This ensures the flexibility of the system, as in longer games even Absolute Chains can be learnt. When counting these secondary abilitiesвЂ™ pre-requisites, there are another eleven abilities needed, making 14 abilities in total required for Absolute Chains. For example, in order to learn the Dungeon-specific ability, Absolute Chains, the abilities of War MachinesвЂ™ Last Aid, LuckвЂ™s Grail Vision, and LearningвЂ™s Academy Award are needed. These abilities, generally in the upper-end, require pre-requisites to be able to learn them, with these requirements not necessarily coming from the same skill line. Skills do not have Secondary Skills as there were in Heroes IV, instead, there are anywhere between 3-5 abilities that are classed under a certain skill. The Heroes V system is a much more dynamic one, giving the hero a choice from 2 skills and 2 abilities. However, this is one of the few likenesses to the Heroes III skill system. The skill levels will also revert back to a Heroes III guise, disregarding the two new levels of Master and Grandmaster introduced by Heroes IV. In addition to the Primary Skills, there are also Morale, Luck and Mana, which can be improved in different ways by varying abilities. The main 4 returning: Offense, Defense, Spell Power and Knowledge. Information confirmed by various gameplay videos has confirmed that at least the Primary skills will work in a similar fashion to Heroes III.
