- This article is about the creature from Heroes of Might and Magic V. For other uses, see Death Knight.
A terrible curse awaits those who are foolish enough to combat these Vampire lords, outcasts from the dark realm of the Necromancers. Death Knights are able to slay numerous enemies with a single strike.OffBck
The death knight is a neutral creature in Heroes of Might and Magic V.
Death knights are quite fast. With the Deadly Strike ability, they can cut in half the number of creatures in a stack, making it an invaluable ability. Even without Deadly Strike, they do very high damage, but they are also somewhat fragile for a sixth-level creature. However, being undead gives them many advantages (i.e. immunity to mind spells) and the Raise Dead spell can help preserve their numbers.
