| ''"Liches attack at range with a death cloud, which always causes damage in the target hex but also attacks all non-undead creatures in adjacent hexes.

| They have relatively low health and defense stats, so they should be protected. Regular liches can also be raised with Expert Necromancy if the hero has equipped the [[Cloak of the Undead King|Cloak of the Undead King]].

| == Special ability death cloud ==
| | [[Category: Minor artifacts]] |
| Liches' death cloud special ability only works when they attack at range. In addition to normal ranged attack damage in target hex, the death cloud also causes a "puff of death" that affects all 6 adjacent hexes around the target hex dealing damage to all living creatures in the radius. The damage is caused equally to allied and enemy creatures, and the amount is calculated individually for all affected creatures. Two hexes wide creatures do not suffer additional damage if both of their hexes are affected. Although Liches also defend Necropolis towns in [[arrow tower]]s, their attacks follow the arrow tower calculations, and do not apply the death cloud effect.

| | |
| It should be noted, that the immunity only concerns the cloud causing damage to adjacent hexes. It does not protect creatures from liches' normal ranged attack damage.

| ===== Heroes with a specialty =====
| |
| | |
| *{{H|Moandor|Death Knight}} has liches as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Liches or Power Liches for each level attained after 5th level and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.

| Liches and Power Liches can shoot death cloud at any hex of the battlefield except for its own hex and adjacent ones (unless sniper bow is present). Targeting dialogue is called by pressing G.
