| Similar to MA Ulm, LA Phlegra's unit roster suffers from low Magic Resistance across the board; the highest it gets is 11 on the Mouflon Cataphract's rider. Due to how common Astral magic is in the Late Age, it is important for Phlegra to transition out of recruitable units and into summons before its opponents can exploit this weakness using spells like ??Enslave Mind??. | Similar to MA Ulm, LA Phlegra's unit roster suffers from low Magic Resistance across the board; the highest it gets is 11 on the Mouflon Cataphract's rider.
