Dirael is great here too. 1. Summoning, elemental equilibrium, fire elementals. 2. Leadership with a speed aura and a forest leader. 3. Attack. It depends on the situation. If you've found good movement for your units, it's excellent. Take Vengeance and mass haste. And finding boots is quite possible. 4. Logistics with keen mind. 5. Luck with magic resistance and soldier's luck. First, cast mass haste and move forward. I think elves shouldn't have any problems with mages. They are a convenient opponent.
