The air elemental is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI.

Fierce winds that follow the dragon-veins along deep chasms, the cliffs of high mountains, or wide-open plains can collect and carry powerful motes of elemental energy. These have been observed to condense and generate Air Elementals. Spontaneous appearances are also associated with the most violent storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes that lash the surface of Ashan. A rare variety of Air Elementals can also be born from the dying breath of high-ranking priests of Ylath, the Dragon-God of Air. These spirits are unusually potent, and generally viewed as lords among their kind.^OffBck

Tactics

Air elemental has the lowest damage of all elements, but it has a range attack and will hit up to 4 creatures. The health and high defense ensures that they do not disappear too quickly from the battlefield, despite their often low stack numbers.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to combine their attack with the Soaked effect.
