How to use this creature in practice

Stack spellcasting or active support

Cyclops: before activating, compare immediate damage with support or control from its actual ability pool. Choose an eligible target and an opportunity to exploit the effect in subsequent actions.

Watch for: Base stats are not the final exchange result. Account for retaliation, current creature count, target immunity and subsequent action order.

Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan

The Speed category “Medium” belongs to Heroes I. Check order and reach before acting; Skip is not the later Wait command. Plan hero spells from individual cast supplies.

  • Melee attack reaches two hexes in a line. Watch the stack behind the target.
  • 20% attack-triggered chance to apply Paralyze.

Where to obtain and develop this creature

The building unlocks this form. Availability and hiring are separate.

Growth and construction prerequisites (3)

Growth support is not another recruitment site. A prerequisite may unlock one of the recruitment forms.

Reference stack cost and health

These values multiply every resource in the undiscounted reference price and full base health. Hero, equipment, spell, price and growth modifiers are excluded. This is neither final damage or battle survival nor a guarantee that the listed number is available to recruit.

Reading this profile correctly

Speed remains in the original game’s named categories. The hero uses individual spell supplies based on Knowledge; the commander casts at a valid opportunity during a friendly troop action.

Resource costs are part of recruitment. For an entire stack, multiply every component, not just gold. Base growth excludes additional town, map and hero bonuses. Zero shots means no regular ranged attack; the creature can still have spells or other active abilities.
