Fire Elementals and Energy Elementals are the level 4 creatures of Conflux. They are recruited from the 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.

"Fire Elementals are burning spirits of Fire Magic. They are immune to all Mind and Fire School spells, but take double damage from Ice Ray and Frost Ring attacks. Energy Elementals gain the ability to fly and can also cast the spell Protection from Fire." ^{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 Magogs' fireball attack or Dragons' breath attacks are not considered to be magical and therefore they do harm elementals. (In Horn of the Abyss, Fire and Energy Elementals are vulnerable only to the central hex of Magog's attack) .

• +100% to basic damage to 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). 

Heroes with a specialty

• Ignissa the Planeswalker and
• Fiur the Planeswalker have fire elementals as a specialty. All Fire/Energy Elementals under their command gain +1 Attack, +2 Defense and +2 Damage.

Restoration of Erathia

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

Horn of the Abyss

• Energy Elemental's level bug is fixed.
• The gamma of Fire Elemental was 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.

User commentary

[Show user commentary] [Hide user commentary]

Fire elementals definitely look like they fly like Superman, but actually they don't. Their movement is just walking "with style". HotA didn't fix this. HotA, however, did increase the power of Protection from Fire (this only affects the spellcasting of the upgraded Energy Elementals, however). They are creatures summoned from the Elemental Plane of Fire.
