Grave elemental's Hurl Boulder

October 7, 2012 11:47:34 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Hi there, playing a game as Resoln and got a "Grave Elemental"... That is cool except that its ability to hurl boulders cost 22 mana... Now is that really the point, to give a creature an ability I would never use?.

I know it was placed in the game as an anti-kiting mechanic, but at least consider making them worth casting.

Sincerely

PS. when upgrading an earth shard, it does not upgrade your previous Grave Elemental, and it does not wait until your previous Grave Elemental died to spawn a new one, it just immediately spawns the larger version, giving you access to 2 elementals from 1 shard, I suppose this scales up on higher level shards too, giving tons of 1 time free units.

yeah, all the wraiths (or any custom faction with binding)   units give you a better unit at upgrading shrines. 

As for their purpose and usefulness.  Free is free.  but slightly better than mites?

They are decently useful in the earlygame (dunno about lategame, Resoln faction doesn't hold that much interest to me), but it seemed like a big that I would get 3 units from 1 shrine, but only if I upgraded it and let my old ones live..

The Crow demons are super useful from turn 1 to the end of the game.

The Death demons, properly nurtured, can act as meat shields up until the end.

The Grave elementals are easy to use meat shields early, and not too useful later on.

The Water and Fire are chaffe, at least the early versions.  Never bothered with them, so I may be missing something.
