The problem is that lower level enemy units dont attack higher level units, they usually attack lower lvl stock troops. I always get my cyclops attacked by chamans, evil beholders, necromancers and so on. And as i remember, fear (even on level 3) doesnt work for high level creatures. The only thing u can do is using sacrifice spell or cast divine armour / stone skin as fast as u can on your level 5 troop, so the enemy dont waste turns on em. If u have high defense level 5 units, like cyclops with divine armour, the enemy probably dont even waste turns on em (only if there is a chamans, evil beholders and some units on the enemy force).
