The spell destroys (sacrifices) the target living troop in order to resurrect creatures of another stack back to life. The other stack must be receptive to the Resurrection spell. A sacrificed stack leaves an empty hex on the battlefield without anything to be resurrected or summoned as Demons, i.e. without leaving a corpse for any uses.
Creatures immune to Sacrifice (or resurrection via Sacrifice):
- Undead
- Golems
- Elementals
- Mechanicals
Stone and Obsidian Gargoyles
Gold Dragon *can be sacrificed but not resurrected NOTE: In HotA , Gold Dragons can be resurrected with Sacrifice as both parts of the spell are now considered level 5.
User Commentary
Typically, it is better to sacrifice a troop with a greater number of creatures than a troop with the same total health but fewer units.
Optimize sacrifice with resurrection spell.

(*)NOTE: All hit point restored is calculated based on:
- Expert proficiency in earth
- Basic proficiency in fire
- For Dragon, hero has Orb of Vulnerability
- Equation of resurrection spell: healed = 160 + power x 50
- Equation of sacrifice spell healed = n x power + ( n - 1 ) x health + current_health + n x 3
Optimize sacrifice with Archangel and clone spell.

(*)NOTE: All hit point restored is calculated based on:
- Expert proficiency in water (archangel can be cloned)
- Basic proficiency in fire
- For Dragon, hero has Orb of Vulnerability
- Equation of archangel capacity: healed = number x 100
- Equation of sacrifice spell healed = n x power + ( n - 1 ) x health + current_health + n x 3
- (example) With 2 Archangel and 200 Peasant, Hero can resurrect 1 Azure Dragon.
