Imp

How to use this creature in practice

Melee core and holding approaches

Imp should take reachable melee exchanges or hold an approach to more valuable units. Before advancing, identify its next target and enemies able to attack it afterward.

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

Speed 5 sets movement reach; Initiative 13 concerns ATB. A movement change is not the same change in action frequency.

  • Demonic: Demonic type is skipped by Succubus Chain Shot and follows the relevant Holy Word vulnerability.
  • Mana Destroyer: Destroys enemy hero mana at its first action, according to stack size.

Army range in the source profile (13)

The manual gives a stack-size range. A zero minimum does not confirm presence; this is neither a fixed count nor a guaranteed total for every mission.

Example in a tactical plan (1)

The creature is an example in our specific plan; this does not establish ownership or a starting army.

Reference ↗

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

The reference is Tribes of the East 3.1. Initiative concerns ATB and Speed concerns movement; increasing one does not automatically increase the other. Upgrades and alternatives have separate profiles.

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.

Original roster scope

177 creatures from the Tribes of the East 3.1 manual: 168 faction variants and 9 neutrals. Original and alternative upgrades remain separate. Stats exclude heroes, artifacts and spells. Speed determines range; Initiative determines ATB action timing. Costs include rare resources and are per creature.
