What nation(s) are best for fire? (Besides Abysia)

None of these nations has fire immunity like Abysia does, so friendly fire becomes more of an issue. I imagine Flame Eruption for Abysia is a real hoot, but I've never tried it yet (still learning the game).

The destructive potential of flame eruption is huge, but it's risky and not very easy to pull off (In my experience at least) as you need to get your mages very close to the frontline, where the survival rate is noticeably lower than safely at the back.

I've tried it a couple of times in important battles, and it has won me the battle on occasion, but never without loosing at least some of my mages, while another time I just got all my mages killed, exept for those who ended up in a bad position where all they did was cast a fireball anywhere.

So to sum it up it's a potentially powerful tactic, but you'd best script everything carefully, and expect losses, so only try it if it's really worth it. (or if one of your mages has upset you of course. )
