Posts from ASW – Alternative hero leveling. Auto-translated

What about evasion? Hmm. It remains a single target ability without Battle Dodge. Any ideas on what would be a logical follow-up?

I suggest a defensive ward after evasion. Because a ward is easier to maintain against ranged attackers (position yourself, and it starts firing).

And update the topic's "header" already; it's inconvenient to search for your options throughout the entire topic.

Cities shouldn't be created just to freely distribute Chaos without a guild (like the casualization in Heroes 6).

I don't quite understand the meaning of the phrase. Chaos comes from the guild, and the reduced amount (because it's not native to the city) can be compensated for by leveling up (Mysteries) and starting spells. I didn't suggest any other bunch of perks that give Chaos. A high-level Chaos elf won't be able to get without external objects. And he doesn't need to: you still have to earn Meteorite under Rain.

A rain of arrows under Meteor Shower. Shock under the rain. And the entire battlefield, strewn with fire? Only a rain of arrows with Berserk under a curse can compare in epicness.

So, isn't Berserk supposed to be in Darkness? And Blindness? And why should epicness be achieved so easily? What value does it have then?

A demon in Light – that's interesting. But an elf in Chaos under a rainstorm – that's nothing special, just a standard thing.

Besides, what does an elf need it for? Alpha troops are fast and have high attack. There's no time to waste on summoning.

A comedian? If you played Heroes of Might and Magic, you wouldn't ask such questions.

Summoning is:
1) wasps (if they have a decent knockback). Wasps control the enemy very well while high-initiative elves take care of him. And wasps under a rain of spells will give an edge to any Chaos.

2) mines - no comment

3) crystal

4) phantoms on blue archers

5) fan - again, a blocker that blocks archers for free

Summoning for an elf is everything, with the right use of spells.

But what does WGE have to do with it? (A few question mark emojis up to China would be helpful here, as is currently fashionable).

Summoning isn't needed for mines.

The blue arrows will be completely blocked, and there will be nowhere for a phantom to spawn.

Elves have 2 tactics: either crush everything in the early rounds or close up, which Light and Chaos help with.

Don't forget that summoning depends on magic. Chaos also depends on it, but the sheer number of units compensates.
By the way, only the Hive and Wasps have a natural summoning ability, and they also deal damage.

Even though the essence of the Elves hasn't changed in the game – they remain as high-initiative, first-strike units, etc. And all these tactical nuances of Summoning fit perfectly with that.
We're talking about the guild now. The Summoning guild provides more useful spells in Summoning.
But who's to blame if you close them off so much? I'll put a Phantom in the attack and take control.

I have a couple of thoughts about the Elf and Summoning, maybe someone will find them useful.
Firstly, you can enhance Fist and Hive. Hive, I must say, is already a very pleasant spell due to its pushing effect on the turn order, and if the damage is slightly increased, no one will be ashamed to cast it on volleys of arrows. Fist can be made a higher-level spell (although I don't know what to do with the first level of Summoning then).

I have an idea to allow positive spells to be cast on arrows and then fire them at your own units. Then it would be great: cast Phantom on an arrow and – bam – three or four Phantoms. And it wouldn't be completely overpowered, as your own units would suffer.

By nature, in Summoning, besides wasps and the Hive, there are also elementals, a phoenix, and an earthquake.

I'll be watching you when a vampire flies into your hole.

A vampire? In a rush attack? Are you kidding?

In the final stage, you can act similarly, depending on the chosen tactic. The question is whether the opponent can counter the Phantom with area-of-effect Chaos or arrows in time. If not, then it's game over.

Could these spells be moved to other schools?

As I said, the phantom will come with the perk, and the elf won't need it to be summoned.
