Archmage

The Archmages are mounted magic users. Although mounted units, they are not so fast. Just like any range units, they lack HPs, but have a lot of other feats. For example, their range (5) is higher than most other range units (usually 4.2). Archmages are mostly effective against swarms of enemies as they deal splash damage. Their Special Skill 'Icethorn' can be useful to prevent foes from moving any further
