{{Fanopinion|
Pit Fiends and Pit Lords are decent level 5 creatures, boasting good stats, but pretty low health. However, the Lords' main role is to summon [[demons]] from allied dead stacks when fighting wandering monsters, in a tactic called "Demon farming/herding". In big battles, they are used as offensive support units.
----
Summon Demons can also be used to win fights without (meaningful) losses: as long as you were going to convert Imps into Demons anyway, might as well let them soak enemy blows and retaliations -- AI loves attacking low-level creatures when given the chance.  If no sacrificial recruits are available, Demons themselves can be resurrected, although this requires some skill, as only a fully dead stack can be targeted, so just the right amount of Demons must be separated into a second stack, and AI must be incited to attack it instead of the main stack.
----
Of note is that the total Demon HP a weekly growth of Pit Lords can revive is 50% higher than what a weekly growth of [[Archangel]]s could manage, and the former can also be [[Clone]]d without any [[Water Magic]] skill, which compensates somewhat for the ability's much more narrow utility.
