Shakti the Overlord is a Dungeon hero.

Specialty

Besides the ability mentioned in his description, Shakti also gives +1 speed to Troglodytes and Infernal Troglodytes. The in-game description "{{{herospec}}}" is erroneous in "each level attained" moment, and lacks the speed bonus information. (Description is fixed in HotA ).

Unlike the native terrain speed bonus, the creature specialty speed bonus can affect the hero's movement points in case the creature is the slowest one in the army.

Shakti potentially has one of the strongest starting armies in the game. This, combined with the fact that he starts with two very useful secondary skills, makes Shakti an excellent choice of starting hero when playing as Dungeon.
