Ranger – “Defense” [Campaign 5, Mission 3]

Now I'm wondering if I should continue?

I didn't have to think for long. Two turquoise heroes arrived at the same time. I managed to defeat the first one, but I didn't have enough strength for the second.

I started over. This time, I left Ilfina in the capital, and sent Faidaen to conquer cities. I only took 6 dragons and Ilfina's starting squad on the expedition. I left everything else, including the clover I received as a bonus, with the inexperienced girl. She justified the trust placed in her.

Faidaen had a tough time. This time, only one turquoise hero arrived, but he was stronger than the two that came last time. I only defeated him after two reloads. This was the most difficult battle in this mission.

I had to wait for the second one. By that time, Faidaen already had a decent army. He defeated the third and fourth on their way to their castle. After capturing the Necropolis castle, he freed the prisoners. I immediately received a cutscene and a message about completing the task.

Immediately after capturing the first castle, I bought another hero and sent him to the sea to collect debris. Then he delivered reinforcements to Ilfina. On his way to the Necropolis castle, Faidaen called for reinforcements from the capital if necessary, using a spell.

I wanted to quickly buy high-level Necropolis heroes, but they turned out to be teetotalers. Only one hero of level 17 entered the tavern. He followed Faidaen and collected artifacts. Then he stayed in his native castle. Heroes of level 24 did not enter the tavern.

You can't keep many dragons in the capital. When I added 2 dragons to the 8 already there, the mission ended immediately. This was after freeing the prisoners. I had to reload because I wanted the former prisoners to visit all the upgrade places and collect all the spells from the three castles. Both are level 28, while the mission limit is 24.

In the first missions, Faidaen was never offered magic of light. When he was offered magic of chaos here, I decided that it's better to have chaos in hand than light in the sky. I recommend it to fans of special effects. A rain of three arrows charged with meteor shower looks no worse than Armageddon. But, when used correctly, it doesn't affect your own troops. And the shock of earth also looks pretty good. Faidaen received Chain Lightning, Magic Bolt, and Shock Wave in this mission. He only lacks Armageddon. But an elf doesn't really need it.
