I had never faced Archmage Arius in-game until today. I was completely shocked to come across him in Gold 1.
I used my normal Selenia sky team, plus elven mystic that I didn’t even need. Not sure what would have happened in normal rule set, but I’m sure no-melee, weak magic helped me. Grenadier is the bomb!
