}} It grants the target troop a fixed +8 [[attack]] bonus against the specified lvl 7 units, depending on the level of expertise in [[fire magic]].


This spell is the strongest attack-increasing effect in game, except possibly [[Frenzy]] but also without its defensive drawback, granting +8 attack, but only against very specific 7th level units, and only ever to a single stack per cast.
Target allied stack gains 8 [[Attack]] when attacking certain foes.

{{user commentary|
==Heroes that specialize in Slayer==
Slayer depends on your enemies' army makeup - if you never encounter any valid targets, this spell becomes useless. On the other hand, if you regularly fight dragons or other "monstrous" level 7+ units, it can be a great damage buff, especially in endgame when direct damage spells are less effective than buffs/debuffs due to raw hit points/damage numbers.
*[[Coronius]] the [[Druid]]
 
Against "valid" targets Slayer is slightly stronger than [[Bloodlust]]/[[Precision]], as it grants +8 attack regardless of situation, but it is also more expensive and cannot affect more than 1 stack per cast.
 
Being 4th level spell, unlike most buffs it can be cast on [[Green Dragon]]s and [[Red Dragon]]s.
 
[[Fire Magic]] skill increases Slayer's potential, allowing it to affect wider pool of targets. Typically (without Fire Magic skill) it will only have an effect when fighting Dragons, [[Hydras]] and [[Behemoths]]. On Advanced level [[Angels]] and [[Devils]] are also included. Finally with Expert Fire Magic [[Giant]]s/[[Titan]]s also suffer increased attacker's strength.
 
It is costly and inefficient spell, though, with relatively high mana cost and quite specialized effect - always targets 1 stack, only works vs specific targets, requires Fire Magic to achieve its full potential, and if you do have Expert Fire Magic chances are you prefer AoE [[Berserk]] anyway to use your enemies' own strength against them or [[Blind]]ing them one by one.
