Reason is simple: battle skills have a range of 5 squares. Since your Zhar targets Sigrid with his bs and she is 6 squares away he has to move one square forward.

but where this information in game?

on that scheme with dots?

in many battles he is not doing that step, but distance to most many enemies squares is more than on scheme

I think you are wrong. The image of the effect of a ranged skill shows the actual area of ​​​​its effect, but the range of action is not indicated on it.

Either I'm wrong, and there are standard ranges for ranged skills that are not listed in any of the descriptions

[stuck ore]

Nowhere in fact. But that's 100% sure info confirmed in countless arena battles.

It matters what is the distance to his target for battle skill, not other heroes. If there is target in range hero will not move forward.

yup.. its a range issue... you know for some bosses, if you place your range unit too far, they take a step forward... same logic...
just that most of the time, the battle skill and basic attack is targeting the same hero. so there's no need to change the range.
But commonly found in arena, the aoe battle skill targets the backliners while your basic attack skill targets the frontliners.
They don't take a step while doing basic attack but once they need to do the battle skill, they will move forward.

usually the 3x3 aoe is the one being affected... a cross with the 5 tiles across is not

Thanks for your patience. @dark turret

Regarding the issue you asked about Zhar'loth, it has been verified by our relevant team that this is normal. Because Zhar'loth's normal attacks target a single enemy, and he chooses the closest unit to him as the target. When his special skill cooldown is completed, the skill selects enemies in a localized area and prioritizes a 3x3 range that contains the most targets. Zhar'loth's combat skill distance is 5 squares,and if it's more than 5 squares away from the back row, he will move forward.

Hope my answer will be helpful to you. If you still have questions, please feel free to contact me.

I get it, thanks for explainations. I think it should be in skill details for better understanding and closes same questions in future from other gamers.

Actually it would be better to put that in Tutorial fights.
