If a player wishes to do so, they can change their Tier to that of a different race for the same amount of gold as they used to upgrade with. For example, a player with Human Tier 2 can pay 1400g to change to Undead Tier 2. There is no option to downgrade to a lower Tier.

Undead units usually come in large numbers, but they have lower health and more abilities. After Ghouls, all undead units can "Slam" the ground, slowing non-heroes for a few seconds. At the third undead tier, the Skeletal Mages can use Unholy Frenzy to improve their attack speed, but receive more damage at the same time. The Undead's Abombination, which is the fourth tier, has "Disease Cloud" which is a passive spell that damages surrounding enemy units. This is very effective, and will only reduce enemy units health to a minimum of 1. Upgraded undead units can do a lot of damage quickly.

The Night Elves in Footmen Frenzy have the lowest Health Points, but attack quickly and are all ranged. Because of their low health, they are especially vulnerable to Area of Effect spells such as Flamestrike, Rain of Fire, and Blizzard. Aside from Archers, all Night Elf units are given the ability Phase Shift. Whenever they receive damage, they temporarily shift out of existence. During this time, would be attackers shift their targets to something else, thus distributing the damage.

'''Name:''' Archvault<br />

The Archvault is located in the center of the map. It sells consumables such as health and mana potions and Dust of Appearance, which is used to reveal invisible units for a certain amount of time. It also provides mana regeneration.

 

'''Name:''' Weapon Shop<br />

The Weapon Shops are located both on the west and east sides of the battlefield. They sell items that generally assist in providing your hero with better offensive capabilities. Examples include the Claws of Attack, which increase attack damage, and the Orb of Static, which is commonly used to dispel summonable units.

 

'''Name:''' Armor Shop<br />

The Armor Shops are located both on the north and south sides of the battlefield, and sell items that will boost your hero's stats. For example, the Crown of Kings provides +7 to all stats for 1150 gold.

'''Name:''' Personal Shop<br />

Sells miscellaneous items to your heroes. While selling slightly more expensive items than any of the communal shops, the items sold nonetheless prove their usefulness in a variety of circumstances.  

 

'''Name:''' Altar Of Legends<br />

The Altar Of Legends sells quirky and expensive items that are intended for ''very'' situational use. For example, the expensive Altar of the Gods can cast a modified Starfall that instantly destroys all units in an AoE that covers the entire map, and the Talisman of the Gods will summon several Penguins of the Gods that are very effective at attacking units, but are useless against bases.

 

'''Name:''' Creep Shop<br />

The Creep Shop sells 'creeps' to players. As of version 5.0, the customized creeps were removed in favour of the default spellcasting units such as the Sorceress and the Shaman. The purchasing of Creeps is often regarded as essential to victory. They cost ranging from 200 to 450 gold, and can help buff your army or disable your enemies. For an example, a strong Jaood player is easily countered with a Sentry Ward from the Troll Witch Doctor, along with Purge and Cripple from the Shaman and Necromancer. See below for more information about Creeps.

 

'''Name:''' Barks' Store<br />

Bark's Store is a new addition to the personal shops, present since 5.0. Barks Store sells a variety of items, including Town Portal scrolls and free Healing Salves. Healing Salves are the replacement of 'base healing', aimed to reduce the defensive style of play present in 4.2 and previous versions. The first four items are items with a huge boost of +25 for a single stat—the exception being the "Flask of Soda" which provides a +15 boost to all stats. These four items are all very expensive and also grant some smaller bonuses which can help the kind of hero who would buy these items. For example, the "Really Fast Wood", which grants +25 for agility and a small chance to bash and a small chance to evade attacks.

'''Name:''' Priest<br />

'''Cost:''' 200 gold<br />

Priests can cast Heal, Inner Fire, and Dispel Magic. Dispel Magic is a good counter to the Dark Ranger's Ghouls, and well as other summons, such as the Necromancer's Skeletal Warriors, Lava Spawns, and the Beastmaster's summons. Heal is generally used to heal a hero and Inner Fire upgrades a unit's armor and attack. Tactical usage of a Priest against any summoner will quickly earn back the gold spent.  

 

'''Name:''' Sorceress<br />

'''Cost:''' 200 gold<br />

Sorceresses cast Slow, Invisibility, and Polymorph. She is good at disabling other creeps and heroes with Polymorph, and Invisibility is useful for sneak-attacks with a hero. Casting invisibility on a footmen and running behind enemy lines, then using mass teleport to teleport units in is a very effective strategy. Slow can be used repeatedly against an enemy army, or on an enemy hero to prevent it from escaping or attacking effectively.

 

'''Name:''' Troll Witch Doctor<br />

'''Cost:''' 200 gold<br />

Troll Witch Doctors can cast Sentry Ward, Stasis Trap, and Healing Wards. Healing Wards and Stasis Traps are great support spells for your army. They can easily turn the tides of battle in your favor, especially early game. Dropping one or two sentry wards can keep all your footmen and heroes alive. Sentry Wards are great against Jaood, Blademaster, and the Assassin, as well as other units under the effects of invisibility or shadowmeld.

 

'''Name:''' Shaman<br />

'''Cost:''' 300 gold<br />

Shamans can cast Purge, Lightning Shield, and Bloodlust. Purge is great on single summoned units, as well as heroes like Jaood, where you can slow him down ''and'' dispel his Bloodlust. If your still on tier 0 late game, getting a couple of shamans can protect you against the tank token with Purge. You can use Purge against heroes running away, and get an easy hero kill. Lightning Shield can be cast on footmen for farming gold early game, and Bloodlust is a very nice supporting spell for your hero and army.

 

'''Name:''' Demolisher<br />

'''Cost:''' 400 gold<br />

Demolishers deal long-range area of effect damage. Adept at killing footmen, although late game they become less effective. Paired up with a shaman or necromancer makes this unit very effective. When you use Jaood, this creep is a must-have. Casting bloodlust on the demolisher makes it attack very fast, and it is easy to rack up gold.

 

'''Name:''' Banshee<br />

'''Cost:''' 250 gold<br />

Banshees can cast Curse and Anti-Magic Shell. Curse works great on stopping Jaood or Avalanche, as well as other heroes with a strong normal attack. Anti-Magic Shell can protect your hero against spell-casting hero killers such as the Death Knight or Cattle Bruiser.

 

'''Name:''' Necromancer<br />

'''Cost:''' 200 gold<br />

Necromancers can cast Raise Dead, Unholy Frenzy, and Cripple. Raise Dead is a great ability early game to give you extra units in your army. These extra units give you that early game push, allowing you to control the middle and get higher level than other heroes. Unholy Frenzy is a great supporting spell for heroes that can use an attack speed boost, such as the Blademaster. Cripple works great for slowing down a hero that is running away or Agility Heroes that are attacking your hero or creeps.

 

'''Name:''' Druid of the Claw<br />

'''Cost:''' 200 gold<br />

Druid of the Claw can cast Rejuvenation and Roar. Roar is a great support spell for your army—while not as effective as the Scroll of the Beast item, it can be used much more often because its an ability. The only thing you lose is mana. Rejuvenation can heal your hero and creeps very quickly.

 

'''Name:''' Dark Troll Priest<br />

'''Cost:''' 250 gold<br />

Dark Troll Priests can cast Heal and Sleep. Sleep is very useful for disrupting a hero using a strong channeling spell such as Starfall, or Death and Decay. Its short duration, however, makes it usually unsuitable for surrounding heroes with units.

 

'''Name:''' Goblin Zeppelin<br />

'''Cost:''' 450 gold<br />

Goblin Zeppelins are flying, mechanical transports. The Zeppelin is classified as a Mechanical unit, so it can't be hit by spells such as Death Coil. Your hero can also gain experience inside this transport. This is very useful if you have a weak hero and you're afraid of a hero like the Death Knight killing you. It is also very common for players using the Death Sheep to purchase a Zeppelin.

 

'''Name:''' Peasant<br />

'''Cost:''' 300 gold<br />

Peasants can repair your Tier and cast Blink. Peasants can also repair your Demolisher. The Peasant has a lot of health and normal armor. This unit is essential if your building is under attack or is in need of repair.
