Heroes 6 - Discussion

There are situations where it's useful. Eliminating magic archers (liches, snow maidens) or elementals (when capturing a fortress).

But is this spell worth investing skill points in if such situations only occur two or three times throughout the entire game?

Well, that's if you drag the game out too long...

And I always drag the game out. What's the point of playing if you don't have time to experience all the nuances of the game? To cast cool spells, get powerful artifacts, stage a massive battle... Unless you just want to compete to see who can win faster. But that's not for me. For the same reason, I hated the AI in Heroes 5. It just wouldn't let you savor the map – it was always aggressive, even if it knew it would get crushed.
