How to use this hero
Home faction: Dungeon
Chance of an extra shot
The manual names Shadow Witches and Shadow Matriarchs. They may fire an extra shot at the hero’s current target, with a level-dependent chance. Plan for a failed trigger as well. Shadow Mistress is not in this list, and its profile has no ordinary ranged shots. Do not automatically transfer this effect when choosing the second upgrade.
What the profile establishes
Specialty · Coven Mistress
Shadow Witches and Shadow Matriarchs may fire a free shot at the hero’s current target. The chance scales with level; do not budget it as guaranteed damage.
Listed starting skills
- Basic Irresistible Magic
- Basic Destructive Magic
- Basic Attack
Suggested army and further development
The following is our recommendation. Creatures, spells and items must actually be acquired; this does not establish current inventory.
Build further choices around the listed skills and the needs of the current army. Choose equipment for the actual bottleneck: survival, attack effectiveness, mana or movement.
Skills I would build around: Basic Attack · Basic Irresistible Magic. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.
Creatures I would consider
Spells for this plan
- Lightning BoltSpell / warcry in the reference profile
For more delay, strike a dangerous stack just before it acts. Immediately after its turn, the stun offers little value.
Equipment I would compare
Compare effect, slot and acquisition conditions on the item card. A suggestion does not establish that the hero starts with it.

Army: ranges in the manual profile
- Stack 1 · 7–10 × Scout
- Stack 2 · 3 × Blood Maiden
- Stack 3 · 0–2 × Minotaur
Counts are manual ranges rather than a fixed state in every mission. A zero minimum allows absence, and repeated stacks remain separate.
Machines listed in the manual profile
Ammo CartExplicitly listed machine · check mission state separately
Owning a machine does not itself grant its control ability. Distinguish War Machines mastery from Ballista, First Aid and Catapult.
Spells and suitable equipment
The reference profile lists the spells or warcries below. The state on entering a particular mission can differ.

Equipment suggestions for the plan (2)
Editorial suggestions based on sourced magic or an army plan. These are not starting inventory or guaranteed finds. Check acquisition, slot and rules on the item card.
Beginner's Magic WandSuggestionAdds two Spellpower; despite the name this is not a limited-charge casting wand.
For spells whose damage or duration actually uses magical power. Check the individual spell formula.
Necromancer's HelmSuggestionAdds two hero Knowledge for greater base mana capacity.
For a longer spellcasting expedition. Capacity and daily recovery are separate effects; compare current reserves with the next battle.
