- This article is about the creature from Heroes of Might and Magic V. For other uses, see champion.
The champion is the alternate upgrade of the Cavalier, the sixth-level creature of the Haven town, in Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East.

It has higher damage and lower defense than the paladin, and the Champion Charge lets it do even more damage. It lacks Lay Hands, however, and is not immune to Frenzy, so the potential for damaging friendly creatures exists.
