How to use this creature in practice

Melee core and holding approaches

Plan Shielding for its actual recipients and ally positions. Before clustering, compare protection with enemy area attacks and flanking threats.

Watch for: The trait is not shared by every town infantry creature. Evaluate front, flank and rear under Heroes VII rules.

Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan

Combat movement 5 and Initiative 19 are separate. Choose a reachable target by current order and the actual physical or magical attack type.

  • Shielding: The reference rule gives an adjacent ally only 25% of a melee or ranged hit while Legionnaire also takes 25%. Do not substitute Heroes VI’s different calculation; stacking protectors also depends on version fixes.

Growth 21 belongs to the basic recruitment line in the dwelling reference. It does not guarantee the same reinforcements after town, weekly and hero bonuses.

The creature is an example in our specific plan; this does not establish ownership or a starting army.

Reference ↗

Where to obtain and develop this creature

This form uses the upgraded dwelling; construction cost is not the retraining price.

Growth and construction prerequisites (2)

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

Distinguish a base creature from its upgrade and an alternative Champion. Fortress and other content have edition labels. A warfare unit’s five scaling ranks are not creature counts.

Attack and defense are numeric attributes; damage also has its own type or element. Full and half ranged reach describe an attack mode rather than ammunition. Compare Champions with their mutually exclusive dwellings. Warfare units use separate control and scaling; the five stages in their tables are not creature counts.

Original roster scope

156 profiles: 112 base and upgraded town creatures from seven factions, 25 neutrals and 19 warfare units. Includes Fortress and other Trial by Fire creatures, separately identifying verified Lost Tales of Axeoth content. Historical Acid Cave stats include rebalanced Champions; this is not a UCP or Heroes 7.5 table. Base dwelling growth has separate references and is still missing for 14 profiles. Warfare units have their own stage 1–5 effect tables; their base parameters do not cover every Warfare level.
