Heroes of the Academy - Academy

The Academy has two weak heroes that are rarely chosen because their abilities provide a weak or strange advantage compared to other heroes – these are Faiz and Jalib. First, Faiz – he starts with Dark Magic and focuses on upgrading "Destructive Ray." Let's set aside the tedious solo play and focus on online play: what's the point of weakening enemies and dealing micro-damage when it's difficult to level up in the early game (1-2 weeks), as mages don't have particularly powerful troops at the start, and it's unclear why this weak damage with reduced armor is needed later on. Of course, I understand that defenders will jump in and praise both the hero and his amazing ability, but the fact remains: I haven't encountered a GG Faiz online even once – draw your own conclusions. We can discuss who and how levels him up, or even better, how to use his ray to maximize its benefits.

If you don't understand, Lucretia specializes in vampires. At high levels, her vampires are very strong.

I understand perfectly well; I used to play Necromancers often and am familiar with all their features, but I don't see any particular advantage, to be honest. One vampire at the start won't get you far, and any hero becomes strong with a large number of units, but not so much because of Lucretia, but because of the vampires themselves. Not every unit can teleport across the map, attack without retaliation, and heal itself – and do all of this at once. Let's say we have Lucretia with 50 vampires and Jalib with 50 vampires, both at level 20 – of course, Lucretia will defeat Jalib because the +10 to attack and defense will play a role, but mages often go against Necromancers with Chaos, and here this advantage will play absolutely no role – magic damage is not reduced by physical defense.
