Keeping level 5 units alive

[joasoz]

Hi

I am playing Mage/Hard and using Trolls and Giants/Green Dragons (switching a bit). I also have Inquisitors, Paladins and Royal Griffins. Mostly I get away from fights with no losses.
I am at level 35 and use resurrection and heal a bit too.
The problem is that resurrection, healing and paladins doesnt help for dead level 5 units. I use healing to get a level 5 unit to full health, but sometimes a Troll/Giand/Dragon will die.

Then I only have one option which is the inquisitors (can phantom them aswell). I dont have timeback spell, so I dont know if this would have helped me here.

Are there any other spells/units that would keep my level 5s alive? I have managed to keep all alive up until now, but sometime I might make a mistake that my inquisitors may not be able to save me from.

Archmages: 50% Damage Reduction Shield
Sacrifice: get some troops (summon or hypnosis) and use it to resurrect your troops

Thanks. Sacrefice it is

Stone Skin, Mana Spring, and Divine Armor on level 3 are all great for making your L5 unit much harder to kill.

Demonologs can help you and only they can bring Archdemons back to life :/.
Shamans can heal your lvl 5 friends with their axes.

IIRC, summoned troops can't be sacrificed and hypnosis doesn't work either because it functions differently from how it did in KB:TL.

Rather, you have to sacrifice a non-LVL 5 group and then ressurect/paladin/etc. that group.

Yeah. I tried sacrefice on units from an egg and it was no go. This makes this spell a lot less interesting.

Druids can be very helpful. The animals they charm can be sacrificed.

Thats the reason i almost never use level 5 creatures in this game. The problem is level 5 creatures are provided on very low numbers (i hope this will be fixed on future titles lol) , and once u lost 2 or 3 u get lack off stack and cant buy more, so u just wasted money. I love level 5 creatures, but i only can find, for example 20 cyclops, 10 red dragons, 20 trolls and something like that. I ended with 38000 ls, and cant even buy 20 red dragons or 18 black dragons, the only unit that is full of plenty are giants, but they are useless against armored and high level creatures. I dont know if the avenging griffins casted by the royal ones can be sacrificed, i never tried (i never needed to xD, i dont have level 5 creatures) but it will be great (sacrifing 400 avenging griffins should be amazing lol).
