Gameplay

Perseus is really good against myth units, just like any other hero. Since he’s a Greek hero, he’s also pretty strong against regular units too, even though his attack is the weakest out of all the Greek heroes. But his special ability makes up for that.
His special attack lets him use Medusa’s head to turn enemy units into stone, causing 300 damage. This attack is best used if you focus it on the strongest myth units like Fafnir, or Colossus in the enemy’s army.
