How to use this creature in practice

Ranged stack requiring usable line of sight

Breeder needs line of sight to an important target. Position the screen against actual enemy reach; repeated ranged actions matter only when the enemy cannot quickly engage it.

Watch for: Distance, obstacles, engagement and ammunition are separate conditions. A ranged attribute alone does not guarantee full damage against every target.

Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan

Combat movement 5 and Initiative 40 are separate. Choose a reachable target by current order and the actual physical or magical attack type.

  • Mana Stealer: An attack steals 5% of the enemy hero’s current mana and transfers it to your hero. It uses current mana rather than maximum capacity.
  • Fireproof Skin: The demon takes 20% less Fire damage. Other magic schools do not trigger this particular protection.

Abilities and limitations

  • Mana Stealer

    An attack steals 5% of the enemy hero’s current mana and transfers it to your hero. It uses current mana rather than maximum capacity.

  • Fireproof Skin

    The demon takes 20% less Fire damage. Other magic schools do not trigger this particular protection.

  • Light vulnerability

    Demons and undead are 20% more vulnerable to the relevant Light attacks. Some healing Light spells damage them rather than restoring health.

  • Living

    Can receive applicable healing and resurrection and is affected by morale. A particular spell must still satisfy its own targeting rules.

Where to obtain and develop this creature

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

Growth and construction prerequisites (1)

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

Read Might/Magic damage and protection separately. Protection percentages are not raw Defense attributes. Campaign forms, bosses and transformations do not establish separate ordinary recruitment.

The table separates Might and Magic damage, including the element. Protection percentages are not raw defense attributes; ability bonuses cannot simply be added to them. Growth belongs to the listed reference recruitment form and does not guarantee the same count in every town and patch. Ranged reach is not ammunition. Read separate conditions for bosses and Namtaru forms.

Original roster scope

111 stat profiles from eight historical Acid Cave inventories: 86 faction forms, 12 neutrals and 13 bosses. The faction inventory covers 84 base and upgraded creatures, with additional separate humanoid and spider forms for Fate Spinner and Fate Weaver. A boss is not an ordinary recruit. Might and Magic damage are separate; protection percentages are not raw defense attributes. Values describe the cited reference tables rather than every patch and scenario.
