Game Data Strategy
Arch-vile
Appearance: V
Health: 70
Armor: 2
Accuracy: +2 melee, N/A ranged (see below)
Melee Damage: 1d3+6 = 7-9 = 8 avg
Projectile Damage: 20d1 = 20 always; fire damage, radius 1
Speed: 160%
Standard Depth: 16+
Experience Value: 608

Special abilities: The Arch-vile's attack always hits its targeted tile, and it takes no damage from its own attack. Resurrects dead monsters in its vision (25% chance per action). Resurrected monsters take 4.0 game seconds to "activate", or become active in combat or other actions.
Ingame description: The worst thing you could encounter. With some unholy power far beyond your grasp they attack you with hellish flame, and are able to summon back the enemies you've worked so hard to banish!
Comments/special: Avoids player as much as possible, but will use its melee attack when in range. When an Arch-vile attacks, it'll enter a unique state where it "raises its arms", and if the player is still in its vision after 1.563 seconds passes (rounded to 1.5 or 1.6 depending on how its Fractional Time works out), its attack will hit the tile the player is on (or was last on if a successful dodge is executed). If the player moves out of its vision before the attack completes, its attack will target the tile it last saw the player on. If the player is out of its vision and the Arch-vile is damaged before it completes its attack, it will cancel its attack.
