Unlike previous entries, Heroes 5 uses a prerequisite system. You cannot simply pick any skill at random. Every high-level ability requires a specific chain of "Feats" and "Primary Skills."

The Wizard's ultimate allows them to know every spell in the game. It is arguably the hardest to reach because it requires three different schools of magic. Enlightenment -> Scholar -> Arcane Omnibus. Dungeon: Elemental Overkill

The Heroes of Might and Magic V Skill Wheel remains one of the most ingenious yet complex systems in strategy gaming. Mastering it is the difference between a mediocre hero and an unstoppable force. Version 1.6 brought specific balances that solidified the "ultimate" paths for each faction. The Logic of the Skill Wheel

The 1.6 patch (and the subsequent TotE updates) streamlined how skills interact. In earlier versions, certain ultimates were mathematically impossible to reach in a standard 20-25 level game.
