Posts from Discussion of the Academy faction (Mages and Wizards). Tactics and their specific features.

"Storm Caller" for the Thunderlords. In my opinion, it's a weak ability, but it's popular in duels, for example. So, in what situations should it be used?

Probably in situations where the enemy is trying to use "Phantoms." Otherwise, the damage from the cloud isn't that great, and it's much more effective to use regular attacks combined with "Sudden Attack" (I'm talking about duels).

Academy is a good faction. I like that you can create mini-artifacts for units. This allows you to improve their stats. You can collect more complex and powerful artifacts, which depend on the level. Among the creatures of the Academy, I don't like the Aladins (they seem to have no head), as well as the stone and obsidian gargoyles. Goblins and mages are decent units. But most of all, I liked the Colossi and Titans, Rakshasas, and Rajah Rakshasa from the Academy's creatures.

Because they hit hard?

because they are too strong-)

Can a Wizard with a sharp mind and light magic, with a skill level of around 40-50, defeat Winghael?

More specific details are needed. For example, the approximate level of the opponent, the map, the time limit, etc. But in general, I don't think it's likely.

Against Wing, it's better to combine Darkness with a sharp mind.

I think light is still better. With darkness, you can counter one unit, for example, with a berserker, but Wing (and generally, elves at that stage of the game) usually have all their attack units, meaning the remaining 6 units will still deal significant damage. With light, you can immediately strengthen your army, for example, with a stone skin, and use mini-arts to withstand Wing's attack. However, even if you have a sharp mind, IMO, Wing's larger army will still attack before your caster can act.

Well, you also need to consider which spells will be available. If there is Stone Skin and Evasion, then we take Light; if there is same-day distraction (Confusion) and Berserk and/or Subjugation, you could take Dark, but it's not particularly critical, as

most of Wing's army will still manage to move before your cast.

For Mages, summoning magic is ideal, as the ratio of Spell Power 30% and Knowledge 45% works well. Powerful and, most importantly, useful spells are produced. And if you have a sharp mind and empathy, that's a good advantage to start with.

I like mages, and I also enjoy leveling up summoning. There are always spells available, mana for them (it's a very mana-intensive school), and there's usually enough magic power. And the school itself is versatile, dominating practically at all stages of the game.

I also like to level up the Summoning skill for Mages. There are always spells available, mana for them (it's a very mana-intensive school), and there's usually enough magic power. And the school itself is versatile, dominating almost all stages of the game.

Yeah, I personally always leveled up all magic schools for my Mages. It turns out pretty well; they move faster, and they have all the spells, but you lose the "Lucky Sorcerer" and "Empathy" bonuses. I think that 1 magic school and such a "Bonus" are a worthy replacement for the other 3 magic schools, plus you need to do so much from the very beginning that your eyes get tired.

I play as a mage. I'm leveling up Hafiz, and I'm focusing on machines, education, spellcasting, and luck. I don't know which magic to choose – light or summoning. What do you recommend?

I would recommend using the summoning skill, as it allows you to create phantoms. I'm playing as the Tribes of the East, and in the final mission, I was able to multiply the number of titans.

When playing as a Wizard against a Necromancer, and having the spells Master of Light, General Evasion, Haste, Retribution Strike, and Stone Skin, what is the best order to cast them in?
