It's impossible to play on Hard

[loreangelicus]

Hmmm... given that you are a mage, what offensive spells do you have at your disposal?

Try this lineup: archmage (verona), paladin (verona), guard droid (bolo), repair droid (bolo).

This is a survival lineup, with the only real damage-dealers being the paladin and guard droid. Given that you are on Hard, I assume you have either (or both) Ball Lightning or Dragon Dive. Split the repair droids into two stacks (since they can't repair themselves if only one stack). Guard droid and paladin as tanks, archmage casts mage shield on whoever is being attacked more. If necessary, even the two stacks of repair droids could do some minor tanking since you can "resurrect" them with their repair ability (which is a reload ability, thus could continue ad infinitum).

My experience with my impossible paladin game is that given spell and pet dragon support, you should be able to take out up to lethal enemies without any losses; even some "weak" invincible enemies could be taken out. You just need a decent tank and archmage ability mage shield to keep their large stacks busy.

Another much neglected pet dragon ability is Ball Lightning. On hard and impossible, this is probably the best damaging spell of the pet dragon since it scales with the size of the enemy stack, and attacks 3 times per cast. Casting 2-3 Ball Lightning at the first 3 turns of a battle would greatly whittle down the lethal and invincible enemy stacks.
