Water Elementals and Ice Elementals are the level 3 creatures of Conflux. They are recruited from the Altar of Water, or the Water Elemental Conflux and Elemental Conflux on the adventure map. Water Elementals can also be summoned by the Summon Water Elemental spell. They are creatures summoned from the Elemental Plane of Water.

"Water magic animates the Water Elemental. These creatures are immune to Mind, Ice Ray and Frost Ring spells, but take double damage from... Inferno... and Fireball spells. Because their form is more solid, ice elementals have the ability to throw deadly ice tridents. Additionally, they have the ability to cast the spell Protection from Water." ^{AB manual}

Heroes with a specialty

Kalt the Planeswalker (fixed-stat specialty)
Lacus the Planeswalker (fixed-stat specialty)

Special Abilities

Water and Ice Elementals are not vulnerable to Fire Wall, Land Mine and Fire Shield, although this is stated in the game manual and there is a "Vulnerable to Fire" line in the creature's information. However, they are vulnerable to Armageddon.

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

It should be noted that although Ice Elementals' information states that they suffer no melee penalty, that is not true (fixed in Horn of the Abyss ).

Restoration of Erathia

In Restoration of Erathia , Water Elementals are level 4 Neutral creatures. They are recruited from Elemental Conflux or Water Elemental Conflux.

Horn of the Abyss

Ice Elementals' level bug is fixed.
The in-game descriptions for both Water and Ice Elementals are updated.
The Elemental Conflux now increases the growth of all four basic elementals by 1.

Bugs

Though Ice Elementals are level 3 units, the game considers them as level 4 in creature level-based calculations and "Random Monster 4" object in the Map Editor (fixed in Horn of the Abyss ).

-Water Elementals should be promoted to Ice Elementals as soon as possible, since their basic version cannot shoot and is very slow. However, your main shooting force should be [[Air Elemental and Storm Elemental|Storm Elementals]], as they are significantly faster than Ice Elementals, having speed 8 which is excellent for a ranged unit. Storm and Ice Elementals have similar stats.

+Water Elementals should be promoted to Ice Elementals as soon as possible, since their basic version cannot shoot and is very slow. However, your main shooting force might be [[Air Elemental and Storm Elemental|Storm Elementals]], as they have higher possible damage and are significantly faster than Ice Elementals, having speed 8 which is excellent for a ranged unit. Storm and Ice Elementals have similar stats. As Ice Elementals have significant damage range, boost them with [[Bless]], and when playing against them, cast [[Curse]] on these units.
