	'''Luck''' is a combat variable that allows a creature to deal double {{swh\|total\|base}} damage in combat. As can be seen from the table on the right, there are three levels in luck modifier: positive (+1), good (+2) and excellent (+3). Luck can also be neutral (zero), which means that a creature stack cannot get a "lucky strike". Creature stack's luck modifier depends mainly on hero's luck status, but can also be affected by spells ([[Fortune]], [[Misfortune]]) or creature abilities (e.g. [[Devil~~\|Devils~~]]). Additionally, {{sod}} expansion introduced [[magical terrain~~\|magical terrains~~]] that can affect luck modifiers. Hero's luck depends on equipped [[artifact~~\|artifacts~~]], possible [[Luck (skill)\|luck secondary skill]] and/or visited [[Adventure Map]] locations.
