In my current game I got a stack of Archdemons with a Call of Colossus and I have been loving them. They have one of the highest inititives in the game so you'll always go first. Their teleport ability means you can instantly engage any troublesome unit on the map or you can reach any chest on the map in one move. They are tough enough to avoid getting any loss on most occasions in early to mid game. Their 'halve' ability can really reduce an enemy stack quickly.
If you get these very early you can literally drop one in the middle of an enemy formation and sit watch the chaos without much danger of losing it.
In late game when enemy stacks are big enough to actually kill an archdemon with a counter attack, I hold their action to the last. This way I can target weakened enemies or ones that can't fight back. Since they get to go first every round, you can then move them back to safety next round and still have enough moves to reengage again.
