I think I'm the one who'll be using Royal Snakes for whole game. I find them very, very and even more very
but I think it was just my luck because I was able to get 2x Royal Snake Ring and Snake Boots in my game. With froggy wife I got my Rotal Snakes at 67atk, 12-16 dmg and I can lead 360 of them. I use them as quick killers, best combinaton for me is bless in first turn and quick kill most annoying stack (f.e 10-15 Black Dragons with one hit, can get them because of high initiative first turn, tactics 2 and 4 speed because of +1 from Snake Boots). Second turn I cast Phantom on them and Timeback so I got full stack once again (heavy hits from other melee and ranged units) and nice 100+ Phantom ready for second wave of enemy melee. Since this turn I cast Phantom almost all the time and snipe out with original stack. At the end of fight (3-5 turns) I'm able to cast Ressurect as many times as needed (I got +9 mana every turn^^) and end fight with minimal or even no loses. I just defeated Xeona this way with only 4 Unicorns lost^^ I was thinking for a little time to divorce Feanora and merry Xeona for her 2x weapon slot but I can't give up with those snakes^^
