}} The spell destroys (sacrifices) the target [[Non-living|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 [[Resurrection|resurrected]] or [[Pit Fiend and Pit Lord#Special ability|summoned]] as Demons, i.e. without leaving a [[Corpse (combat)|corpse]] for any uses.
}} It destroys the target [[living]] troop in orded to resurrect creatures from another stack back to life. This another stack must be receptive to [[resurrection]] spell.

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.

The table below presents some concrete cases. By having a power of 99, with 5510 peasants, you will resurrect 527 azure dragons (you will then be able to resurrect the peasants). It therefore takes 10 peasants to resurrect 1 azure dragon. The greater the difference between the "replaceable" creature's power and life, the greater the resurrection. The mana cost is also lower between 1 sacrifice and 1 resurrection compared to 3 resurrections from greenscreen images.

The spell is effective if the creature's health is 1 or less (power point - 3) divided by 2, if the number of creatures to be sacrificed exceeds 101.

'''Optimize Archangel and Clone combination with Sacrifice spell.'''
 
The table below presents some concrete cases. By having 10 archangels, with 100 marksmans you will be able to resurrect 2000 life points with 7 power points or 8 archangels (only 3 with the resurrection spell). The effect increases if the hero increases his power points.

(*)NOTE: All hit point restored is calculated based on:
*
* Expert proficiency in water (archangel can be cloned)
* Basic proficiency in fire
* Hero has 7 in power point (the effect increases if the power points increase)
* 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.
 
'''Additional information'''


In the text it says: "Target, non-undead troop is sacrificed (destroyed).", in fact it is: "Target, non-undead, non-bloodless, non-summoned, non-hyponotized and non-cloned, troop is sacrificed (destroyed)."
== Comments & debate ==
Typically it is better to sacrifice a troop with many creatures than a troop with the same total health but fewer units.
