Portraits

Air and Storm Elementals are level 2 creatures of Conflux town. They are recruited from the Altar of Air, or (unupgraded) from an Elemental Conflux. Air Elementals can also be summoned with the Summon Air Elemental spell.

"Air Elementals are powered by the same forces as Air Magic. They are immune to Mind and Meteor Shower spells. They take double damage from Firestorm, Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning spells. Storm Elementals wield lightning as their primary attack. They also have the additional ability to cast the spell Protection from Air." ^{AB manual}

Special abilities

• +100% to basic damage to Earth and Magma Elementals.
• Storm Elementals cast Protection from Air at an advanced Air Magic level.

Although Storm Elementals' informative text states that they suffer no melee penalty, it is not true. In HotA this text has been removed.

Restoration of Erathia

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

Horn of the Abyss

• The in-game description for both of them was corrected and updated.

User commentary

[Show user commentary] [Hide user commentary]

Air and Storm Elementals have the widest damage range in the game. This makes them awesome with Bless, but useless with Curse. Air and Storm Elementals are the only 2nd level units without a hero specializing in them. In order to combat Storm Elementals' vulnerability to Lightning Bolt, put 1 Storm Elemental out of your shooting stack (if you have space) and use that one to cast Protection from Air to the stronger stack. They are creatures summoned from the Elemental Plane of Air.
