since your level 4 units have a higher total HP than level5's
and you would lose more than the 5's
but all in all it's about how much damage or make the enemy immobile of doing anything on the first 3turns

Viking/Warrior has "shield of rage" which has a chance to purify the effect at the beginning of every round. Some bosses and dragons can be problematic and require a bit more care for precisely what you described!
You can always dispel too.
But, 5s are harder to resurrect... and you can't resurrect them en-masse like level 4s.
Problem is, you aren't going to wreck the enemy as fast with level 5s all things being equal.

Horsemen with Driller, Rangers with Siege Crossbow...
My current build is more flexible than my old fashioned 100% critical shooter build. Only 68% critical for the Rangers (Elf), but hey, if I get a lucky "Berseker Double Damage" roll along with Critical hit, that's about 48K dmg and I only have 180 of them.
What makes me sad is, I can get Jarls up to 99% critical but... they are too slow, so Horsemen are my best bet still.
I have the Ogre set too but... eh, who needs Trolls?
