Re: Three Questions

I never really found any of the defence or shield spells to make much of a difference (if any), well not enough to warrant casting them. By the time you have spent 50 mana on defence, you could have blasted it with a huge fireball instead.

For the people who are bothered (probably just Paul and Ant!) I just finished it with Azizi in 53 and a half mins. Didn't cast a single fireball either.

Re: ways to train ur champions

The way I used to gain priest levels quickly on lower levels was to cast EE potions (mana) as you get some of that mana back you expended, surely the most efficient way.

Depends what level your fighter is to start with! If you can't do bezerk yet, then I believe jab is the best.

I have noticed that stamina drain seems to be proportional to the character's vitality ie low vitality the quicker the stamina goes. This is easily demonstrated if you take Hissssa or Darouu and compare to say Leif. So you could try casting vitality spells on Wu Tse, or getting her to fight to incre...
