Liches has a special ability of ''death cloud'', which means that when attacking at range they cause a "puff of death", that affects all the adjacent hexes around the target dealing damage to creatures within the radius. However, all [[non-living]] creatures ([[elemental]]s, [[golem]]s and [[undead]]) and [[war machine]]s are immune to the effects of death cloud. The creature in the target hex still suffers normally from the ranged attack of the liches. Attacking in [[melee]] combat, does not cause death cloud to emerge. Like magogs, liches are used on towers during the castle siege, but they do not use death cloud.
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.


Death cloud could potentially harm allied creatures, if liches are combined with living creatures and they are standing within radius of liches death cloud.
Death Cloud is similar to [[Magog|Magogs']] [[Fireball Attack]]. As Fireball Attack and Death Cloud are considered as AoE ranged attacks, they can't be affected by [[Preemptive Shot]]s {{withhota}}, even if target Gunslingers or Bounty Hunters as a central hex.

Liches and Power Liches are the level 5 creatures of Necropolis. They are recruited from the Mausoleum, and can also be raised with Expert Necromancy if the hero has equipped the Cloak of the Undead King.

"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. At close range, they defend themselves less efficiently with blows from their scepters." RoE manual

Special Ability: Death Cloud[edit | hide]

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 towers, their attacks follow the arrow tower calculations, and do not apply the death cloud effect.

Death Cloud is similar to Magogs' Fireball Attack. As Fireball Attack and Death Cloud are considered as AoE ranged attacks, they can't be affected by Preemptive Shots Horn of the Abyss, even if target Gunslingers or Bounty Hunters as a central hex.

Creatures immune to death cloud: Elementals:

Undead:

Gargoyles:

Golems:

Mechanicals:


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.

Horn of the Abyss[edit | hide]

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