You can create an illusion of elementals, hide behind it, and then gradually strengthen the illusion. If you need to defeat a few elementals with arrows or fists.
It's better to consider the case where both mages have armor, but can't fight, otherwise it's not interesting:)
If you hide behind an illusion, the druid will increase the number of summoned creatures, and his mage won't be able to outdo him, he'll create a large squad and that's it, goodbye mage...
Any more arguments?:) :rolleyes:

Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
