How to use this creature in practice

Melee strikes limiting the reply

Sprite can change the contact point across obstacles. Choose a free reachable landing position that threatens an important target without exposing friendly shooters.

Watch for: Limiting retaliation during your attack does not cancel the enemy’s next turn. Check the specific trait, area responses and ending position.

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.

  • Flying creature; can cross obstacles while moving.
  • Its melee attack prevents enemy retaliation.

Reference ↗

Where to obtain and develop this creature

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

Growth and construction prerequisites (2)

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.
