'''Water and Ice Elementals''' are level 3 [[creature]]s of [[Conflux town]]. They are recruited from the [[Conflux creature dwellings|Altar of Water]], or (unupgraded) from an [[Elemental Conflux]]. Water Elementals can also be summoned by the [[Summon Water Elemental]] spell.


[[Water magic]] animates the water elemental. These creatures are immune to [[Mind spell|mind]], [[ice bolt]], and [[frost ring]] [[spells]], but take double damage from [[Inferno (spell)|inferno]], [[fireball]] and [[armageddon]] [[spell]]s. 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]].

{{user commentary|
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.
