New Spells in Crossworlds

[BB Shockwave]

Can anyone describe what the Dragon's abilities (like Infernal, Thing of Chaos, Anti-Magical) mean? I am playing a Paladin and most likely won't even learn Chaos Magic as I'm using only boost spells, thus won't likely get to use this creature unless I find a scroll.

Infernal Creature

- related to race of demon
- strong resist to fire
- protected from cold
- immune to effect of mind
- denotates any nearby mines and barrels
- +50% defense in lava arenas
- susceptible to poison and astral
- burns melee attackers
- when it dies, it explodes, igniting all around for one turn.

Incinerates
- Ignites target with its breathe. If it kills the target, the body is incinerated and a cluster of Rage is left behind

Thing of Chaos
- When the Dragon lives (and it won't), Demons in the army receive +1 Morale. No effect on summon creatures (it never did anyways heh).


Anti-Magical means you can't cast spells on it like the Phoenix and Black Dragon (besides plague mwhahah).

That said, at least on Impossible mode, it sucks compared to Ancient Phoenix.

If I somehow bring demons into the fold, the +1 morale might be worth it, but this sucker dies for me in one round, even with Level 3 Summoner and like 50 intellect.

Att 79(53)
Def 80(53)
Init 6
Speed 7
Crit 37% (10%)
Damage 477-795
Health 2390

I wouldn't hate on it so much if it didn't cost what seems like nearly 100 Crystals to get to level 3, and 60 mana.

I agree the dragon seems pretty worthless for a whoopin 60 mana. Perhaps two expansions later they'll fix it to be better?

[BB Shockwave]

Seems like they already fixed it... in the russian patch.

It seems pretty powerfull for me, better then Evil Book, anyway, though I agree it should cost 35 mana like the Phoenix, not 60.

Weakness against Astral means you should never summon this against Goblin Shamans...

[onepiece]

Yep although with the Crown of Chaos these suckers could resist the G. Shamans (are they affected by voice of the dragon +2 morale to dragons?)

P.S.: Yep 60 is way to high, better to do Armageddon than summon it.

An easier way to get both mana and rage after round 20 is to use necromancers and max the Holy Mind skill in the mind tree.
Use the Necromancers raise the dead skill and surround enemy with undead, then blast away with their AOE attack. Phantom if necessary, also if you add demonolgists summons and magic spring as well, you can generate insane amounts of rage and mana each round! 36 rage and over 46 mana!

Summons never get Morale Bonuses, I think.

I hear people mention GIzmo as a spell... what spell school is it from? I never got to develop Gizmo in the Legend with my Paladin and Mage to the top level, IE where it resurrects units, gives them extra turn and takes away action points from enemies. Does it do that here?

I plan to do my next walkthrough with a Demon army (Demonologists added) and plan to try the features of the Dragon of Chaos. Hopefully, by the patch, his mana costs have been reduced, or the dragon is stronger.

Btw, Evil Book. I see enemies summon it, and it is affected by the Intellect in stats - are the spells it casts affected too?
