Heroes with a specialty[edit | edit source]

Special Ability: 3-Headed Attack[edit | edit source]

While hell hounds have no special ability, cerberi have an ability phrased as 3-headed attack. It allows cerberi to attack three adjacent hexes at the same time causing individual damage to the hexes. The adjacent hexes are determined from the direction of the attack. The hexes affected by cerberi's attack is the target hex, and the ones to the left and to the right to it. However, creatures that are two hexes wide do not suffer double damage from cerberi's attack. Additionally, cerberus attack do not enable a retaliation from the target.

Restoration of Erathia and Armageddon's Blade[edit | edit source]

In Restoration of Erathia and Armageddon's Blade, there was unique situation when damage of the unit decreased after upgrade (2-7 for Hell Hounds and 2-5 for Cerberi). It was changed in Shadow of Death.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

An Arch Devil and a Cerberus appear at the beginning of the A Devilish Plan scenario from the Dungeons and Devils campaign in Restoration of Erathia.

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Their damage range is quite wide, which makes them benefit greatly from Bless spell. However, Bless is one of the spells that cannot appear in Inferno mage guilds. On the other hand, Curse makes them significantly weaker.
