Don't blame the lack of balance for your mistakes. Warriors dominate this map. The fact that there are black dragons here, which cannot be defeated with magic, should have made that clear.
The failures of mages in the arenas are explained not only by the general weakness of mages, but primarily by the weakness of their primary stats. You need to invest more in stat-boosting items! Who stopped you from equipping, for example, dragon armor?
The balance has certainly shifted even more in favor of warriors. But it has always been this way in Heroes. Magic damage is fixed, while unit damage is differentiated. The essence has not changed.
And Thorgrim's resistance is already reduced. As are the levels of Mephala and Tazar in the arena. That is, they were already thinking about balancing warriors in the arena.
You need to learn, I started the same way...
That's all true. But we're talking about something else. Today, the Warrior class is becoming almost mandatory, even for a mage. Because the Sage class turns out to be weaker. The exception is only maps with a small number of castles and the Titan's Mail. It's clear that if there's also a Potion of Life, then only 7th-level troops are needed.
I think that the Sage should have their magic power increased by +6, +10, +14. Then, even without increasing knowledge (intelligence is still there!), there will be balance!!!
