Understanding Lizardmen Resurrection Mechanics

The Lizardmen's greatest advantage lies in their ability to recycle fallen warriors back onto the battlefield. This not only shifts the battle dynamic in prolonged campaigns but also makes them particularly lethal in multiplayer skirmishes.

Key to this strategy is fielding enough units with the 'Undivided' rule, which allows fallen warriors to be resummoned. Priests and nearby Ancillaries can revive units, so ensure you've got them in your army composition.

Lord Kroak's Resurrection Rite

Lord Kroak, the ancient and powerful Lizardman mage, possesses a unique ability to resurrect fallen heroes. His presence alone can nullify enemy morale benefits, making him an essential addition to your army.

Unexpectedly losing a Lord Kroak? Don't despair! Kroak himself can be resummoned, providing you've got the necessary Arcane Nexus buildings in your province. Keep an eye on his health, though, as he's no slouch in combat either.

The Hierophant's Blessing

The Hierophant, a rotates-only unit, is vital for maximizing your resurrection efforts. His passive ability, Resolute Spirit, allows nearby units to once more rise from the ashes, giving your troops a new lease on life.

Be mindful of the Hierophant's positioning, as his blessings can only be bestowed upon units within 15 hexes. Place him wisely, and watch as your armies reform under his zealous gaze.
