: A printable version is often included in the Heroes V Fan Manual , which covers the specific ability requirements for every faction.
Expert players recommend mapping out your entire build before you begin leveling. This ensures you don't accidentally "block" your path to an ultimate ability by picking a fourth skill that isn't part of the required sequence.
: Many versions are included in the game files under a "FanDocuments" folder in the Tribes of the East directory.
