Fire Elemental
How to use this creature in practice
Ranged stack requiring usable line of sight
Fire Elemental needs line of sight to an important target. Position the screen against actual enemy reach; repeated ranged actions matter only when the enemy cannot quickly engage it.
Watch for: Distance, obstacles, engagement and ammunition are separate conditions. A ranged attribute alone does not guarantee full damage against every target.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Combat movement 5 and Initiative 40 are separate. Choose a reachable target by current order and the actual physical or magical attack type.
- Fire retaliation: Fire Elemental deals Fire damage to melee attackers. Consider the cost of making contact when deciding how to eliminate it.
- Cremation: A destroyed Fire Elemental damages adjacent stacks with fire. Move unnecessarily exposed allies before dealing the final blow.
