Which Dragon did you pick?

Not sure why you're so keen on Paladin Phantoms? I have Paladins in my army but I also have Royal Griffons and those seem the best bet for the Phantom spell. Grab the Summon skill on the magic tree and it enhances their ability to call in their Divine Guard or whatever those ghosty griffons they call in are called.

Using Phantom on the Royal Griffons essentially gives you twice the phantoms and all of them ALWAYS counterattack. I send the original Royal Griffon stack just outside of melee range, phantom them, use the Divine Guard from the original stack, use the divine guard of the phantom stack and I've got 3 flying meat shields you can put anywhere and always counterattack. Phantom on the Paladins seems inferior on a lot of levels, especially in a no-loss or minimal loss game. Inquisitors would be your secondary rezzers anyway.

Because the paladin phantoms act as a second paladin stack in the army and with multiple phantoms you can do multiple resurrections. In the end, that may well lead to no-loss victories.

I used to be really fond of Royal Snakes, and I still think they are a pretty good unit. But ultimately, you will want to replace them with something a bit more sturdy. Assassins, Griffons, or Royal Griffons are decent 'melee strong' unit replacements for them, in my opinion.

Royal Snakes are great, and I have boots with boost to all snakes, so it's harde to say bye bye to them.

Picked the light blue one, he's the cutest plus I am using a black dragon.

Yes, I'm quite aware of what the spell Phantom does.

Your no-loss strategy though is a reactive one and much harder to achieve. The better route is to not take losses in the first place and thus not need multiple resurrections.

This is achieved with numerous "throwaway" targets like Phantomed Royal Griffons and their Heavenly Guard. It's much easier to avoid losses when you have 3 stacks you care less about that you can put in front of anything that would do you any damage. Contrast that with your strategy of taking whatever damage is dished out and then having to line up all your wounded units around slow moving paladins, using the paladin's turn and hoping you have enough in the stack to rez for more health than the damage you took.
