Ouch. I assume Adremelech Warlock (e.g. no non-flame basic melee attack). Not a single creature without a flame-based attack? And no fliers to at least take out the sniper?

As a desperation attack, your mage can always punch for 3. :p
I can take the fun out of anything. It's true; here, look at this spreadsheet.

female warlock is the only mage in the game that can get perma-trapped behind walls with a poor spellbook. if only those walls were flame-5 instead

any mage can get stuck in a force hold without dispels, but at least then you have line of sight on the enemy.

I equip Sectarus and some enchantments to get the Adramelech Warlock up to 6 or 7 dice with her basic attack. Flying demons also work well with her, but I added a Dark Pact Slayer for some extra punch to take down these types of walls. As a demon it also gains the benefits of her abilities and special equipment.

I have done a Force Push + Maim Wings to the Lord of Fire before.....

Cool trick, but turn 3/4, surely the Warlock has a Dispel, and almost certainly more Dispels than the opposing mage has Maim Wings. Also, you could throw a Nullify or similar onto Adramelech before sending him over the wall.

I was thinking that as long as Adremelech scores a burn token on something, then your Wildfire Imps could teleport across, but alas, they require LoS for their teleporting ability (unlike Gray Wraith, for example).

Perhaps this is a good excuse to add Eagleclaw Boots to the spell book?

Wildfire Imp does need LOS.

Blue Gremlin does not.

[mwcard=MWSTX2FFC13]Wildfire Imp[/mwcard] requires a target, unlike [mwcard=MW1C05]Blue Gremlin[/mwcard], and targets require Line of Sight.

no the female warlock and the priest can't
The Priests attack is Light not Flame.....

Mystery is referring to the fact that the Priest and the Adramelech Warlock cannot do a "standard" 3D basic attack.

sIKE is referring to pushing Adramelech behind two earth walls and then revealing Maim Wings.  At that point Adramelech's controlling mage does not have Line of Sight to dispel Maim Wings.  Additionally, Adramelech is powerless to affect the Earth Walls and needs another creature to bust him out since all he does is fire damage.
