made you're hero you saw all the power's and what level's you got those power's at. Images shown below.
The two images shown above show the Fortress recruitment and also when i actually recuited my custom hero.
What i mainly use my Hero for is for tactic's and stratagie's. Also with my Power's i got when i made my hero, i actually though well about using them and what they did well. I will go through what power's i got and what they are about.

Word of power:-Send's out a shockwave that kill's surrounding enemies.
I will run through a little mini-guide on how to use those power's and some screenshot's of me using some.
The fire ball is for a nice and a very effective blow. It is mostly used for building's but can do a very bad deal of damage against enemy unit's, if you have ever played Saruman in Isengard you will know what the Fireball is like.
Lightning bolt:
The lightning bolt is better effective than the fireball, it does a great deal of damage and is mostly used for incoming unit's from siege or from basic unit's. Also used to destroy the balrog in Battle for middle earth 1, if you have ever played as Gandalf in Men of the west you will know how effective it is.
The wizard blast is used for blowing back a huge amount of enemies and can be used to push them back from youre attacking line's. Also when fully upgraded (Improvement's throughout the creative stages of power's) the Wizard's blast can take down 4 horde's around you.
Blink is a good teleportion use and you mainly use it with low health in the middle of the battleground or mainly were you are fighting, also when you use it, it does take some time because the hero taunt's surrounding unit's. There is not no improvement's for the power and my best chanses is to use it when needed because it does take some time to work.
Word of power: (Soon to be updated.)
Word of power is a really powerfull and effective power, any unit's flanking you and coming from the back will be totally demollished. There are no upgrade's for this power, and i do not have any screen shot (Because it wasnt working) But i will get some later today, the best time to use this is when you have low health (Down to the yellow) and you are still being attacked, when you use it, it will send out quite a big radius of blue wind and then after it will change direction and it will then 'swipe' out any unit's/creatures around you.
When you select youre powers when creating the hero you have chosen, choose the power's greatly and dont choose them stupidly, as i mean by stupidly, dont get a 'Train allies' as because that only raises the level of one batalon of unit's and isnt really effective.
