The Lich is the first boss you'll encounter, serving as a test of your basic understanding of the game. He has moderate health and damage, but his unique mechanic involves placing 'Lich's Palaces' on adjacent tiles to the campfire, which boost his stats.

Abilities:
- Lich's Palace: Each Palace tile adjacent to the campfire increases the Lich's HP and damage.
- Basic Attack: Standard melee attack.
Strategy:
- Clear Palaces: Use Oblivion cards to remove as many Lich's Palaces as possible before the fight. Each removed Palace significantly weakens him.
- Gear Up: Ensure you have the best possible gear equipped. Prioritize damage and attack speed for Warrior, evasion for Rogue, and summon quality/count for Necromancer.
- Potions: Save your potions for the fight.
- Healing Tiles: Place Meadows or a Ransacked Village near the campfire for extra healing before the fight.
The Lich is a straightforward damage race. Reduce his stats with Oblivion, then hit him hard and fast.
