How to use this creature in practice

Mobile attacks and screening across obstacles

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

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

Read Speed 6 under Heroes II rules. Map the enemy’s next action before approaching; skipping a turn is not Heroes III’s Wait.

  • Dragon creature. Specific magical protection and attacks are listed separately.
  • Occupies two hexes; allow for its footprint when blocking or passing.

Reference ↗

Where to obtain and develop this creature

This form uses the upgraded dwelling; construction cost is not the retraining price.

Growth and construction prerequisites (3)

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

Items with a specific creature relationship (1)

Read the exact item effect; the relationship may concern summoning or another function rather than a blanket buff to every form.

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

Numbers and abilities use the stated pinned fheroes2 revision. Rules do not automatically match Heroes III or every historical DOS version.

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.
