'''Retaliation''' refers to the counterattack of a stack that has been the target of a [[melee]] attack. All creatures have one retaliation per combat [[round]] with the exceptions of several creatures: [[Griffin]]s, which have two retaliations per combat round; [[Royal Griffin]]s and [[Fangarm]]s (available in the [[Horn of the Abyss]] expansion), which have an unlimited number of retaliations per combat round. With the [[Counterstrike]] spell, it is possible for a hero to magically add one or two extra retaliations per combat round. For Griffins this means three or four in total.
'''Retaliation''' refers to the counterattack of stack that has been attacked. Typically creature stacks retaliate once, but [[griffin]]s have two retaliations and [[royal griffin]]s have unlimited number of retaliations. Also with the [[counterstrike]] spell hero can gain additional retaliations for stacks. Additionally, some creatures have [[special ability]] that allows no enemy retaliation.


Some creatures have [[special ability]] typically phrased as "no enemy retaliation", which does not allow the stack(s) they attack to retaliate against them. This also means, that the attacked stack will not lose one of their retaliations for that combat round if attacked by a creature stack with no enemy retaliation. Thus, while attack with no retaliation is a very strong ability, sometimes it's a double-edged sword as creatures with no enemy retaliation cannot be used to prevent an enemy creature from retaliating that round.
