Djinn versus Black Dragon – it's a mismatch!

Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
Substantive, but slightly off-topic:D Although now it's clear that you shouldn't pit Genies against Dungeon creatures...
Then don't recruit mages:D

I never build mages at all; Haven needs strong infantry. And these mages are weak anyway.
Djinn versus Black Dragons – it’s nothing!
For your information, no magic affects Death on the Castle map. And praying mantises won't be able to "stick" to it either.
Attachment isn't magic; it's more like a "first strike" - a physical skill. It worked for me, even without the Ring of Negation. Check it out.

Yes, you're right. Sorry, I got fixated on the idea that nothing affects the Champions of the Deep, and everything is useless against them except brute force and numbers. Turns out that's not true! I just tested it myself and was pleased to see how a druid summoning mantises can tear these brutes apart.
So, it's mechanical damage. And it reduces the Champions of the Deep's movement speed. Plus, the shackles also reduce their damage output by half. But! Any action other than attacking will free the bound target. So, if you've pinned them, finish them off completely, as they say.

I mostly use sea creatures to defeat them; they work well!
