Herbomancer 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
Speed 4 and Initiative 6 govern different parts of the turn. This profile lists ability costs of 2 Focus charges; compare them with the shared pool, cooldown and competing activations.
Shroomsong: Once per battle, consumes the entire stored Focus reserve. Each charge restores 4 hero mana, so the amount depends on the reserve when activated. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).
Swarm of Bees: Initially deals 16 + 4 × caster count damage, then repeats that amount at the target’s turn starts over three rounds. Multiple applications accumulate. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).

Abilities and limitations
Shroomsong
Once per battle, consumes the entire stored Focus reserve. Each charge restores 4 hero mana, so the amount depends on the reserve when activated. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).
Swarm of Bees
Initially deals 16 + 4 × caster count damage, then repeats that amount at the target’s turn starts over three rounds. Multiple applications accumulate. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).
Living
Living creatures normally have morale limits of −5 to +5 and luck limits of −3 to +3. Their casualties can supply post-battle Necromancy.
Long Reach
Can strike the hex immediately beyond an adjacent hex without moving next to the victim. The strike prevents retaliation, allowing a gap or obstacle to protect the attacker.
Mushroom Magic
The allied hero pays 1 less mana per spell. Multiple copies do not accumulate; only the strongest version applies.
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
This profile retains build 25672315, dated 2026-10-10. It is a dated reference export rather than automatic public-beta 0.82 values. Summoned and converted creatures use their own acquisition conditions.
Speed determines movement reach and initiative determines action order. Focus points differ from full charges: normally six points fill one charge. Ability costs use charges; zero identifies a verified free activation. Weekly growth and price exclude hero, law and other bonuses. Summons and conversions have separate acquisition rules. The full inventory of alternative free attacks, turn-ending conditions and some restrictions still needs expansion.
147 profiles from the game-data extract for build 25672315, dated 10 October 2026: 126 town forms across six factions, Fire Larva and 20 neutral profiles, including temporary Avatar and conversion-acquired Lich Dragon. Both alternative upgrades have separate cards. Creature type, attacks, movement, morale and luck remain distinct; abilities list Focus cost and cooldown. Supplementary official-wiki revisions are cited separately. Public beta 0.82 has different balance and additional neutrals; those values are kept separate from this reference build.
