Earth and Magma Elementals are level 5 creatures of Conflux town. They are recruited from the 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, Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, and Firestorm spells. They take double damage from 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 cast the spell Protection from Earth." AB manual

Special ability

+100% to basic damage to Air and Storm Elementals.

Bugs

Though Magma Elementals are level 5 units, the game considers them as level 3 (in creature level-based calculations and 'random monster 3' object in the map editor). (Fixed in HotA). Horn of the Abyss

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

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. 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.

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).

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.

They are creatures summoned from the Elemental Plane of Earth.
