 Infernal Servants can be great allies, especially in numbers. Multiple demons are enough to take out threatening enemies, such as [[hydra]]s, in the mid-game. As your Invocations skill increases, you will start to get tier-2 demons, which are strong whether on their own or in groups. But, like with many things in Crawl, it's best to summon your demonic allies ''before'' engaging a tough enemy. If you're already in danger, summoning a hostile demon probably won't help.
-The healing is particularly appreciated by [[Ghoul]]s and bloodless [[Vampire]]s, who have issues healing normally, and [[Djinn]], who use HP to cast their spells. You should not rely entirely on this healing, but it can help you sustain a bit longer during a fight.

 Unfortunately, Makhleb doesn't offer great panic buttons. If you're already at low HP, this god won't help much. Also, in order for Makhleb's abilities to be reliable, you'll need a fair bit of Invocations skill.
