Cleave is pretty nice. It means he can hit 5 enemies over every 3 turns and still take only 3 retaliations. That's +66% free damage. Cry I agree is kind of meh, but situationally a nice boost on turn 2. Daring can be great with +crit equipment.

Berserker (ability) is cruise control for killing everything. Berserkers (unit) can reach ~90% crit rate as soon as you start the game. Attack will also be insanely high for a T2/3 unit, closer if not greater than a T4/5. Keep in mind that the doubling of crit and attack happens AFTER morale and other boosts, so your +20 attack +10% crit hero is now +40 attack +20% crit for them. Probably some of the highest effective damage per leadership units in the game.

Warrior Maidens are a must have and I get them as soon as I find them. They've got this long distance attack that can pretty much wipe out an entire enemy stack if you have enough of them. They also have a healing ability that is pretty strong. Their attack is decent as well.

High initiative, huge speed, Messenger of the Gods (-10% attack and defense to nearby enemies), Beautiful (30% miss chance to males), 20% resistance to physical, and flat-out high HP/leadership is great as well. Great as tanks, skirmishers to quickly get to enemy archers, you name it.
