Posts from How to deal with Lethos’s plague (Dark Elf)?

Hello everyone! Can you suggest which artifacts, skills, spells, and units will help me defeat Lethos? (Plague!) The map is large, and we'll meet at high levels! Also, please advise on a strategy against a Warlock!

Light magic has not been canceled yet. Removing the plague curse is a great way to heal. And the tactics will be more similar to the tactics against a demon, as the main force will be dark magic. So, we definitely need light (preferably with antimagic, curse removal, and teleport). Also, you need to consider the greater danger of hit-and-run compared to a demon. A lot of heroes with agile units can eliminate many units, so be careful. Countermeasures: 1) a rain of arrows with keen mind and cursed agile units (if you're lucky, you can take down a hit-and-run unit in one shot without losses) 2) you can also invest in dark magic yourself and take the cursed lands perk or the unholy word spell (and vampirism will help in battle). Then plague, mind control, and berserk will not be a problem) 3) if the hero is Wingael, leveled up in speed, then all your units will reach his agile units before they move.

Thanks for the quick response! My hero is Wing, so hit-and-run tactics probably won't work. I'm afraid that by level 30, at the beginning of the battle, he'll cast Lethargy on everyone, and then he'll start throwing Berserk and Dominate spells while I'm trying to remove the Plague. Against Plague, I'll make Unicorns with an aura. I found the armor of the Forgotten Hero; it's tempting to take the Magic Resistance bonus, but then my Attack skill will suffer. I don't know what to do. I also want to find a cloak with Earth Damage resistance so that Plague does less damage to me. Otherwise, I don't know what else to come up with. Any advice?

To be honest, I don't understand your concern at all. Given the conditions you described, you shouldn't just win, you should completely crush Leto. There's no need to worry about the plague; by level 30, you should have a sizable army, and the plague deals very little damage (even if Leto's spellcasting is at level 30, it's only 272 damage over 4 turns). Besides, you have Wing, so half of his army will be eliminated before they even get a chance to move.
Regarding upgrades, I definitely recommend focusing on light magic, logistics, attack, and defense. You'll have one free slot left, and I would skip special abilities (although if you have a mentor, you could take it) and instead choose leadership with a speed aura and retribution, which guarantees that most of your units will attack on the first turn and deal massive damage thanks to retribution.
In short, the outcome of the battle should be decided in the very first turns, and when Leto's turn comes, he will only have remnants of his army left, and no berserkers or mind control will save the situation, and they can be dispelled with light magic.

If the hero is Wing, and he's level 30, then a Dark Elf definitely won't be a problem for him. As SAF wrote, by that time, the plague won't do any damage anymore; he'll be able to cast Berserk only 1-2 times, if at all. You just need to level him up like this: attack - Battle Fury, tactics, retribution, leadership - rally, aura of speed, elven leadership (preferably take it later), luck - soldier's luck, magic resistance, elven luck. Even light isn't necessary. The rest is up to you. The main thing is that your army moves before his hero's, and some units will even have time to move several times. When his hero's turn comes, he will have almost nothing left. This has been tested many times. You can look at the neighboring topics. Wing is considered one of the overpowered heroes.

Only cheaters and noobs play Wingom.

And also Necromancer, Hafiz, Ingvar, Haggesh, Karl, Vittorio, Daleb, Dugal...

luck - soldier's luck, magic resistance, elven luck.

I wouldn't take luck without СА (I don't like relying on randomness), but it's not up to us to decide)
If you think about it, you can take Darkness as the fifth skill: the map is large, so there's a high probability of finding the necessary spells, and then not only Letos will be throwing berserks/subordinations, but he will also be very surprised when he opens the spellbook and sees two red inscriptions there - Seal of Darkness and Weakness of Darkness.

Wing is considered one of the overpowered heroes.

Did you say that?

And also, Necromancers.

Don't say that, Necromancers aren't cheaters, they just dominate on most maps.

They are overpowered, Wing is overpowered, Inga is overpowered, and so on. So, either we list half of the standard heroes, a couple of factions, and part of the skill wheel as cheaters,
or we accept the game balance as it is.

So, please, let's not jump to conclusions and make statements like "Only cheaters and noobs play Wingom." What heroes they play is their business. Umka asked for advice, and we gave it.

Generally, Fire Elementals are stronger than Warlocks; I'll post a build against Leathos soon.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it!

Here's a build, give it a try, it should work:

The idea is to suppress the plague from the very beginning, and to prevent him from casting Darkness on you. You can also upgrade Blessing and Seal of Darkness to "Seal" the ailment.
