1) It’s not necessarily an advantage; I didn’t list slowing/weakening/strengthening spells for no reason. Their role is to buy time for the hero by reducing the enemy’s damage by a significant amount, not to kill their troops.
2) It’s not necessary to repeat them; you can play using the ones that remain. They gave you Skin – okay. They gave you Curse – you countered it with Blessing. They gave you Slow – it went without a counter. We move on to the next stage, to the killing spells. If we only play with support spells, the 3rd school is definitely not needed.
Area-of-effect Stone Skin reduces the damage received by 2-2.5 times. Area-of-effect Slow reduces the enemy’s initiative to 30-40%. If both of these support spells are active, no combat skills will be needed for the Archmage to survive.
