How to use this creature in practice

Melee core and holding approaches

Wolf 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 6 sets movement reach; Initiative 14 concerns ATB. A movement change is not the same change in action frequency.

  • Pack Hunter: Other friendly wolf stacks adjacent to the target join the attack before retaliation.
  • Howl: Once per battle, summons another wolf stack of equal power.

Reference ↗

Where to obtain and develop this creature

This reference assigns no direct town dwelling. Read the profile’s availability and abilities for acquisition.

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.
