How to use this creature in practice

Ranged stack requiring usable line of sight

Pyroboros 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

Speed 8 and Initiative 8 govern different parts of the turn. Check the particular ability for alternative free attacks.

  • Hive Spawn: Hive Spawn normally allow both morale and luck between −5 and +5. Fallen members can supply post-battle Necromancy.
  • Area Strike: Damages the target and enemies around it. This version does not specify halved damage against secondary victims.

Abilities and limitations

  • Hive Spawn

    Hive Spawn normally allow both morale and luck between −5 and +5. Fallen members can supply post-battle Necromancy.

  • Ranged Attack

    Can target distant enemies, with the reference penalty of 10% per hex from three hexes onward, capped at 50%. This form’s other traits determine its close-combat rules.

  • Area Strike

    Damages the target and enemies around it. This version does not specify halved damage against secondary victims.

  • Duelist

    Close combat does not reduce this creature’s damage. This trait does not itself alter movement range.

  • Blink

    This profile’s movement bypasses obstacles and traps. Apply the listed movement range when selecting a destination.

  • Hivemind: Vanguard

    At combat start, gains 1 attack for each other distinct Hive creature type in the army. Killing an enemy generates 2 Focus points.

  • Corpse Eater

    Moving onto a corpse consumes it and restores 120 health. This recovery may bring back dead stack members.

  • Demonic Stench

    Enemy stacks receive −2 luck. Multiple copies of this aura do not accumulate; the strongest version applies.

Where to obtain and develop this creature

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

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

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.

Original roster scope

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.
