'''Automatons and Sentinel Automatons''' are the level 4 creatures of [[Factory]]. They are recruited from the [[Manufactory]].

== Heroes with a specialty ==
* {{H|Todd|Artificer}} and {{H|Frederick|Artificer}} {{withmapedhota}} have Automatons and Sentinel Automatons as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]].

==Special Ability: Detonation==
[[File:Detonation.png]] If Detonation is on when the stack dies, the Automatons explode, dealing 90 + 5N damage to all adjacent creatures (where N is the number of Automatons in the stack at the time of detonation). Detonation removes the corpse from the battlefield, making the Automatons impossible to [[repair]]. Detonation can be turned on without using a turn. Once it is turned on, it cannot be turned off.

Detonation works on [[Clone]]d Automatons.

Protection from fire doesn't reduce damage.

</gallery>

== Trivia ==
The first concept for the automaton was a flying creature. This design can still be seen on the top-left corner of the Factory's [[obelisk#Factory|puzzle map]].

{{user commentary|
The Clone spell may be the best way to use the Detonation ability, as a clone stack is guaranteed to be entirely destroyed at the first hit, provoking the best explosion damage the stack can provide. It may even be useful to keep a stack of non-upgraded Automatons so that their clones can attack, provoking retaliation and subsequent detonation. [[Eovacius]], with his Cloning specialty, provides an especially interesting synergy.

'''Fire Elementals and Energy Elementals''' are the level 4 creatures of [[Conflux]]. They are recruited from the [[Conflux creature dwellings|Altar of Fire]], or the [[Fire Elemental Conflux]] and [[Elemental Conflux]] on the [[adventure map]]. Fire Elementals can also be summoned with the [[Summon Fire Elemental]] spell. They are creatures summoned from the [[Plane of Fire|Elemental Plane of Fire]].

''"Fire Elementals are burning spirits of [[Fire Magic]]. They are immune to all [[Mind spell|Mind]] and [[Fire magic|Fire School]] [[spell]]s, but take double damage from [[ice bolt|Ice Ray]] and [[Frost Ring]] attacks. Energy Elementals gain the ability to [[Flying|fly]] and can also [[Spellcaster|cast]] the spell [[Protection from Fire]]."{{-}}[[Armageddon's Blade Manual Page 16|AB manual]]''

== Special Abilities ==
Although Fire and Energy Elementals are immune to fire magic, they are not unaffected by fire-based creature attacks. For example [[Magog]]s' fireball attack or [[Dragon]]s' [[breath attack]]s are not considered to be magical and therefore they do harm elementals. ''(In {{hota}}, Fire and Energy Elementals are vulnerable only to the central hex of [[Magog]]'s attack){{-wh}}.''

* +100% to basic damage to [[Water Elemental|Water and Ice Elementals]].
* Energy Elementals: Can cast [[Protection from Fire]] three times per battle. The spell is cast on a single target at an Advanced [[Fire Magic]] level.

== Bugs ==
Though '''Energy Elementals''' are level 4 units, the game considers them as level 5 in creature level-based calculations. ''(Fixed in HotA).{{-wh}}''

== Heroes with a specialty ==
*{{H|Ignissa|Planeswalker}} and
*{{H|Fiur|Planeswalker}} have fire elementals as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]]. All Fire/Energy Elementals under their command gain +1 Attack, +2 Defense and +2 Damage.

== {{roe}} ==
In {{roe}}{{-}}{{withroe}}, Fire Elementals are level 4 [[Neutral creature]]s. They are recruited from [[Elemental Conflux]] or [[Fire Elemental Conflux]].

=={{hota}}==
* Energy Elemental's level bug is fixed.
* The gamma of Fire Elemental was [[Creature_portraits#HotA_creature_portrait_fixes|fixed]]:

* The in-game description for both of them was updated.
* The [[Elemental Conflux]] now increases the growth of all four basic elementals by 1.
* The in-game sprite has been changed.

{{user commentary|
In their animations, fire elementals definitely look like they fly like Superman, but actually they don't. Same happens with energy elementals and the appearance of teleporting. In both cases, despite the depiction, their movement works as just walking "with style". HotA didn't fix this. 
==> False, energy elementals don't walk, they fly. They can travel walls for example.
----
HotA, however, did [[Horn_of_the_Abyss_(Changelog)#Version_1.5.2|increase the power]] of [[Protection from Fire]] (this only affects the spellcasting of the upgraded Energy Elementals, however).
