How to use this creature in practice

Stack spellcasting or active support

Shaman: 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.
  • Raging Blood: Uses Blood Rage, temporarily improving combat stats and absorbing damage according to its current state.

Heroes connected to this creature

Army range in the source profile (1)

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.

Where to obtain and develop this creature

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

Growth and construction prerequisites (4)

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.
