Default Re: Killing blessed giants

Different nations have different counters to blessed giants. To name a few:
1. Undead spamming. Ermor, Ctis and other nations with strong access to death magic can field squads of skelli spammers. The skellies can serve both as meat shield and to fatigue the giants.
Once the giants are busy with the undead spam move to killer spells. Drain life for example or if access to other schools then frozen heart, incinerate to name a few.

2. Entangle, vine arrows, entangle, vine bows, bonds of fire, false fetters etc. Stop giants, lower defense, move melee troops for the kill.

3. Create your own SCs. Bane lords, Wraith lords, Angels, Troll king, Elemental royalty etc.

4. Astral, Blood and Nature allows for enslave mind, charm and the equivalent blood spell to take control of the giants. Add communion and MR penetrate items for extra potency

5. Avoid them. Use raiding tactics. Best results when access to sneaking troops/summons and/or flying troops/summons.

6. Never tried it but sounds fun. Horror mark the giants.
