Fire Elemental/1.03.24

Fire Elementals are elementals.

=Factions=

Swarm
Fire Elementals offer some support for crushing enemy bases, but as they're only summoned through spells cast by Scorpionpriests, you have to decide whether you want extra building destroying capabilities or extra unit smiting power in the form of 2 Rings of Fire, which can actually be used against buildings, too, and at the same time. Although Fire Elementals are ranged, their fire type attack doesn't help the Swarm much in the fight for the sky. Dragons, Daemons and anything that's under the affect of Resist Fire can still ultimately stop the race dead in the fight for aerial dominance.

Temple
Rather fragile, but quick and hard-hitting, these floating flames are capable of powerful ranged tactics (such as hit-and-runs) on enemy bases. Just be aware they are rather immaterial and thus quite fragile, so it may be wise to keep them clear of any heavy weaponry.
