Posts from Which level of magic do you use the most (Heroes of Might and Magic III)? Auto-translated

Chain Lightning is certainly good, but I don't like Inferno, both in general and compared to other powerful spells. As a damage-dealing spell, it's not very strong, and I prefer to deal a lot of damage to a single target rather than a little damage to multiple targets. The exception, of course, is Chain Lightning – it not only deals significant damage to one target but also hits nearby enemies quite hard. But overall, I think a fourth-level prayer spell is better. It might not be a direct damage spell, but it provides huge advantages.

I'll try to guess what the meaning of the post was:
"I most often use 4th-level magic," right?
A small comment: with small armies, damaging spells are definitely the best, but with large armies, buffing/debuffing or tactical spells are better... but I think that with a large army, "cloning" will be more effective than "prayer"...
Prayer is essentially a mix of haste + stone skin + blessing, but with a slightly smaller effect than the expert versions of these spells.

No, I didn't mean that I would use more 4th-level spells, but rather 1st-level spells. With a clone on large armies? Well... only if phoenixes go first and you immediately clone them, but otherwise, I'll stick to my original plan – prayer.

Here, the discussion shifted more towards individual spells rather than the overall level. (Off-topic)

But they are part of the guild levels.

I prefer level 4 spells. That's where you find such great spells as: Berserk, Restoration, Inferno, Chain Lightning, and so on.

If I'm playing as Necropolis, I choose Resurrection of the Dead (that's why it's my 3rd level spell). I don't like losing my warriors. But in general, level 4 is the most useful: Meteor Storm – powerful, deals equal damage to locally positioned units. Chain Lightning – I just like it. Prayer – a small speed boost allows higher-level units (4-7) to attack immediately, and it also provides a stat increase. Berserk – a cheat spell, useful in any situation.

I agree with the argument that powerful combat spells lose their effectiveness as the army grows. So, in my opinion, the 5th level is only needed for the "Door" and "Fly" spells.
Otherwise, the 4th level is clearly better – resurrection, portal to the town, prayer (which no one has mentioned), and Berserk.

Oh! People actually talk about prayer. (off-topic)

Explosion is the best! Especially when you have a lot of mana...:rolleyes:

I don't know, not always. For example, at the very beginning, it's better to cast some magic on your troops than an attack spell. I cast attack spells when my army is already buffed or the enemy army is debuffed. I remember a battle when the opponent casts slow on me, and I cast haste. He casts slow on me again, and I cast haste.:D

The explosion deals a lot of damage, but unfortunately, it only affects one monster.

I'm not saying it's bad. It's definitely powerful, but... I often find myself preferring speed boosts or slowdown effects instead.
And what do you think about such a "wonder" as the Mirror?

I don't like the Mirror spell; I prefer to clearly plan who and when to attack. Moreover, it's very difficult to guess what the opponent will use, and spending a magic turn to protect a single unit, especially when it's unclear from what, seems irrational to me. There are many other spells that provide a guaranteed result.

Question... if I cast Mirror Image on myself during an online game, can my opponent see it?

I'm not sure, but all spells are displayed for all players, so it's probably the same with Mirror Image. I can see it when the computer casts it.
