'''Retaliation''' refers to the counterattack of a stack that has been the target of a [[melee]] attack. All creatures have one retaliation per combat [[round]] with the exceptions of several creatures: [[Griffin]]s, which have two retaliations per combat round; [[Royal Griffin]]s and [[Fangarm]]s (available in the [[Horn of the Abyss]] expansion), which have an unlimited number of retaliations per combat round. With the [[Counterstrike]] spell, it is possible for a hero to magically add one or two extra retaliations per combat round. For Griffins this means three or four in total. Some creatures have [[special ability]] typically phrased as "no enemy retaliation", which does not allow the stack(s) they attack to retaliate against them. This also means, that the attacked stack will not lose one of their retaliations for that combat round if attacked by a creature stack with no enemy retaliation. Thus, while attack with no retaliation is a very strong ability, sometimes it's a double-edged sword as creatures with no enemy retaliation cannot be used to prevent an enemy creature from retaliating that round. == Special abilities related to retaliation == '''Creatures with no enemy retaliation:''' * {{Cn|Sprite}} {{withab}} * {{Cn|Harpy Hag}} * {{Cn|Cerberus}} * {{Cn|Vampire|noname=}}{{Cn|Vampire Lord|name=Vampire and Vampire Lord}} * {{Cn|Psychic Elemental|noname=}}{{Cn|Magic Elemental|name=Psychic Elemental and Magic Elemental}} {{withab}} * {{Cn|Naga|noname=}}{{Cn|Naga Queen|name=Naga and Naga Queen}} * {{Cn|Devil|noname=}}{{Cn|Arch Devil|name=Devil and Arch Devil}} * {{Cn|Hydra|noname=}}{{Cn|Chaos Hydra|name=Hydra and Chaos Hydra}} * {{Cn|Corsair|noname=}}{{Cn|Sea Dog|name=Corsair and Sea Dog}} {{withhota}} * {{Cn|Sentinel Automaton}} {{withhota}} '''Creatures with more than one retaliation per combat round:''' * {{Cn|Griffin}} has two retaliations * {{Cn|Royal Griffin}} has unlimited retaliations * {{Cn|Fangarm}} {{withhota}} has unlimited retaliations '''Creatures causing modified retaliation:''' * {{Cn|Scorpicore}} can [[paralyze]] on attack which prevents creatures from acting.
