If the hero is Wingael, then you can use Rain to deal hit-and-run damage yourself.
Anyway, thanks for the answers. I already knew everything you wrote.
Here's another question: What do you prefer to build at level 9 of a Castle (this often happens when starting with a Castle of level 2-3, I don't remember exactly)? Druids, Unicorns, increased income, or +50% to income? I usually lean towards the latter because I save up a lot for archers.
I still don't quite understand how to use Deadly Shot effectively...
I'd also like to know how you deal with Dark Magic, which the Demon always casts on me! Subjugation, Blindness, and Berserk. + Temptation from Succubus.
