Anyway, in my game, i got some funny sized black dragon stacks against me check out pic below

He seems to always transform to the 3rd creature in your lineup the first round. Personally, I bought a snake and put it there, and then wiped all his snakes before he got a chance to transform again.

Hi all, i found accidentally very brutal combination of units, companion and item on the beginning of this campaign. This combination helps me finish campaign in two hours without problem on hard difficulty.
I bought from first NPC three royal plants, diploma in botany (+10 att, +10 def for thorns, ents and dryads ) and as companion choose gardener Hagrid. This companion is really overpowered because my plants were indestructible, he has huge hp boost for plants but what is really strong that he can ressurect plants every round.I won 90% fights without loss thanks to ressurect from gardener.
But be warned there is no chalenge with this combination, but i was very lucky on the begining. POWER OF PLANTS .

Here is my imp/mage result with "0 loss" against Giant Spider..



Used only 4 Royal Thorns...

Do Not intersect the Royal thorns...
Do Not spawn any plants during the fight bcz of Hagrid random heal skill..

Would you elaborate how Hagrid works? His description is a little vague. The bonuses for plants and such are nice, but there is no mention of healing a plant.

Maybe his Special: Calls forth a random troop of plants, really don't know, but he is really nice gardener

Yep. i did this similar way whole game, but i made it faster with another plants and ents from elves, i was higher level and warrior class ( i got levels from contracts) ...but this is absolutely ownage. I demolished all bosses and head hunter contracts with this strategy (only demon enemy from head hunters on the beginning was a little fire ouch to my plants ), in the late game i used stack of normal plants (up 8k at the end, 47% damage), ents, dryads, faeries and dragons for bigger variety. LV61 hard/warrior at the end.
