I wanted to keep the shamans, but they suffer -2 morale with the demonesses in my army. Inquisitors only suffer -1 due to the Marshall's Baton. Although to be honest neither unit is there for their damage dealing capabilities so I guess it doesn't matter too much. I guess I'm still used to HoMM where your unit could have a critical morale failure and lose their turn.
Looking back at my Demonis post, I noticed that I had found Sprites somewhere. So fresh off my siege of Castle Nexy I scoured the place and found that the human merchant there had 109 Sprites. Awesome.
On my lunch break I tackled the level 30 arena fight. I wasn't taking it too seriously; I started the fight with 0 rage when I normally would have gotten at least enough to start the fight with Underground Blades, and my 5th unit was 109/2000+ Sprites.
I used my opening spell to Hypnotize one of the Knights, and used my Demonesses to charm the other stack. This kept the dragons busy, and Lullaby knocked out the dragonflies. I did take quite a few losses to the dragons mostly because they can fly over everything so I couldn't physically block them like I do with most units. However, I took control of the fight and eventually there were just 25 Knights left. Because their speed is so slow, I had several methods of control here. First, I could use the Demoness to charm them, although a failed charm would kill the stack. Second, I could use the infernal swap to place them on the far side of the board. Third, I could just run away. This gave me plenty of time to not only resurrect my losses but also generate about 500 extra Sprites with Sacrifice. One of the things I didn't highlight in my last post was that you can cast Sacrifice two times before you use Time Back to double your efficiency. However, a full stack of Sprites is over 2000 and I only get 130 for each Sacrifice, so it's going to take several battles to reach capacity.
I just made level 23 and here are my stats:
16662 Leadership
19 Attack (Using only Isshara's Whip. Xeona has 2 weapon slots but I swap the weapons out depending on what I'm fighting)
30 Defense
17 INT
