Water Elemental: before activating, compare immediate damage with support or control from its actual ability pool. Choose an eligible target and an opportunity to exploit the effect in subsequent actions.
Watch for: Base stats are not the final exchange result. Account for retaliation, current creature count, target immunity and subsequent action order.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 5 sets movement reach; Initiative 10 concerns ATB. A movement change is not the same change in action frequency.
Caster: Has its own spells and mana, refilled at each battle’s start. Power depends on stack size.
Immune to Water: Immune to Water. Assess other damage and effect types separately.

Reading this profile correctly
The reference is Tribes of the East 3.1. Initiative concerns ATB and Speed concerns movement; increasing one does not automatically increase the other. Upgrades and alternatives have separate profiles.
Resource costs are part of recruitment. For an entire stack, multiply every component, not just gold. Base growth excludes additional town, map and hero bonuses. Zero shots means no regular ranged attack; the creature can still have spells or other active abilities.
177 creatures from the Tribes of the East 3.1 manual: 168 faction variants and 9 neutrals. Original and alternative upgrades remain separate. Stats exclude heroes, artifacts and spells. Speed determines range; Initiative determines ATB action timing. Costs include rare resources and are per creature.
