How to use this creature in practice
Melee core and holding approaches
Use fire protection against matching magic. Energy Elementals improve obstacle-crossing movement and add support casting.
Watch for: Do not import every elemental trait from other games. Check cold vulnerabilities and friendly healing eligibility.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 6 affects reach and order. Before Wait compare who still acts this round and who opens the next; delaying does not create a free extra attack.
- Mind immunity: Resists spells and effects classified as mind-affecting. This does not establish immunity to every spell.
- Fire-school immunity: Resists Fire-school effects. This does not automatically protect against other schools or every special attack.
Example for 10 creatures: 40–60 base damage for one ordinary hit before hero, defense, spell and ability modifiers. Recalculate surviving creatures before a subsequent hit.
What changes between base and upgraded forms
| Form | Attack / Defense | Damage | HP | Speed | Cost each |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Elemental | 10 / 8 | 4–6 | 35 | 6 | 350 gold |
| Energy Elemental | 12 / 8 | 4–6 | 35 | 8 | 400 gold |
Different effects on the other profile:
- Flying: Movement can cross obstacles. Devils and Arch Devils express this trait through teleportation; speed still determines reach.
- Cast: Protection from Fire: Can use Protection from Fire at reference mastery 2. Cast count and creature-count scaling are listed separately.
- Enchantment duration: This creature’s support magic has a baseline duration of 6 rounds, rather than automatically inheriting its accompanying hero’s Spell Power.
- Creature uses: The stack has 3 spell use(s) during the battle. More creatures do not automatically multiply the activation count.
This compares recruitment prices and base parameters, rather than final damage or an automatic price for a particular map upgrade.
