One use of death ripple is, that you can wake up your own units from [[blind]] or simila effects. Additionally, it may be useful to clear out enemy scouts, which usually have only small forces or seven stacks of one fast creature.

Comments & debate

Death ripple is somewhat useful when playing with necropolis and having an undead army, or if you happen to found Pendant of Life, which makes your troops immune to death ripple spell.

Even then, it is mostly useful in the beginnig of the game because it has a relatively low damage capability. With a quite high spell power of 30, death ripple merely does 180 damage, which is not enough to destroy even a ballista. With Orb of Silt (+50% earth spell damage), the damage will rise to 270 points.

One use of death ripple is, that you can wake up your own units from blind or similiar effects. Additionally, it may be useful to clear out enemy scouts, which usually have only small forces or seven stacks of one fast creature.
