Devil and Arch Devil

2015-12-10T22:08:54Z

Fredbouwong: /* Black Dragon versus Arch Devil */ I made a mistake in my analysis, of the A/D ratings. It was wrong on the creature list table, so I read it wrong. Adjusted analysis.

'''Devils and arch devils''' are level 7 creatures of [[inferno town]]. They are recruited from the [[forsaken palace]].

Devils and arch devils can teleport to almost any hex on the battlefield. Their overwhelming attack leaves no possibility for a [[Retaliation|retaliatory strike]]. They also do [[Hate|150% damage]] to [[Angel and archangel|angels]] and reduce enemy [[luck]] by one when they appear on the battlefield.

Devils have an [[AI Value]] of 5101, while Arch Devils have an AI Value of 7115

== Discussion ==

===Black Dragon versus Arch Devil===

The Arch Devil strangely is more expensive than the Black Dragon, at 4500+2M versus 4000+2S for the BD. The Black Dragon has 50% more health, spell immunity, a 2 hex attack, and a higher median damage (45 versus 35). The Arch Devil has the no retaliation (which makes it somewhat like a ranged unit with running), a -1 to luck special, +2 speed, and a delta 4 advantage in A/D. 500 more for an Arch Devil? The cost difference seems difficult to justify. Which unit has a better value to the army? Counter arguing, Black Dragons have that cool spell immunity, but that also means that can't be shielded/stone skinned/blessed or what-have-you, whereas Arch-Devils can. I think both pros and cons nullify each other for the low level spells. However, the real difference is in the 2, 4, and 5 level damage spells. Those hit points, which by the way you are paying a lot of gold for, can be dwindled down quite drastically with those damage spells with a decent spell power, devastating that enormous investment. To add to the matter, Arch Devils have the least hit points of any upgraded level 7 unit, tied equal with the lowly Ghost Dragons, and the growth-boosted Phoenixes, both of whom which cost at least 1500 less gold than the Arch Devil. Henceforth, is the Arch Devil over-priced for the value that it brings to the army, the question can be asked? In particular, is the Arch Devil worth more gold than the Black Dragon? It's close. The ultimate counter argument to the Arch Devil, its lower hit points, and its high cost, is it is easier raising by Sacrifice or Resurrection.

Quite useful, since it gives you first chance to cast spells in sieges (provided that the defending hero doesn't have [[Artillery]]).

'''Recommended for:''' Heroes with walker-heavy armies

'''Further discussion:''' While useful for breaking open the gate quickly, one also has to care to consider that it is the only battle-skill that in non-siege battle situations has absolutely no impact. Therefore, in a multiplayer game it may be better to select a more multi-situation skill upon which to invest. In single-player games, more useful, but also situational, as the AI tends to charge out of the castle if an army demonstrates any significant long-range damage abilities. It is very rare that the AI stays in the castle entirely, and that this skill is entirely necessary. I would take this if I had walker armies, and were offered an alternative skill considerably less useful (ie. eagle eye, learning).

'''Nagas and Naga Queens''' are level 6 creatures of [[Tower]]. They are recruited from [[golden pavilion]].

Nagas are guardian defenders of great strength. Their multi-sword attacks always do maximum damage and are so overwhelming they are impossible to counterstrike against. They are very resilient, hit like a truck and have a good special. Their only downsides are that they are a bit slow for their level and very expensive.

Nagas have an [[AI Value]] of 2016, while Naga Queens have an AI Value of 2840.

== Discussion ==
One of the great things about Naga Queens is that their building upgrade requires no wood, making them under certain situations much more feasible to obtain compared to Arch Magi.

'''Mysticism''' is one of [[secondary skill]]s. Normally heroes regenerate one [[spell point]] per day, but mysticism enables heroes to regenerate up to four points per day.

==Heroes who specialize in mysticism==
* [[Halon]] the [[Wizard]]
* [[Axsis]] the [[Heretic]]
* [[Jaegar]] the [[Warlock]]
* [[Rosic]] the [[Witch]]

==Heroes who start with mysticism==
The following heroes all start with basic mysticism:
* [[Axsis]] the [[Heretic]]
* [[Finneas]] the [[Necromancer]]
* [[Halon]] the [[Wizard]]
* [[Ingham]] the [[Cleric]]
* [[Jaegar]] the [[Warlock]]
* [[Josephine]] the [[Alchemist]]
* [[Piquedram]] the [[Alchemist]]
* [[Rissa]] the [[Alchemist]]
* [[Rosic]] the [[Witch]]
* [[Thant]] the [[Necromancer]]
* [[Torosar]] the [[Alchemist]]

==Artifacts with similar ability==
* [[Charm of Mana]] – allows your hero to regenerate 3 spell points per day.
* [[Talisman of Mana]] – allows your hero to regenerate 2 spell points per day.
* [[Mystic Orb of Mana]] – allows your hero to regenerate 3 spell points per day.
* [[Wizard's Well]] ({{insod}}) – Combination artifact, that is assembled from the artifacts mentioned above. While equipped, it allows your hero to regenerate all spell points in a day.

== Comments & debate ==
Mysticism is one of those secondary skills, that have a good idea but the execution fails. A hero with expert mysticism gains four spell points per day, which is the same amount of points a hero with [[Mystic Orb of Mana]] (a [[:Category:Treasure artifacts|treasure class]] artifact) would gain. The only situation mysticism could be useful, is in maps with long traveling distances or maps with no [[magic well]]s or [[mage guild]]s to recharge spell points. However, these are rare occasions, of which the [[Dragon Slayer]] campaign might be one. In conclusion, mysticism is just not worth spending one of eight possible secondary skill slots.

Archery gets a bonus of 50% at expert, which is superior to offense at expert which is at 30% (but offset if forced to melee). This is one of the most powerful skills if used correctly. Works great with the artifacts the [[Golden Bow]], the [[Bow of the Sharpshooter]] (a combination or super artifact found only in the {{sod}} expansion) or with the stack bonus artifacts.

Archery is a secondary skill with two sides. Is almost useless if a hero has only few (weak) ranged units. On the other hand, it may be even better than [[Offense]], which only gives 30% increse to [[melee]] damage, if a hero manages to muster strong ranged units like [[Titan]]s and [[Cyclops King]]s. From the faction [[Tower]] and [[Dungeon]] heroes are perhaps the advisable candidates to choose Archery because of the powerful ranged units.

'''Mysticism''' is one of [[secondary skill]]s. Normally heroes regenerate one [[spell point]] per day, but mysticism enables heroes to regenerate up to four points per day.

'''Heroes who specialize in mysticism:'''
* [[Ingham]] the [[Cleric]] (Castle)
* [[Axsis]] the [[Heretic]] (Inferno)
* [[Jaegar]] the [[Warlock]] (Dungeon)
* [[Rosic]] the [[Witch]] (Fortress)

'''Heroes who start with mysticism secondary skill without specializing in it:'''
* [[Halon]] the [[Wizard]] (Tower)
* [[Thant]] the [[Necromancer]] (Necropolis)

'''Artifacts with similar ability:'''
* [[Charm of Mana]] – allows your hero to regenerate 3 spell points per day.
* [[Talisman of Mana]] – allows your hero to regenerate 2 spell points per day.
* [[Mystic Orb of Mana]] – allows your hero to regenerate 3 spell points per day.
* [[Wizard's Well]] ({{insod}}) – Combination artifatct, that is assembled from the artifacts mentioned above. While equipped, it allows your hero to regenerate all spell points in a day.

== Comments & debate ==
Mysticism is one of those secondary skills, that have a good idea but the execution fails. A hero with expert mysticism gains four spell points per day, which is the same amount of points a hero with [[Mystic Orb of Mana]] (a [[:Category:Treasure artifacts|treasure class]] artifact) would gain. The only situation mysticism could be useful, is in maps with long traveling distances or maps with no [[magic well]]s or [[mage guild]]s to recharge spell points. However, these are rare occasions, of which the [[Dragon Slayer]] campaign might be one. In conclusion, mysticism is just not worth spending one of eight possible secondary skill slots.
