Both Pixies and Sprites have the smallest health and defense value for a faction-aligned creature, the [[Halfling]] and the [[Goblin]] sharing the same defense as them. 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). | Both Pixies and Sprites have the smallest health and defense value for a faction-aligned creature, the [[Halfling]] and the [[Goblin]] sharing the same defense as them.

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]]. | ||

=== Trivia === | |||
According to Jennifer Bullard's development documents, they joined the [[Rampart]] armies after the [[Dwarves]] joined [[Bracada]] and the [[Centaur|Centaurs]] started complaining about 'tree-hugging wimpy druids' and left too. It should be also mentioned that the [[Conflux]] was disbanded at that time, having fulfilled its scope given by the [[Ancients]], which was to get rid of the [[Kreegan|Kreegans]] on [[Antagarich]], the Pixies/Sprites and [[Phoenix|Phoenixes]] not wanting to return to the [[Elemental Planes]]. | |||
