Dark Elementalist

(image)

Often used as a character in stories to scare children, the Dark Elementalist is a being known to have mastered all forms of elemental magic. There are many legends written about him, in some of which he enslaved two of the great dragons or brought down a powerful empire on his own. He wears the attire of a necromancer for reasons known only to him, but many stories tell that he wears it to fulfil the last wish of a former loved one.

Special Notes: This unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent. Foes who lose their life to the plague will rise again in unlife, unless they are standing on a village. This unit’s arcane attack deals tremendous damage to magical creatures, and even some to mundane creatures.
