The water items are decent, but very limited. Ice devils aren't really water magic, they are blood summons, and like most of blood magic, are very useful. Sea trolls are extremely expensive for what you get out of them. A single casting of Sea King's court costs more than 55 gold per turn in upkeep. Their stats lead to them being little more than a meatshield, as they have extreme difficulty hitting elite troops. |
