What SC do you wish for?

How many F1S1 mages are there? I personally see this more as the ultimate chaff clearing tool. It seems like it has the potential to clear out Ermorian hordes very quickly. The problem is that there are better spells for that.

I'm having trouble classifying 10AN+AoE50 as a "weak" attack. It may not be the strategy to take down packs of giants or to eliminate thugs, but against -most- chaff, it is extremely brutal.

If you have access to E+S mages, you only need an F1 as the master, as if you have enough slaves to distribute your fatigue, you are only worried about afflictions, not actual death. Thus, a Crystal Matrix allows you to use very cheap mages (if you have access), and you can theoretically clear quite a lot of chaff.

Note, this is probably mostly only of use for a nation who has access to FR troops, that can handle the bombs going off near your own lines.

It's AP, so the first explosion will probably just get the chaff down to 4 hp.

Once, I tried some abuse with Abysia and phoenix power in single player, and got very surprised when my fire immune troops got hurt. Turns out it's not fire damage at all. Just looks and tastes and smells like it. Old post with screenie of abysians and phoenix pyre.

Well hot diggity. You see, apparently it's "explosive" damage, which is kinetic.

Thanks mivayan!

I was about to try myself some exploding Abysians!

Just teleport your sacred statue to a land province you own (preferably with a lab in it already). You can't buy a sacred status with less than 3S, and it's already amphibious.

You might be mixing it up with the Sphinx, which really can't move. It can't even teleport.

That's why I always get death magic on my Sphinx. Stygian Paths is a wonderful spell.

Edit: You could wish for more of the water royalty if all of them have been summoned already. Thier regeneration is amazing.

I had a vision of a most strange-looking sneaking stone sphinx passing through the stygian realms with a horde of scared little human followers, much to the surprise of Hades, Nergal and their likes.

Here's something I'd like to try, If you give some 4 armed commander, a Davana for example, 4 Eye Shields and fly him in a heavy Tartarian province could he blind them all? That is does Eye Shield have MR check?
