While Pit Fiends do not have any special abilities, Pit Lords are able to summon [[Demon]]s by resurrecting allied dead creature stacks. Each Pit Lord can summon up to 50 [[health]] points worth of Demons. Because Demons have 35 hit points, this means that 7 Pit Lords can summon exactly 10 Demons. However, the total health of demons summoned this way cannot exceed the total health of the dead stack nor can the number of demons exceed the number of creatures in the dead stack. In other words, the dead stack must have had at least 35 hit points in order for summoning to work. A stack of one [[Pikeman]] cannot be resurrected while a stack of four will summon one demon. The full table can be seen [[Summon demons#Demoning table|here]]. | While Pit Fiends do not have any special abilities, Pit Lords are able to summon [[Demon]]s by resurrecting allied dead creature stacks.

It should be noted that [[non-living]] cannot be converted to Demons. Additionally, health increasing artifacts ([[Ring of Life]], [[Ring of Vitality]], [[Vial of Lifeblood]] and [[Elixir of Life]]) are counted in the calculations dead creature stack's total health. | It should be noted that [[non-living]] cannot be converted to Demons.

=== Demon herding === | === Demon herding === | ||
Demon herding is a tactic that can be used for Inferno. The basic idea is, that the player deliberately sacrifices [[Imp]]s and [[Gog]]s in combat in order to summon them back as demons. This is based on the fact that imps and gogs have lower attack to defense ratings than demons, and therefore their hit points are more valuable. You can also herd demons from cheap low-level troops from other [[town]]s. Additionally, [[Clone|cloning]] hero's pit lords will grant an extra number of demon summonings. By using the Clone spell or having multiple Pit Lord stacks, it is possible to resurrect the same Demon stack several times during a single battle. | |||

Pit Fiends and Pit Lords are decent level 5 creatures, boasting good stats, but pretty low health. However, the Lords' main role is to summon [[demons]] from allied dead stacks when fighting wandering monsters, in a tactic called "Demon farming/herding". In big battles, they are used as offensive support units. | Pit Fiends and Pit Lords are decent level 5 creatures, boasting good stats, but pretty low health.
