What troops to replace Royal Snakes?

[kadrzys]

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^^

Yeah, Royal Snakes are made of pure awesome!

Any replacement would need to have the no retaliation ability for sure - that is simply an invaluable ability. I guess I will scour the Elven Lands for some troops that could fit the bill. If there won't be any, I will keep on using the RS.

It's a pity there are no 4th level snakes to take the place of Royal Snakes (or at least I assume there aren't).

For sure they are very useful near the beggining.

Along with seadogs & shamans they are the best units upto the freedom isles.

For even more Royal Snake power, you can upgrade a druid's staff to a Great Druid's Staff, to get 50% to the attack of animals...
