Barghest 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 6 and Initiative 8 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.
Call the Pack: Adds temporary creatures equal to 20% of the stack’s current count. These additions are not permanent post-battle recruitment. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).
Melee Attack: Its ordinary attack requires an adjacent enemy and can provoke retaliation. Particular abilities may alter those rules for their own strike.

Abilities and limitations
Call the Pack
Adds temporary creatures equal to 20% of the stack’s current count. These additions are not permanent post-battle recruitment. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).
Undead
Undead are unaffected by morale and normally allow luck from −5 to +5. Their own casualties cannot be processed again with post-battle Necromancy.
Melee Attack
Its ordinary attack requires an adjacent enemy and can provoke retaliation. Particular abilities may alter those rules for their own strike.
Melee Defense I
Reduces incoming melee damage by 30%. This protects against the specified damage type; evaluate other attacks and changes to the defense attribute separately.
Bone Crusher
Each strike transfers 1 defense from the target to this creature for the rest of combat. The transfer cannot be dispelled.
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.
