Depending on the circumstances of your reply, I might give it some thought....

Armageddon's Blade is a powerful artifact, but it's more interesting to play without it.

A long time ago, I realized I didn't understand how the art sphere of vulnerability works, and I definitely didn't like how it functioned. Now I understand the principle, and a question arose: why was it made this way? Why was such a crazy art effect created? (The option with throwing it – it's brilliant, I would never have come up with it). - Armageddon's Blade - my generator doesn't seem to generate it at all. It never appears, but I agree – it's terrible.

Armageddon's Blade is a beast of an artifact; it's better to play without it, it will be more interesting.

To crush your opponent with Armageddon, you don't necessarily need the blade. It's enough to build a guild up to level 4 and grab a unit (or units) that are immune to magic in general or fire magic in particular. This technique is quite often used, which the above case confirms.

...and the question arose - why did they make it like this? What was the point of creating such a crazy art style?

It's a normal art style, actually. If you understand how it works, you can use it to your advantage... The only problem is that it wasn't fully programmed, it's a bit buggy, but there's nothing you can do about it now. Let's consider these bugs as features... :)

I agree, let's consider them as features. Tonight, I'll play and try it out. I have this art, but my opponent runs around with Phoenixes – will it work?

- Another question arose: if the opponent has the Blade of Armageddon, how does it work as protection against another Armageddon? I've never encountered it.

So, a question arose - if the opponent has the Armageddon's Blade, how does it work as protection against another Armageddon's Blade? I haven't encountered this situation before.

Two Armageddon's Blades won't protect each other... Definitely not... :)

But in reality, I'm not an online player... I can't be of much help here, but when it comes to theory, I have a link to a Heroes III reference guide in my signature; I think any question will be answered there. And if not, just ask here. We'll figure it out together...

If this spell is cast by the artifact's wielder, it affects all units on the battlefield. If it's cast by an opponent, it affects all enemy units and only those of their own troops that would be affected even without the Sphere.

The catch is that he could cast Armageddon with the exact same disastrous result for himself! :D That's why I clarified the point... And you're right about everything else... :D

As I understand it from what was said above, he couldn't cast Armageddon without harming the dragons.
