Sprite/1.03

Sprite are flying missile units.

Fey
Sprites are fragile flying units which are used to best effect against enemy armies. Like Faerie Dragons, Sprites also need enemy attacks drawn away from them so they are not annihilated before they even reach the enemy. The utterly awful combat can be improved to help meet the high costs of being produced.

Wood Elf
Sprites were once amazing prior to 1.03, where they could take advantage of the Wood Elven archery upgrades. Although they would remain fragile, those archer upgrades with their ability to fly is what made them questionably unbalanced. Since the 1.03.1 patch, they lost ALL archery upgrades, which has left them being an under-powered tier 4 unit that doesn't deserve the crystal cost for its production.
