Since we've started talking about magic, tell me which magic you think is the best and why, which magic you use most often and why, and how magic has sometimes saved seemingly impossible battles!

Since my favorite Castle is Fortress and I mainly play as Barbarians, I have to choose only one element, and that's water. Blink, dispel, healing, teleport, forgetfulness, weakness, walk on water...
Only fire and berserk can save an impossible battle (when you're facing 7 stacks of 500 units each), because it affects 5 stacks at once, and they start attacking each other.
Earth and air are more useful on the global map... or for starting heroes with Meteor Shower and Tea Kettle, because of the strong imbalance.

My favorites are water and fire. The most essential, especially in campaigns (where strategy, not tactics, matters), are earth and air.

Water, of course :)

Each magic spell is useful in a specific situation. There is no universally applicable magic!:p

Earth magic is the best magic! Without such spells as: - basic spells - mass slow - bog - resurrection - castle teleport auxiliary spells: - meteor shower - explosion you will hardly be able to quickly complete a map, as well as defeat a very strong and numerous enemy with a small number of troops! Don't forget about air magic: Spells: - flight - flying spell have always been considered one of the best spells in the game! As for fire: - berserk Water: - clone Sincerely, VDV_forever

Personally, I always choose Earth and Air, sometimes Water, and very rarely Fire, because I rarely use Berserk. City Portal and Teleportation are the best spells in Heroes of Might and Magic III!

Yesterday, I was playing a map as the Vikings, and it took me 4.5 months to complete it. If it weren't for the "Year's Portal," I probably wouldn't have won!

Fire isn't as cool as the other elements! I mainly use air and earth! Sometimes water... Water has useful spells like dispel, healing, clone, and teleport...

No, you know, I mostly use Blessing and Prayer in water, but I rarely use the others!

Oh! I forgot about prayer... thanks for the reminder!

The best magic is earth magic because: 1. Resurrection 2. Explosion 3. Portal to the city 4. Death rattle (if playing as Necropolis) But I think all magic types are good, and the best magic system is in Heroes 4.

Yes, once, the path to the objective was blocked by a bunch of Chaos Hydras... I just killed all the enemies and sat there, building up my army. And then I wiped out several thousand of these hydras... I don't remember if it was with magic or not.
Magic won't help much against dragons.
But in a really difficult battle, the tactic is to use spells from different schools; I don't even know which ones.

But you could have used Astral Gates to teleport past them.

Or use flight! And against Hydras, you can use the following tactic: apply a general slow effect, and that's it... Wait and shoot them from a distance; you can also speed up your troops and run away from the Hydras!

I was playing as Conflux. Are those spells available there?
