What's up with Archdemons???

[player1]

I actually think Emerals are best dragons due to 3 reasons.

1) Their attack is not fire, so they do decent damage against demons or other dragons (unlike reds and blacks).
2) They have 2 attacks that prevent enemy from retaliating. Very useful way to keep loses to minimum.
3) One of those attacks, mana drain, is very useful to get some mana back for your hero

Archdemons have their uses, I included them from Baal's castle until the end.

Remember on lava (like all demons) their defense is raised by 50% so they can take a beating. They can help clear our demonis if you want to. (As a mage I basically avoided all random encounters there)

Secondly their fire resistance really helps later against the dragons, I used them to draw black and red dragon's retaliation.

That said I agree that they could have done something else with them, the debuff is cute but how often does it happen? Would have liked the summoning power on them instead of on the demons (who have enough powers as it is)
