I'm facing a difficulty: fighting enemy hero-mages at the beginning of the game. After taking my first town and first fort, two angel heroes appear. They have low threat and insignificant stats, but they inflict huge losses on my army with mass spells. Moreover, the same Chain Lightning spell counts as four attacks and immediately negates the armor bonus of the Guardian.
I'm playing as a Warrior of maximum level, equipped with Tears, and fully dressed in the Guardian set. If I somehow manage to kill the first enemy hero, losing almost my entire army, the second one simply finishes me off.
Even with my army's superior strength, the enemy survives long enough, using healing spells and racial abilities, to cast three or four powerful spells. As a result, my army is almost gone.
When I stormed the first fort, the defending enemy angel hero used a regular Lightning spell once and a standard attack the second time.
But those two that appear afterward simply punish me with mass spells.
I had a similar problem at the beginning of the third mission for Inferno, but there was only one enemy, and I somehow managed to defend myself.
But here, I have no idea how to play. The difficulty is normal, and I passed the rest of the game with almost no difficulty
