Only darkness and chaos are reflected. 4-5 balls don't always mean death for the Jalib, which is bad, but not critical (single mages can stand separately), but the Dire will run out of mana for the battle. Yes, dealing with resistance through artifacts is difficult, but you can balance direct attacks on this stack with troops and attack the remaining troops with the Dire. It's even worse if it's a large stack of mages; you simply need to attack them with the Hive, practically without any damage.
I don't know how to deal with obstacles.
