Wow, there does seem to be quite an imbalance between starting Demoness and Orc / Vampire.

Okay, I'm down to the final boss fight! 509 no loss battles in and I'm level 74.

I've been basically playing my "no res" party since level 30 or so of just ArchDemons and Dragon Riders.

I've tried a couple of fights with the boss and so far it is hard to prevent damage (about 4K worth in one shot from the big boss) - I've tried just Dragon Riders a couple of times, just ArchDemons a couple of times, and both together.

I'm a glutton for punishment, though, and I'm going to see if I can try to do it with just that group of units. I used up all my Ancient Knowledge scrolls, but have 10M gold. So I guess I could fight the Golem in the Shelter (@500K a pop) and try to get to level 75, not that it would make that big of a difference.

I do have a scroll that gives you -20% Leadership so I'm going to use that one and then I forgot that I have at least 1 each of all the other scrolls (or can go buy them) so that I should be able to go in with +10 Attack, Defense, and Intellect, +15% Critical Hit, +30 Mana / Rage (I guess I need to learn Calm Rage) to max out my hero's stats.

So we'll see how it goes, if I can't win with no loss using that group, then I have plenty of money to go buy other troops...
