'''Earth Elementals and Magma Elementals''' are the level 5 [[creature]]s of [[Conflux]]. They are recruited from the [[Conflux creature dwellings|Altar of Earth]], or the [[Earth Elemental Conflux]] and [[Elemental Conflux]] on the [[adventure map]]. Earth Elementals can also be summoned with the [[Summon Earth Elemental]] spell. They are creatures summoned from the [[Plane of Earth|Elemental Plane of Earth]].
'''Earth and Magma Elementals''' are level 5 [[creature]]s of [[Conflux town]]. They are recruited from the [[Conflux creature dwellings|Altar of Earth]], or (unupgraded) from an [[Elemental Conflux]]. Earth Elementals can also be summoned with the [[Summon Earth Elemental]] spell.


''"Earth Elementals are forces of Earth Magic. They take no damage from [[Mind spells|Mind]], [[Lightning Bolt]], [[Chain Lightning]], and [[Armageddon|Firestorm]] spells. They take double damage from [[Meteor Shower|Meteor Storm]] attacks. From a source deep beneath the world's surface, roam the Magma Elementals. Slightly stronger than their earthen counter-parts, Magma Elementals can also [[Spellcaster|cast]] the spell [[Protection from Earth]]."{{-}}<sup>[[Armageddon's Blade Manual Page 16|AB manual]]''</sup>

{{user commentary|
{{fanopinion|
Earth Elementals are one of the worst elementals, since they are incredibly slow and also expensive. Though they will win on melee 1v1 against other elementals, for their cost they are not as good. Also, they have significantly lower growth, with just 4 per week compared to the water's 6 - meaning the Earth Elementals actually produce ''less'' weekly HP. They can neither attack ranged, fly, or have other useful abilities.

They can neither attack ranged, fly, or have other useful abilities. The only notable thing is their resistance to [[Armageddon]] (along with [[Fire Elementals]]), making them useful for [[Dragogeddon]] tactics.


On the other hand one very notable property is their resistance to [[Armageddon]] (along with [[Fire Elementals]]), making them useful for [[Dragogeddon]] tactics. Another pretty notable property is their resistance to Lightning and Chain Lightning. If enemy heroes forget to research Ice Bolt, Meteor Shower, or Implosion (for the last two, Magma Elementals can still cast Protection from Earth), then these guys will not be able to take much single target spell damage. Overall, this is the elemental with the best resistances.
Magma Elementals have the same weaknesses (even with high HP for elementals, they have low defense for a level 5 creature: Compare their 11 Def vs the 16 Def of [[Mighty Gorgons]]). Though it is notable that although they are weak to [[Meteor Shower]], their [[Protection from Earth]] cast spell does offer a defense against Meteor Shower itself. The most important stat upgrade is +2 speed (from 4 to 6).

Magma Elementals have the same weaknesses as their unupgraded counterparts (even with high individual HP for elementals, they have low defense for a level 5 creature: Compare their 11 Def vs the 16 Def of [[Mighty Gorgon]]s). Though it is notable that although they are weak to [[Meteor Shower]], their [[Protection from Earth]] cast spell does offer a defense against Meteor Shower itself. The most important stat upgrade is +2 speed (from 4 to 6).


The Protection from Earth spell was buffed in HotA, resulting in an indirect small boost to the utility of Magma Elementals.
Earth Elementals are basically only suited for garrison defense and Armageddon, while Magma Elementals may find a place in your army but only if you have a lot of gold to recruit/upgrade them. If you can recruit more Storm or Ice Elementals you will be better off with them instead, much as like with Psychic and Magic Elementals. All in all they are a low priority unit.

There is something of note however: Earth Elemental specialty is actually good. The +5 damage means that they deal at least 50% more damage than normal, turning them into decent units along with the atk and def bonus. However, take into account this specialty is fixed (doesn't scale with hero level), so it's more important in the early game. Do note that this type of specialty sadly doesn't upgrade the speed of the creature. Both Earth Elemental specialists ([[Thunar]] and [[Erdamon]]) are identical, starting with Tactics and basic Estates. While Estates will be mostly useless for a main hero, Tactics is key to positioning your slow Earth and Magma elementals forward or in other advantageous positions when the battle starts. If you choose these heroes, your priority will be getting as many earth/magma elementals as early as possible and use their upgraded damage to clear enemies. Still, sadly, even with near +100% minimum damage from the specialty (Earth goes from 4 to 9, Magma from 6 to 11), unsupported Earth Elementals barely can go toe to toe with other level 5 units due to their still overall low stats.
