We are pushing the hit-and-run strategy of the Academy.

When fighting a hit-and-run player, it's very helpful for any faction to see the enemy slightly in advance; this is a key moment. But for the Elves, Razazak is a real problem. He can only be killed without losses with 7 stacks of Furies with items that boost initiative (a weak ballista + a hero), but only if there isn't a large stack of Golems, and only pairs. This is an unusual situation. However, the mentioned Counterspell can really save you, as you're going to be leveling up Sorcery anyway. You can also try using Chain Lightning on 5 stacks if the game is dragging on. Alternatively, you can play fast-paced maps, where Razazak doesn't stand a chance, but Leto flourishes.
