Attributes: Strength 17, Agility 15, Intellect 23 (primary) · +2/+1/+3 per level · 590 HP, 500 mana, innate 10% magic resistance.

Special: the Lich is himself undead — holy damage hits him double, and effects that only touch the living pass him by. His skeletons count as undead too, which is what Totem of the Dead empowers.

Fire

Identical to the Mage's Fire branch — Scorch, Fireball, Spell Mastery, Summon Totem, Chain Lightning, Elemental Protection, Preparate, Fire Storm.

Necromancy

• Summon Skeleton (3) — raises a skeletal guardian (60–80 s) inheriting the Lich's stats. Higher ranks call the Skeleton Swordsman, then the armored, aura-bearing Skeleton King — and allow more servants at once.
• Drain Life (3) — channels 42/44/62 health per second out of the target into the Lich; from rank 2, a target that dies mid-drain rises as a Skeleton.
• Summon Mastery (2) — passive: your summons gain +150 (+225) health; rank 2 adds +1 armor.
• Drain Mana (2) — siphons 2% (4%) of the target's mana per second for 5 s.
• Undead Resilience (2) — passive: +70/+80 health and +5% magic resistance per rank.
• Life Tap (1) — converts 50 health into 55 mana, on an almost-zero cooldown.
• Totem of the Dead (2) — plants a magic-immune skull totem for 45 s whose Aura of the Dead gives nearby undead summons +10 attack damage and +4 armor. The rank-2 totem also curses living enemies around it: when one dies, the Lich is healed for 4% of its health. Only one totem at a time.
• Curse of Weakness (1) — enemies in an area deal 15% less physical damage for 20 s.
• Shadow Form (1) — 45 s: +35 armor, +10% magic resistance, greatly amplified mana regen — but no attacking.
• Shadow Ban (2) — banishes a target for 6 (8) s: it can't attack and crawls at half speed, but is warded while banished.
• Death Call (1) — ultimate: every living enemy nearby hears the call. Anyone below 10% health dies on the spot; the rest resist with a chance equal to their health percentage plus 10, and those who fail are killed outright. Survivors take 100 Astral damage. Heroes never die to it — they take the damage instead, and a hero who fails to resist flees in terror for 8 s, unable to attack or cast. Undead, mechanical units and buildings are untouched.

Attributes: Strength 26 (primary), Agility 15, Intellect 16 · +3/+2/+1 per level · 830 HP, 260 mana, 2 armor at level 1.

Special — the stance dance: stances are toggles that hold their stat package indefinitely; entering one clears the previous and grants a short entry surge, so timing switches is the core skill. Onslaught Stance is innate; Bulwark and Warlord are learned as branch roots.

Bulwark — +12 armor, Fortified armor, extra regen, −25% damage; entry: +30 armor for 3 s.

Vampire

An Agility sustain-duelist: fast melee attacks feed the Blood branch's drain-heals. He wins long fights by out-sustaining his opponent — and dies to burst.

Attributes: Strength 19, Agility 22 (primary), Intellect 17 · +2/+3/+1 per level · 630 HP, 315 mana, innate 5% magic resistance.

Special: Bat Form grants true flight — over cliffs, water and walls, and out of reach of every ground-only attacker — but locks his spellbook until he lands. The Vampire counts as undead: holy damage hits him double, and effects that only touch the living slide off him.

• Blood Frenzy (1) — pays 70 health for +35% attack speed and +25% movement speed for 12 s.
• Blood Moon (1) — ultimate: a crimson moon drains every enemy within 4 tiles of 16 health per second for 6 s, restoring the Vampire.

Night

• Mesmerize (2) — paralyzing gaze: no moving, attacking or casting for 3 (4.5) s. Unresistable, but only works on the living.
• Veil of Night (2) — stealth for 20 (30) s; rank 2 re-veils automatically. Cast at night, it lasts 20% longer.

• Shadow Step (1) — a short-range blink (6 tiles).
• Ambush (1) — a savage 400% weapon-damage opener — only from hiding.
• Bat Form (1) — ultimate: a monstrous bat for 45 s — flies anywhere, 40% faster, +10 damage, but cannot cast until landing.

Hunter

An Agility ranged marksman — the highest sustained auto-attack of the ranged heroes — backed by a loyal wolf companion and hidden snare traps. His bow skills ignore magic resistance entirely.

Attributes: Strength 19, Agility 22 (primary), Intellect 15 · +2/+2/+1 per level · 635 HP, 285 mana at level 1.

Special: the wolf companion is permanent — it lives until killed, fights at the Hunter's side, and inherits part of his stats. Its death restarts the Call Wolf cooldown. Snare traps are invisible and spring automatically.

Marksmanship
