Need a Sylvan match? Try my double Ring of Caution Inferno vs Elvin's Sylvan


I'd like to see that.
Also it'd be nice with more inferno wins, I feel ashamed to have called myself pit lord, eventhough 10 pit lords took down 3 dragons, which looked quite impressive.

I also earlier noticed the lack of Sylvan, only finding Stronghold battles and wonder how that can be?

About that last replay, is it even worth using single target spell versus Academy considering how high the risk of Magic Mirror is?

there is a ~50% chance it will reflect the spell onto another creature and even then it can bounce onto another academy creep.
Like Golems
or Gargoyles

Yup, exactly 10+Hero_Level*2 %.
Generally you use only area or mass spells but you can take the risk. I usually make a small test with the mistresses spell. If their spell is not reflected then there is a chance the opponent doesn't have magic mirror. Intuition might be useful also. It generally is a good ability for duels, especially when it's a dark versus light matchup.
Note that when you cast Vampirism it can also be reflected by the magic mirror since it's officially a curse though works as blessing. It can land on enemy unit and your toasted

Galib and Cyrus have a 40+Hero_Level*2 % chance that the spell will land on enemy units. But first the mirror has to work so the formula given above counts the most.

I didn't know that lol! But then it works both ways...? Because I remember someone trying to dispell puppetmaster from his devils with Vampirism and it never wanted to land because Mirror always deflected it off them. So you're saying it also mirrors if you want to cast Vampirism on your own units lol?

Yes, lost a lot of battles because of that
Only destro and dark can be reflected. Really not nice when your vampirism lands on units that had decay, confusion or puppet master - worst scenario you can imagine

an academy hero with devils?

if I remember well, I learnt it another way, I was Academy against dungeon and might have told my friend he had no chance because of magic mirror. then he casted meteor shower and I was like "nooooo!!!!"

or when you face dark sylvan and are like "come on, try cursing me" and the other guy uses rain of imbued arrows and you are like "goddamnit!"

Lmao I think that would qualify.


New game coming soon, I got a little confused by a couple things (I'm still newbish ) so correct me on it if you know what I did wrong.

Dfg (A) vs. PhoenixReborn (D)-Summoning Magicfest

And yeah, I know Erratic Mana is a skill, not a hero specialty; I forgot the specialties were banned for a sec and got confused. Live casting's a rough business.

Elemental Balance is the skill that causes the mirrored phoenix and elementals appear on the battlefield. Both players have it

Quite strange dungeon picked black dragon, having summoning you go with the red giving him the arcane armor. He can survive a lot a deals decent dmg without counters thanks to Incinerate.

I lost count on this fact

Imo, Saboteurs might not be a good idea against Dungeon who is unlikely to maximize ballista. Then again whichever the choice was insignificant as they died instantly on the second turn

Another great job, SwampLord. Thank you!

Yeah, I was sure Aca was going to lose too there for a second. I've never seen so many Blade Barriers before in my life.


@OhForSake-The first group of replays I did were sent by Elvin and for whatever reason (secret grudge against those pansy-boy elves? ) there were no sylvan replays there. If you have some good sylvan games I'd love to cast them.

What a silly question

Hmph, I could watch some right now but I wouldn't have sound. Teh sux.

And what's your problem, there are enough sylvan replays in those I sent you Look harder!



A suggestion if I may. No reason to describe what happens, we can see it just fine. You should probably focus on why each player did what they did or why it was a mistake or why they did not do something else. It is advised to take a look first and if you have any questions just ask a regular, me, veco, someone

No, I meant the first group of 24 replays lol, I'm sure these have plenty. I was just kidding anyways

And yeah, I'll try and do that where possible, a little tough to think of all that stuff while livecasting sometimes though

I try to avoid doing that generally, as I feel it takes some of the fun out of commenting it live, but I'll analyze strategies more often.
