'''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 [[melee|close range]], they defend themselves less efficiently with blows from their scepters."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 102|RoE manual]]''</sup>

== Special Ability: Death Cloud ==
__TOC__
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 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.
== General Tactics and Info ==
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]].
