== Overall Tactics ==
'''Units capable of casting Fireball:'''
Mighty Gorgons are among the best overall level 5 creatures in the game, and certainly one of the highlights of the Fortress town. They can defend your [[Ranged attackers]], or with a [[prayer]] or [[haste]] or even a [[cape of velocity]] can go blow for blow with creatures far stronger than them because of their good defense stat, high health and incredibly effective death stare ability. Ideal strategy is to get them on the strongest [[troop stack]] possible ([[Azure Dragons]], [[Titans]], etc.) and watch them level opponents far stronger in stats.

===== Special ability death stare =====
'''Heroes that specialize in Fireball:'''
Mighty Gorgons have [[special ability]] death stare, which may occur after the stack has attacked, including retaliations. When the stack attacks, the successful death stare occurs before the enemy has a chance to retaliate. Every gorgon in the stack has 10% chance to cause death stare. Successful stare instantly kills the 'top' unit of a stack, leaving the new 'top' unit with full health. The stare cannot kill more enemies than 1/10th from the number of Mighty Gorgons in a stack rounded up. In other words, the stare of 1–10 Mighty Gorgons may only kill one enemy, while a stack of 11 might kill two.

Unlike most "magic" abilities, this works on Black Dragons, but not on the undead.

===== Heroes with a specialty =====
*{{H|Alkin|Beastmaster}} has gorgons as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any Gorgons or Mighty Gorgons for each level attained after 5th level, and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.
