How to use this creature in practice

Ranged stack requiring usable line of sight

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

  • Shared Pain: Succubus takes 90% of melee damage and returns the remaining 10% to the attacker. Ranged attacks do not use that melee trigger.
  • Fireproof Skin: The demon takes 20% less Fire damage. Other magic schools do not trigger this particular protection.

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

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.
