The most powerful magic is definitely earth. First, it's slow (you're always one step ahead of the enemy, as even Suvorov said, because the first strike is very important). I'm not even talking about the explosion, restoration, and meteor shower. And the city portal is just a lifesaver! Plus, summoning an earth elemental is the coolest of all possible summons! :smile02:

Everyone seems to be choosing Earth...
But I'm going with Water – it offers healing, teleportation, forgetfulness, spell removal, and, of course, a clone with prayer!

Also, summoning an Earth elemental is the coolest of all possible summons!!!:smile02:

But I disagree here – the coolest is the Fire elemental – do I need to explain why, or will you figure it out yourself?

I'm for "earth" based on all the arguments provided above. The explosion, slowness, and city portal are definitely the best +)))

I disagree here – the coolest fire creature is… do I need to explain why, or will you figure it out yourself?

Explain it to me, maybe I'll understand? :D
I know that the stats of earth creatures don't match their level, and the game sometimes puts level 3 earth creatures in random maps, but why? – I don't know. But why do you think they are weaker than fire creatures, when fire creatures aren't the strongest at their level either...?

As for water – I doubt you'd use this secondary skill at the beginning of the game, although overall, it's quite good... :)

Well, firstly, it has a speed of 6.
Secondly, it has immunity to fire:rolleyes:, while the earth elemental doesn't.
Should I tell you about Armageddon's Day?:p :p
True, it's the fastest air element, but that's another story...
The earth elemental is slow and weak... The only thing is its vulnerability to water...

Ps Ley, don't forget to look at the topic first:D :D :D

In short, it looks like this:
earth elemental----------fire elemental
At) 10 ---------- 10
Def) 10 ---------- 8
Dam) 4-8 ---------- 4-6
HP) 40 ---------- 35
Sp) 4 ---------- 6

Assuming a comparison of magic, for example, an expert fire elemental against an expert earth elemental, who do you think will win?
The fire elemental may be weaker, but definitely not by much, even though it's a lower rank.
But its specialization and speed more than make up for it.

Yes, earth is good, no doubt. It's definitely the best.
But I like WATER.
and besides, the blessing often compensates for the slowdown at the beginning.

Okay, let's stop here ;), but I'll make a small correction:

Not water, but earth :)

But I like WATER.
And besides, the blessing often replaces the slow effect in the early game.

This is really a matter of different game situations; everyone who responded is right in their own way, and overall, everyone knows what? How? And at what cost? :)
By the way, I also really like water, but I won't say anything bad – I voted for air...

I'll just correct you a little:
Not water, but earth :)

No need to correct, I just wrote everything down – I mean the weakness to fire...

That's what the poll is for, so that everyone can express and even argue their point of view.

Okay, let's stop here ;)

Okay, otherwise we'll start comparing elements:p :p

My favorites are air and water. I play mostly as Haven, and they almost always have a powerful prayer spell, and dispelling magic is useful for everyone. Don't forget about healing, weakness, bless, and clone (I annoyed my friend by cloning a group of 15 archangels:smile08:), and teleport (who said that knights don't participate in taking castles?:smile10:). As for air, my favorite spells are haste, lightning, and destroy undead, which has saved me many times in battles against other players (and why does everyone love undead so much?:confused:), and there's also flight and dimension door.
Earth is in third place with its slows, shields, stone skins, city portal, antimagic, and earthquake (I maxed out earth, and catapults are no longer needed).
Fire... it's not bad, but I rarely use it, only when I play as Inferno, and even then, not always.

Personally, I level up all types of magic that I come across – if I’m playing as a mage. I don’t buy any spellbooks at all – if I’m playing as a warrior.

That's silly. If you're so principled that you don't want to spoil your skills with magical abilities, then don't – you don't need Wisdom to learn the 1st and 2nd levels, and magic can sometimes be very useful even for a Warrior. ;)

I love "Armageddon's Blade". I remember in one random mission, I found a random artifact – the Armageddon's Blade! I was blown away.

Good spells can be found everywhere, but I especially like Earth magic (for Meteor Shower, Explosion, and Portal) and Air magic (for its devastating lightning).

I like combining air and earth. Both slowing and speeding up are useful. Also, there's incredibly powerful combat magic that affects multiple targets at once or just one. Plus, flight and astral gates (am I mistaken? isn't that air?), and teleportation to the castle.
And, of course, blinding is very important, as are some blessings and the destructive beam.
