Dark Elves have a high attack stat, and their units are powerful; just look at the Furies and Lizardmen. Not to mention the Dragons. Minotaurs may be slow, but if they get close and attack twice, especially with Lizardmen nearby!
Moreover, a hero with high magic skills implies a high effectiveness for their turn. Therefore, it makes sense to use both advantages,
that is, to develop a combat mage.
In this regard, it seems logical to develop a lucky wizard.
