Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I need some good tips on how to use Kamikaze. With the "Destroyer" mage skill, this has become hands-down the most damaging spell in my spell book and the mana efficiency is great.
Kamikaze 2165-4330 damage to all surrounding enemies for 15 mana! But the problem is getting the enemy to surround my suicide squad for maximum efficiency. By contrast, my often used damage spell is Fire Rain, and it does 2525-2885 damage in the same range (7-cell area) for 20 mana. That alone is awesome damage-to-cost ratio, but Kamikaze is way better... but too random.
So any kamikaze tacticians here want to lay out a good strategy? I also have Higher Magic x 3 so I can cast twice per battle. I usually create a phantom of my green dragon, and set kamikaze on it 1st round. Then send the dragon in (I pick the dragon because it is a unit in my army regardless of this strategy, and it has good enough speed to go plant itself right in front of the enemy army.) This works out ok, but I could easily just cast Fire Rain twice and have a better damage output. I've also tried demon portal x 2, then kamikaze x 2 in the second round. I might try out this griffin strategy, but is there any viable way to do this without wasting a spell, or wasting a slot with griffins?
Split one griffin, kamikaze on it, send it in, and kamikaze an enemy that may die for domino effect is something I may try today.
