| Jotunheim's cold preference clearly shows in their troop line up. Most recruitable units come with a natural cold resistance and snow move, which gives a sizeable strategic advantage while fighting in cold. Worth noting is also the inherent weakness to shock for all giant troops. While Jotunheim's mages and communions can mitigate this weakness with ??Elemental Fortitude??, the lack of significant {{misc:magic:earth.png?14&nolink}}earth and {{misc:magic:air.png?14&nolink}}air magic leaves troops vulnerable. | Jotunheim's cold preference clearly shows in their troop lineup.

| Their troops break down into two branches. On one hand, Jotunheim has access to hard-hitting, durable size 4 giants. On the other hand there are the Vaetti, who offer a high attack density as they are only size 1. Both branches complement each other and in general give the best result when combined, as the giants can deliver damage even through tough protection, while the Vaetti increase the overall attack density. However, the non-wolf riding Vaetti lack snow move and are only map move 10, whereas even the most heavily-armored Jotuns are map move 12 //and// have snow move. This means that Vaetti (on foot) can significantly slow down Jotunheim's armies, at least in friendly territory. | Their troops break down into two branches.

| The priests are only mediocre, as Jotunheim has no access to {{path>H3}} priests and, while not expensive they come without any special properties, although they are quite durable compared to human priests. | The priests are only mediocre, as Jotunheim has no access to {{path>H3}} priests and, while not expensive they come without any special properties, although they are quite durable compared to human priests. |
| Similar their commanders do not stand out, as the highest leadership commanders only have 80. Notable though is the ??Jotun Jarl?? for being an {{path>H1}} Priest as well as a decent leader, enabling him to lead smaller groups of sacred units early on. | Similarly, their commanders do not stand out, as the highest leadership commanders only have 80.

| Jotunheim's mages are more focused on sorcery paths, gaining good access to Death, Nature and Blood Magic and some Astral, while the ??Jotun Skratti?? adds strong water magic. Skrattir are also the star unit when it comes to the commanders of Jotunheim, as they perform very well in different roles. They are shapeshifters and gain 10% regeneration in werewolf form, which makes them very good thugs with some equipment. This ability also enables turbo communions, which is one of the strong suits of Jotunheim. | Jotunheim's mages are more focused on sorcery paths, gaining good access to Death, Nature and Blood Magic, and some Astral, while the ??Jotun Skratti?? adds strong water magic.

| //Discuss the top few generic spells that most increase a nation's combat power or synergize with national strategies. These will generally be early-to-mid game spells since individual spells matter much more during those periods of the game. Some examples are ??Foul Vapors?? for [[c-tis-ma | MA C'tis]], ??Horde of Skeletons?? + ??Sabbath Master??/??Sabbath Slave?? for the [[niefelheim-ea | Niefelheim]] line of nations, ??Mother Oak?? for the [[pangaea | Pangaeas]], ??Wailing Winds?? access, etc. For broader advice on magic use, link to [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023973143 | Not-Lola's Basic Magic Use Guide]].// | Like [[niefelheim ea | EA Niefelheim]] and [[utgard la | LA Utgård]], MA Jotunheim can also make use of powerful Skratti turbo communions. Two Skratti ??Sabbath Slave??s (maybe four or more for critical battles) can support several Gygja ??Sabbath Master??s chain-casting ??Horde of Skeletons?? for near-infinite amounts of chaff. Skellyspam combined with ??Foul Vapors??, ??Rigor Mortis?? and ??Relief?? (also in the Enchantment school!) make midgame Jotunheim communions difficult to fight without battlefield wipes (e.g. ??Fire Storm??) or well-placed evocations. Have a master cast ??Elemental Fortitude?? and ??Personal Regeneration??, and hit the Skrattir with ??Enlarge?? for extra durability, and use evocation bait to protect communion mages from being sniped. |
| |
| //This is also a good place to point out notable magic weaknesses, such as a lack of nature access making a nation vulnerable to Foul Vapors.// | {{misc:magic:nature.png?14&nolink}}Nature Skratti are particularly important for their ability to cast ??Foul Vapor??s (with a ??Thistle Mace??), as well as providing access to the dreaded physmoss combo (??Liquid Body?? + ??Mossbody??). They can be made very difficult to kill with minimal gear, and can even wipe entire armies if they are unprepared for a mini Foul Vapors supercombatant. |
