The Book of Air Elemental
The Book of Air Elemental Champions of the Forgotten Realms – Collection D1 – Fury of the Primordials
Spoiler Alert!
If you cannot see the Army Card graphic, check the Heroscapers Gallery for stats and special powers, plus "character biography" and other non-game unit info. Character Bio (from Truth's front-page description) : The Air Elemental is a Jandar-summoned Common Hero that truly halts any forward movement up on the battlefield. While flying figures can fly over its SWIRLING VORTEX, they will feel the wrath of its AIR MASTERY power. Quote:

Death Knights already are fine vs melee, they don't want to invest points into figures that aren't helping their atrocious range matchups. Elementals outside Fire Elementals aren't really viable, and while splashing one of these in alongside Water and Earth Elementals is... ok, it's not good.

Re: The Book of the Air Elemental
These guys are going to destroy melee figures as swirling vortex only affects your opponents figures you could stop a squad of KoW from attacking your marro stingers ,who would then fire upon the knights.

Re: The Book of the Air Elemental
I have a question. I was playing my friend today. I had Air Elemental and he had Raelin. Raelin was stopped by Vortex, then Air engaged. Next turn, Raelin began flying and moved over Air Elemental. Does Swirling Vortex stop her move when Raelin is over Air, or can she move 1 more space?
Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of the Air Elemental
Chief just wrote up a very interesting analysis of how to use the Air Elementals. I just thought people should be able to find it from the book.

Re: The Book of the Air Elemental
The answer to this question may be obvious, but, well, it isn't to me because I'm asking it! "Figures can never move through any figure affected by Swirling Vortex." Are fliers considered as moving through figures, or over them?
Also, if a small or medium flier lands on a space within Swirling Vortex, is that figure considered affected by Swirling Vortex, even though it wasn't forced to stop? |

Re: The Book of the Air Elemental
The wording in Flying says it passes over figures, so I just assume they can also pass over vortexed figures.
They are being affected if they are within 2 clear sight spaces and are medium or small. So while they aren't moving, yes they are affected by the vortex. In forest dark or glade beferned

Re: The Book of the Air Elemental
I agree with GreenLanturn. Another way to think of it is this: Even if the figure standing near the AirE is a flier, any non-flier passing by would still need to stop in the Vortex. They can't pass through the flier because they can't stop on that space.
And yes, fliers move over figures when they fly, not through them. EDIT: Added the new clarification and reworded the first clarification to include the bolded text. Thanks guys. Last edited by spiteofthedice; April 18th, 2010 at 02:37 PM. |

melee characrters without flight can still move, just one space at a time until they are "out of" swirling vortex. At least thats how i interperet the wording of the ability |

Re: The Book of the Air Elemental
Here's a question:
OK, so the card says figures may never move through a figure affected by Swirling Vortex. But it also says only opponent's figures are affected. So what if one of my figures with the phantom walk power tries to move the the arrow grut affected by SW? |
