Shadow Mistress: 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
Speed 5 sets movement reach; Initiative 11 concerns ATB. A movement change is not the same change in action frequency.
Caster: Has its own spells and mana, refilled at each battle’s start. Power depends on stack size.
Whip Strike: A melee hit may add Slow, Weakness or Frenzy. Undead, elemental and mechanical targets are exempt.

Abilities and limitations
Caster
Has its own spells and mana, refilled at each battle’s start. Power depends on stack size.
Whip Strike
A melee hit may add Slow, Weakness or Frenzy. Undead, elemental and mechanical targets are exempt.
Invisibility
Once per battle, becomes invisible for three turns. Attacking or close contact reveals it; area effects can still hit.
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.
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.
