The skill which gives to a skald 90% rez of the losses from the random group? I presume it is rounded down so if you lose 1 black dragon you will not get it. I don't try to beat it on impossible with 0 losses but still it is easy to win most of the battles with no losses. Any *special* reason to take it?
Which reminds me - I play as Skald on impossible and am actually out of useful skald skills to take, providing I don't mix demons and humans etc.

Well combo it with trembling hammer on a lv1-3 unit and you can get more troops back than you lost...

And yes, it rounds down. But while it says "random" it does seem to always pick the stack with the most losses.

For me its more a convenience skill overall. Less fights I feel compelled to restart because I lost a lot of valuable troops by mistake.

I'm curious if that would make the skald the fastest build. But it is never 100% of the units lost? :( That's terrible.

I could make sense for a fast REAL TIME run since you could sacrifice a big group and keep up spare reserves (per the skald skill).

Not having to no loss but kill in the fastest/shortest time possible would be a very very interesting challenge/run for me.

In the previous game once you get access to dragons the game ended (as paladin). You could simply send them to a death and get 100% of them after the battle.

Yeah, the Solo Stack Black Knights + Armageddon or Solo Black Dragon + Armageddon build. :)
