Lich needs line of sight to an important target. Position the screen against actual enemy reach; repeated ranged actions matter only when the enemy cannot quickly engage it.
Watch for: Distance, obstacles, engagement and ammunition are separate conditions. A ranged attribute alone does not guarantee full damage against every target.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Read Speed 5 under Heroes II rules. Map the enemy’s next action before approaching; skipping a turn is not Heroes III’s Wait.
Undead creature; follows undead rules rather than normal living-creature rules.
The shot creates a cloud affecting the target’s surroundings. Check adjacent stacks and their immunities.

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.
66 actual Heroes II creatures including upgrades and neutrals. Values and abilities follow the pinned fheroes2 revision; random editor placeholders are excluded. Prices are per creature, growth is the base weekly value, and combat stats exclude hero, artifact and spell bonuses.
