Tips: How to beat the second "Double" (SPOILER)

[PHJF]

Yeah I figure I will be able to win that easily if i take like peasants in.

Soul Drain is currently 40% at 45 rage with a cooldown of 1 turn. I have ~70 rage if I use a demonic helmet I have, so right there in two turns I can take down 40% of two squads with just Spirits alone.

4300 damage ice snake or 3200 AoE fire rain will twice per first three turns will help as well 110 mana is a lot to burn.

wow soul drain at 40 %? im lvl 20 mage and have it still on 20 % since firstly i dont have much rage and i think it takes to long to get the rage. from 20 % - 30 % you have to invest 5 times more rage, so i thought its not worth it, but maybe it will be easier to gain rage in the end game.

Yes, I've done over 10000 damage with soul drain before on a stack of ~1300 level ones.

"Eternal sleep"

Imho, easiest way is get dryads (with other 1-3 lvl troops without immunity to sleep) and have "gift" spell and Agni ring. Best is all elven she-fighters (because of ring your troops will move before enemy and they have no retaliation) and some shooters.

Tactic is simple:
1. Dryads which uses sleep ability.
2. All units "wait". (turn 1)
3. At end of turn attack enemy with spirits/fairies, shooters, magic and rage spirits (just dont use abilities with DoT effect). (turn 1)
4. At beginning of turn 2 use "gift" spell on dryads if needed. (turn 2)
5. Attack enemies with units which have larger iniative than dryads. (turn 2)
6. Dryads uses "sleep" ability. (turn 2)
7. Pass till end of turn. (turn 2)
8. goto 2


Result: No casualties (your "double" cannot use magic because his units have no move).

this fight was very easy. i ,made anm runback and checked all quests on all maps before end game battle.

the army i used agaisnt second double in hadar was a mish mash of units i had bought and didnt used during the campagin and some beholders from lower hadar shops.

i used alot of fire rains and resurections. no special tactic used at all.

i still have 20% at lvl 30 mage. but i have reduced the cost to 5 rage and rest to 2. so basicly i can use that one and gizmo alot.
