The hero units belong to all of the previous factions only. The hero units are listed as such: Zeolots ([[Dwarves]]), Knights of Dol Amaroth ([[Men]]), Noldor Warriors ([[Elves]]), [[Black Riders]] ([[Mordor]]), ([[Uruk Death Bringers]] ([[Isengard]]), and Fire Drake Broods ([[Goblins]]). The hero units have a limit of only one to three allowed, depending on which type. Like the heroes, the hero units learn skills at certain levels, although not as many. They can heal like heroes, but if a single member dies, it will not respawn unless you either produce a new one or use the Heal power.
