However, their trump card is the no retaliation ability and their speed, which helps them not take hits, if using a wait-attack-retreat tactic (as in flying away from the enemy). | ||

The main tactic for them (especially the faster Sprites) is to wait in the first turn, attack at the end and retreat next turn. This allows them to retain numbers while dealing much damage, at least in the early game. They can also be used as a decoy against relatively slow units to allow the [[Storm Elemental|Storm Elementals]] and/or [[Ice Elemental|Ice Elementals]] to finish them by ranged attacks. | |||

They don't benefit from skills too much, since they are low-level troops, but [[Tactics]] could be used to give them a broader range, being useful later on too for the slow [[Earth Elemental and Magma Elemental|Earth and Magma Elementals]]. | They don't benefit from skills too much, since they are low-level troops, but [[Tactics]] could be used to give them a broader range, being useful later on too for the slow [[Earth Elemental and Magma Elemental|Earth and Magma Elementals]]. | ||
