Elves are garbage... and weaklings on top of that. Get to them with anyone, and they're dead.

Quite the harsh opinion. Sorry, but not every archer shoots twice, and even then, with such a powerful counterattack (YES, ELVES HAVE RECOIL LIKE AN AK-47!!!). On towers, they are monsters. Tigers lose to them, that's clear to everyone. You only build tigerlings when resources are scarce... But if you have room to expand, elves are simply the better choice without a second thought!
"Get to them with anyone, and they're dead" - this applies to everyone. There's no strategy here.

Wow, that's some serious firepower. Sorry, but not every archer shoots twice, and even less can deal such damage (AND ELVES HAVE RECOIL LIKE AN AK-47!!!). They are monsters on towers. Tigers lose to them, that's clear to everyone. You only build tiger units when resources are scarce... But if you have enough resources, elves are the obvious choice!
"Reach them with any unit, and they'll be dead" - this applies to everyone. There's no strategy here.

Archers, like mages, are weak in terms of armor. Nature needs elves more than tigers! Lucari are great! :D :cool:

I believe that every army should have at least one archer. In the Sylvan faction, it's an elf, and we shouldn't deny them that. We need to try to find a way to get some wood.

I believe that every army should have at least one archer. In the case of Sylvan, it's an elf, and we shouldn't deny them that. We need to try to make room for trees.

Even the Sylvan faction itself is represented by an ELF!!!:D
So let's not ruin the image! :D
And on the battlefield, without an archer, it feels a bit... uncomfortable! :D :cool:

Especially without it. This is practically a Titan :D Two shots don't appear on the road just like that... to pass by such an opportunity... means to sabotage your own victory, to deprive yourself of SUCH power!

...That's almost a Titan :D ...

It's like... jumping off a table after overeating???:D
Elves-Griffins-Drakes, that's the best combination! :D :cool:

Because the Titan deals double damage, and the Elves do too. The only difference is in their level, but the tactic is the same!

Elf, griffin, dragon – definitely! 4 wings are better than 2, and elves are great archers. Although, I usually focus on elementals for nature factions (especially when the hero has a maximum summoning skill). Among elementals, I prefer fire and earth. Well, and sometimes I hire ogres, but only when I have money to spare...

Yes, for summoning elementals, rings of elementals are better, and wishing isn't the best option... but I like water elementals the most, followed by air.

AHA! Water magic, plus the illusory nature and mobility of air magic!
Yes, it's not bad in principle! But praying mantises are somehow more appealing! :D :cool:

Well, I didn't play the fourth game very much, so I don't even really know the unique abilities of each element (if they even exist), but Earth will have more health, and Fire, honestly, I just really like its appearance, especially with its "paws" :)

I think Phoenixes are underrated, especially against Chaos.

question: does fire immunity reduce damage from dragon's breath, fire elemental, etc.?

water units are still better, magic is important, after all.
fire and wind are in second place, storm is good because of its speed and decent strength, fire is just a simple archer.
earth is a complete failure... wind is much better, the stats are almost the same, speed, and if I'm not mistaken, storm arrows are worse than stone arrows...

question: does fire immunity reduce damage from dragon's breath, fire elemental, etc.?

Exactly. There's some percentage involved... it all depends on what gave you the immunity. An artifact or a potion (potions seem to give 25%). It also helps against Ifrits and their fire aura. :)

Well, I haven't played the fourth game much, so I don't even really know the unique abilities of each element (if they even exist), but earth will have more health, and I just really like the fire element's appearance, especially with its "paws."

A lot also depends on personal preference... and how well you've played with them. Maybe the earth element is also good; I just prefer water.
All the elements have Elementals (i.e., they are immune to a number of different spells, like Poison and others, which usually cannot be used against Undead), but there are also UNIQUE abilities, and here they are:
1. Water (HP 38, damage 6-9) - elemental + mage (i.e., casts spells like Quicksand, Ice Bolt, Weakness, and Fatigue) + cold resistance (immunity and thus takes less damage from cold attacks) + cold attack (i.e., even in melee). I also want to note that there are no limits to Ice Bolts, and it always fires, even in melee.
2. Air (HP 40, damage 6-10) - elemental + flight + ethereal (i.e., 100% protection in ranged and melee combat)
3. Earth (HP 50, damage 9-14) - elemental + magic resistance and less damage from direct damage spells (like Chaos)
4. Fire (HP 50, 7-10) - elemental + ranged attacker (but in melee, they only deal half the normal ranged damage)

So, we draw conclusions. But the water element definitely has more bonuses!

I think Phoenixes are being underestimated, especially against Chaos.

Phoenixes are only better because magic dragons can't cast spells on Chaos Day... but Phoenixes aren't that great either, since Ifrits and Chaos Dragons have immunity to fire... although Phoenixes do too... )
