Earth daughter's icon

After surviving a grueling ordeal of penance upon the Dead Steppe, the Earth Daughter can call upon her mastery of the Orc's Blood Rage and her bonds with Mother Earth to launch savage melee attacks against which her enemies cannot retaliate. In order to maximize the damage she does, an Earth Daughter can sacrifice Goblins to improve both her Blood Rage and her mana.^OffBck

The earth daughter is the fourth-level upgraded creature of the Stronghold town in Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East. Its basic version is shaman.

Compared to the sky daughter, the earth daughter does more damage in melee combat and can avoid retaliation, but has fewer spells, making the sky daughter a better caster and the earth daughter a better fighter.

Abilities

• Caster - This creature can use a set of magical spells similar to those cast by heroes. Mana reserve is limited but always set to maximum at the beginning of combat. Spellpower depends on the number of creatures (activated ability). (Slow, Haste)
• Raging Blood - This creature has a mix of demon and human blood that makes it subject to "Blood Rage" temporarily improving it's battle characteristics for aggressive behavior in combat.
• Sacrifice Goblin - This creature can sacrifice neighboring Goblins to gain mana and increase its Attack, Defense and Morale by 1 point until the end of combat for every oblation (the total bonus is limited to 5 points). The amount of gained mana is equal to twice the hit points of the sacrificed goblin. Activated ability. One (preferably uninjured) Goblin is sacrificed from the targeted adjacent stack. The creature's Mana can exceed its maximum.
• Hexing Attack - After a successful attack, the target creature also suffers the effect of one of the following damnations: Weakness, Slow, Suffering and Vulnerability. All the effects are equal to those of Expert-level spells.
• Swift Attack - This creature can't be counterattacked by the enemies who are under the effect of Slow spell.
