This spell is most effective on creatures which have a large damage range and, at Advanced and Expert level, stacks of troops with low damage but large numbers of creatures in them. | This spell is most effective on creatures which have a large damage range and, at Advanced and Expert level, stacks of troops with low damage but large numbers of creatures in them. | ||
The +1 extra damage bonus from Advanced [[Water Magic]] is more beneficial to units that normally deal low damage as it's greater percentage of their base damage, so it's even more useful to low level units with high numbers and large damage bracket. Many 1st level units deal 1-3 damage values - [[Pikeman|Pikemen]], [[Troglodyte]]s, [[Sprite]]s ([[Skeleton]]s too, but as [[Undead]], they cannot be Blessed). [[Harpy and Harpy Hag|Harpies & Harpy Hags]] with 1-4 damage are perhaps most affected, as Advanced Bless causes them to deal 5 damage instead of 1-4, average 2,5, doubling their output. [[Air Elemental and Storm Elemental|Air Elementals & Storm Elementals]] deal similarly proportioned 2-8 damage. | The +1 extra damage bonus from Advanced [[Water Magic]] is more beneficial to units that normally deal low damage as it's greater percentage of their base damage, so it's even more useful to low level units with high numbers and large damage bracket.

Because of its mechanic, normal and basic Bless is useless to cast on troops with fixed damage value: [[Angel and Archangel|Angels]], [[Naga and Naga Queen|Nagas]], [[Peasant]]s, [[Enchanter]]s, [[Rust Dragon]]s, and [[Automaton]]s{{-wh}}. Advanced Bless has a very minor effect, as 1 point of damage is more or less a negligible amount on such troops. With the exception of peasants; where +1 basically doubles their damage output. This boost could be a game changer in numbers massive enough. However, getting to that point is only reasonable on paper and even then, it is really hard to keep them alive. | Because of its mechanic, normal and basic Bless is useless to cast on troops with fixed damage value: [[Angel and Archangel|Angels]], [[Naga and Naga Queen|Nagas]], [[Peasant]]s, [[Enchanter]]s, [[Rust Dragon]]s, and [[Automaton]]s{{-wh}}.
