lvl 3 pygmy, my friend, lvl 3 pygmy, it's your best chance. But soul drain the enemy first if you can.

Wow, that's really scary. Didn't get to that point though, so I'd better start preparing already :)

I loled @ 23 mana :)

But yeah like they said, drain it with reaper and then let it pummel on phantoms and just mirror it to death.

That doesn't look scary at all... I'd be more nervous about facing demonesses or dryads of that quantity

Pygmy doesn't work on level 5 creatures.

With 23 mana there is really a little to do... but if you would have your full mana - I am sure you could win even w/o loses (if enemy caster would direct the damage spells as you would like to or use only sheep/ pigmy or other non destructive spells

Griffons, Higher Magic Level 2, Pain Mirror X4, Time Back. Hope they crit your Griffons.

How come you're running FRAPS? For the screenshots? The game already has its screenshot key/ability?
Don't want to hassle with .bmp --> .jpg eh? :P

Faeries can do this battle easily (Reaper's SoulDrain and Pygmy are welcome :) as well as slow down. Lina's ice is really helpful against this kind of creatures.)
