Which magic is better – fire or water? Many would say that fire is better. But if the question is: which magic is better in a battle against Conflux – fire or water? The answer would be – water.

No, fire can also help; you can even curse (poor archers:D) and use Bloodlust, and there are many other options...;)

Another example – in a battle against a legion of dendroids, the best magic is not “earth,” but “fire.” The Berserk spell permanently binds the enemy to one spot. After that, the legion is easily destroyed even by a single archer in “autobattle” mode (with a cart, of course)... Start the “autobattle” and go to sleep. By morning, the job is done! :)

See! Learn fire, and you can sleep soundly!:)

that's why Sarumyan knows that Conflux needs to be cursed... and they become insignificant.

Wow, according to the votes, fire magic is neck and neck with air!
Hooray!!! :D Fire forever!

IMHO, fire spells are the best, with Armageddon and Inferno being the most effective. As for Earth, the Explosion spell can be excluded, as it doesn't always appear on the map.

All schools of magic are good, but Air and Earth are the best.

I've always enjoyed the combination of Earth and Air! It's like a powerful, travel-oriented magic!
But any magic is useless against the Sphere of Inhibition!

P.S. Sometimes there's a problem with barriers when you're standing on Cursed Earth! Once, in a tournament, 60-70% of the map was covered with it! Luckily, I was playing as Barbarians...

Definitely the best combination. With these well-developed schools, I could traverse a large map from one edge to the other in a single turn! They have the most useful spells. It was so cool to use spells to quickly summon reinforcements and return to the same spot in one turn!:D :D :D

No, Berserk is better, IMO.

If I'm not mistaken, you can cast "Antimagic" on a creature with Berserk. And the point of that spell is immediately lost.

Berserk can target up to 7 units, while antimagic only targets one...

Whether you're a mage or not, Wisdom is still essential because no matter how cool a Barbarian you are, it's very, very difficult to win without teleportation and a gate to the castle!

By the way! One person I know very well didn't acknowledge magic at all; rather, he didn't delve into its essence and practically didn't use it! (except for some lightning spells :o). The most interesting thing is that he completed all the campaigns and maps (XL accordingly). The only thing... he had a very, very hard time with the map "Islands and Caves" (I think) - with its many small islands and caves. In the end, he completed it! :p

Exactly, Air and Earth are the coolest! Not only is it great to travel with them (Teleport, Town Portal – these are generally the best spells – Flight), but also during battles – it’s so great to slow down enemies (if your ranged units are stronger) or speed up your own (if your ranged units are weaker); and resurrecting is also very useful.
I also like the magic of Water – mass prayer is very cool! It speeds up and strengthens units significantly. Mass forgetfulness often helps. Mass blessing is a very powerful ability. And, of course, mass healing and removing enchantments are very helpful!
But, in my opinion, fire magic is weak. Berserk in an area is cool, you can sometimes use sacrifice effectively, but it can’t compete with the other schools.

Any hero can complete any map without magic... So there's nothing surprising here... It's just a matter of time. And time is money :)
