• Death stare |
Gorgons and Mighty Gorgons are level 5 creatures of Fortress town. They are recruited from the Gorgon Lair.
"The sturdy gorgons attack with their acidic breath. The Mighty Gorgon has a death stare with a 10% chance per attack of killing 1 creature in a troop outright..." RoE manual
Special ability death stare[edit]
Mighty Gorgons have special ability death stare, which may occur after the stack has attacked, including retaliations. When the stack attacks, the successful death stare occurs before the enemy has a chance to retaliate. Every gorgon in the stack has 10% chance to cause death stare. Successful stare instantly kills the 'top' unit of a stack, leaving the new 'top' unit with full health. The stare cannot kill more enemies than 1/10th from the number of Mighty Gorgons in a stack rounded up. In other words, the stare of 1–10 Mighty Gorgons may only kill one enemy, while a stack of 11 might kill two.
Unlike most "magic" abilities, this works on Black Dragons, but not on the undead.
Calculation[edit]
PR% = 1 - 0,90^N
PR% = Chance to kill at least one enemy creature
N = Number of Mighty Gorgons in a stack
Creatures immune to death stare:
Elementals: | Undead: |
Gargoyles: Golems: |
Heroes with a specialty[edit]
- Alkin the Beastmaster has gorgons as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any Gorgons or Mighty Gorgons for each level attained after 5th level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
