Art of conquest lich race
Lich is the only race that has undead troops. Undead troops are different when compared to other types as they are very cheap and take almost no time to train them but they can’t be injured once they fall in a battle they die.
Lich is the most cost efficient race in terms of troop building (Free if you use mummies to resurrect the troops). Lich is one of the cluster based races with the highest number of troops in a single unit (Stalkers). Lich is a overall very good race for PvP but they tend to struggle in void progression.

Most of the lich troops are undead with a exception of few magical units. Undead troops doesn’t have morale and cannot be poisoned. Gazul provides mastery for all the undead troops and Gan for magical units.
Stalkers
Stalkers are the best frontline troops for lich. They have the highest number of troops per unit (30 ~ 34). Stalkers are very effective against humanoid units as they reduce their morale and also have a chance to poison and silence them.
The silence also works on heroes. Gazul has a mastery for stalkers and also gives a chance to resurrect themselves when they die.

Dragon
Lich can either go with azure or onyx. Both are pretty good options, Onyx’s black hole is always useful and azure’s noble blood is pretty strong. Jade dragon are not useful for lich as most of its troops cant be healed. Topaz and ruby have fallen off quite a bit, so the best options for lich would be onyx or azure.
