Gently Murderous Winter?

A couple of flames from afar due to their weakness to fire? Not too useful using artillery spells against a few, high health units unless they are extremely costly(well equipped SCs and such) so i wouldnt even bother casting unless he has a VERY large army.

Vs. Niefelheim? I doubt Beckoning would be cost-effective, given their high MR. Leprosy would help, but take forever to kill them. Flames From The Sky doesn't kill them but can sometimes give afflictions (you'd probably need 2 or 3 to actually kill more than 10% or so of the units).

Niefelheim is basically not vulnerable to artillery spells. You could try assassination spells instead, or battlefield enchantments like Plague (Woundflame) and Astral Tempest (on teleporting SCs if necessary).

As something of a Niefel expert-or atleast a Niefel madman-the worst low-level thing we regularly encouter is Curse. It has regular success even against high MR, it targets Niefel Jarls as well as troops, and it makes those expensive, melee giants more vulnerable to afflictions. It won't kill a giant by itself, but enough of them will hurt a lot, in the long run.
