*shrug* Again, lightning immunity is cheap to put onto any commander with a spare misc slot.
A Bane Lord with a Ring of Tamed Lightning and an amulet of magic resistance would probably do it for cheap -- takes only 1 air, 1 astral, a couple death. Comes with a magical weapon so mistform is meaningless, will laugh off the wrathful skies, has good enough MR to ignore the phantasmal weapons and to bypass blood vengeance, and doesn't get tired.

I'm not really familiar with what your force does exactly, but I don't think a strong opponent would have any difficulty finding antidotes to this. Cheap units that can be given magic items, given anti-shock items and wicked but cheap magic weapons.

dont *edit* "dis"count the physical prowess of the storm devils, their melee attack is still armor negatating even tho the lightning part of their attack do no damage the strenght does damage.
i wanna see your ice devil take on them as i am not sure of the outcome.

i could switch the storm devils for some very slow grand melee units(guard commander) and add "cast storm warriors"(or thunder ward which is much cheaper) and 1 more air gem but that's a bit too much research for me, now gimme a non lightning immune army to challenge this one if it's possible.

it's great for anything but caelum,storm devils,lots of mechanical dragons&men and ry'leh othernesses.

now gimme more suggestions ^_^

Uhm. That ID will tear up that army. Test it for yourself by making your own game with your army and an opponent with that equipped ID.

The ID will win every time. Even without any XP, with XP he's even better. A good way to get 2 or 3 stars easy is to send that ID against an Indy and he'll mop them up no problems.

Give you a Non-Lightning Immune army that beats that one? Why? Are you ignoring the fact that you can very easily get lightning resistance?

That army is very easily beatable by a SC, or if you prefer, an army.

How about 30 Mandragoras?

(Abysia default theme) I dunno what a Vanadrott is, but since you only have 6 total units (correct?) they are easily killed by fires from afar. Maybe two or 3 castings to get them all.

(C'tis default theme) If that doesn work, get 10 death mages, set to summon lammashtas and retreat. That will summon 20 lammashtas.

(whatever) If that doesn't work, maybe falling fires or falling frost with fodder to distract the devils.

Orrrrr how about 200 manikins? Global Enchantment: Haunted Forest, get 10 shamans, script "Swarm" each with one gem. The devils attack the swarm, the swarm turns into manikins. LOL!! 30 Mandragora are easily killed by 5 supercombatants, but 200 dragonfly-transformers are not.

Edit: Holy crap, that just gave me an idea for assassinations!!!! Script assassin: Swarm. The commander/body guard attacks the swarm, the swarm turns into manikins. ALMOST impossible to beat, unless the assassin is killed by a high-precision spell first combat round.
