Base form

How to use this creature in practice

Melee core and holding approaches

Lamasu 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

Combat movement 6 and Initiative 25 are separate. Choose a reachable target by current order and the actual physical or magical attack type.

  • Aura of Putrescence: At turn start reduces adjacent stacks’ maximum health by 5%. Lasts two rounds and can accumulate up to five applications; it affects more than the selected target.
  • Emotionless: Unaffected by morale-changing effects. Morale buffs therefore do not provide their ordinary benefit to this stack.

Abilities and limitations

  • Aura of Putrescence

    At turn start reduces adjacent stacks’ maximum health by 5%. Lasts two rounds and can accumulate up to five applications; it affects more than the selected target.

  • Undead

    Uses neutral morale, gains 20% Water protection and resists poison, disease, blindness and mind control. Healing requiring a living target does not automatically work on it.

  • Emotionless

    Unaffected by morale-changing effects. Morale buffs therefore do not provide their ordinary benefit to this stack.

  • Light vulnerability

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

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.
