Hero effect on ally

So does my hero affect reinforcing troops in the same village?

Or does it affect only my troops?

Def bonus: Points put into this ability increase the defence value of your whole army (means all own troops defending - the village where they come from is unimportant) by 0.2% per point (maximum of 20%) This bonus only applies if the hero is defending with the army. Other defending troops which are not under your control, will remain unaffected by this bonus

The defense bonus affects all of your own troops that are in the same village as your hero as LAUS stated.

The items (i.e. weapons), however, only work for troops from the hero's home village, staying with the hero.
