| '''Direct damage spells''' is a term that typically refers to [[spell]]s whose effect causes immediate damage to the creature stack(s) instead of weakening them, controlling them, hindering their movement or creating summoned creature stacks that attack them. | | '''Direct damage spells''' are spells that inflict damage on a single targeted enemy creature in [[combat]]. |
|
| |
|
| Many (and the most powerful single target spell [[Implosion]]) deal single target damage and damage to only a single stack, but there are also arcing ([[Chain Lightning]]), splashing ([[Fireball]], [[Meteor Shower]]) and whole battlefield spells ([[Armageddon]], [[Destroy Undead]], [[Death Ripple]]) - [[Destroy Undead]] only deals damage to undead, an inbuilt immunity of the enemy that most spells except [[Death Ripple]] lack, although quite some creatures are [[spell immunity|immune]] to spell schools, [[dragon|immune to a level range of spells]], [[troglodyte|immune to single spells]] or enjoy [[magic resistance]].
| | The direct damage spells in Heroes III and expansions are (listed by level): |
|
| |
|
| [[Earthquake]] is a spell that works like [[Cyclops]] units (or the [[Catapult]]) would - it damages the siege walls and not units. | | * [[Magic Arrow]] |
| | * [[Ice Bolt]] |
| | * [[Lightning Bolt]] |
| | * [[Titan's Lightning Bolt]]{{-ws}} |
| | * [[Implosion]] |
|
| |
|
| Damage spells can magically be evaded by casting [[Anti-Magic]] on units or having artefacts on the hero like [[Pendant of Negativity]] that makes the whole army immune to spells like [[Lightning Bolt]] or [[Chain Lightning]].
| | [[Category:Terms]] |
| | |
| [[Magic Mirror]] can (up to a percentage of 40%) reflect hurtfull spells back to a stack of the enemy casters army.
| |
| | |
| Damage spells also cannot be cast in anti magic areas like the [[Anti-Magic Garrison]].
