If we think about it logically, Chaos (fire) suits the Dwarves, ice suits the Necromancers, and Earth or Air suits the Elves :smile29:
Posts from Chaos magic. Is it necessary?
Auto-translated
Major Whirlwind, I completely agree. But if, instead of chaos magic, the Elves had a summoning ability as their specialty, I would level up light magic and try to get the Spell Power skill. You can't charge Phoenixes with a volley of arrows. As it is, I'm leveling up chaos magic. Without it, the volley of arrows isn't very useful. Besides, chaos magic provides a very quick effect. And you might not even live long enough to get the Spell Power skill.

That's true. But without Chaos, the enchanted arrow is useless. And what a pleasure it is to rain down arrows with "Earth Shock"! :smile54: But which magic to level up depends on the strategy. Personally, I always level up Chaos, Luck, and Machines.

Major Whirl. What is this bug with light magic?
Little One, in 3.0, reloading an arrow doesn't cost a turn. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, I charge an arrow with Meteor Shower. And then, either with Shock or Freezing Cold.
Probably, even when upgrading light magic, you can charge an arrow with Divine Vengeance. But for it to work, the enemy must deserve it. And Chaos can deprive him of this opportunity. Especially if Empathy is upgraded.
Recently, while playing through a campaign, my hero with Empathy always went before all the enemy units and heroes - necromancers.

But if I'm not mistaken, Light is needed for the Elf. And the Elf has a decent Special Ability.
But, for an Elf, pumping 2 magic schools is too much. If you're going to pump him up, it's better not to pump Chaos (IMHO).
Personally, I always pump Chaos, Luck, and Machines.
Probably, you can also charge Divine Retribution on the Light arrow during pumping. But for it to work, the enemy must deserve it. And Chaos can deprive him of this opportunity. Especially if Empathy is pumped.
I think that Summoning would look better for Elves than Chaos among the main magic schools. But the developers managed to turn zealous fans of Harmony into zealous destroyers. But here we are not talking about which magic is better, but which is more effective. That's basically it.
You can't charge Phoenixes with a Rain of Arrows. But I pump Chaos. Without it, Rain of Arrows is not very useful. Besides, Chaos gives a very quick effect.

Summoning, and even summoning followed by an attack, would be overpowered. Not to mention dark magic – everything is just brutal there.
The chance of it dropping is quite low; even sorcery drops more often than light, so the developers probably mixed up the drop rates for sorcery and the light school.

shaddar, Major Whirlwind, didn't notice the low probability of Light. At least, it was offered to me. Probably because I'm geared towards Chaos. And when they offer something you don't plan to develop instead of what you want, it's something you remember well.
Now, I'm feeling empathy not only for the Elves. It was especially cruel with Frida and Light. If you play through the campaigns of Heroes of Might and Magic in version 3.0, her specialization is like Frida from Haven (any non-damaging Light magic spell hits a random enemy with Divine Retribution).

In my opinion, the question is whether Chaos magic is needed. Of course, and I would even say it is essential. With the rain of arrows, it's something else now; the elves are cheaters))) Just need to stock up on mana, and they will be even stronger than Mages, Necromancers, and Dark Elves combined, shooting fireballs)))

I personally don't really like mages that much. Sure, they're powerful, but I prefer developing a Warrior. Although I can develop them well, and they turn out quite strong, they need more artifacts because their army isn't very powerful and gets easily defeated. But throwing a couple of fireballs, that's fun!

because the army isn't particularly strong, and they get crushed.

Do elves need the magic of the Haven faction?
It depends on who you ask. Everyone will answer this question differently, and everyone has their own opinion. Some believe yes, some believe no, some say summoning is better, others say light magic is better.
Everyone has their own point of view, and everyone has thought about their own tactics for conducting battles.
And that's why every player is unique.

Everyone has their own opinion on whether it's needed, but I still think it's not that important, they're doing well without it. Although, sometimes I might choose this skill and not regret it at all.

I find it amusing when a ballista fires arrows enchanted with Chaos spells. And since spellcasting is rare for Rangers, it makes sense to use direct attacks with Chaos spells. It's a shame, though, that summoning magic is rare for Elven heroes, but it's great when a ballista fires three shots, covering an enemy creature with Secret Crystals or mines.

I might consider taking Light, but it's frustrating that the racial skills Enchanted Arrow and Arrow Storm turn out to be completely useless.
In other words, I think that if you're leveling up a pure Elf Avenger with all the racial skills, Chaos is the only viable option!
If you do take Light, you need to forget about Enchanted Arrow and Arrow Storm.
I know about Divine Retribution (Enchanted Arrow - Divine Retribution - Arrow Storm), but there's a problem here too.
So, should you choose Blood Enemies and not attack them? Wait for them to kill you, and then use Divine Retribution on them? That doesn't sound very convincing.
