That is so mean. This is the only official campaign that has Hagrid in it.

Anyways, going (royal thorns + Hagrid + crown of blackthorne) suffers the same issue as the more overpowered (black knight + black helmet + eviln) strategy: it takes a LONG time to kill some bosses. And besides, it is rare that the game generates enough royal thorn spawns to hit your leadership cap.

If you want overpowered for this campaign I suggest going this route:

1) use (royal thorns + Hagrid + crown of blackthorne) AND (black knight + black helmet + eviln) for the tough bosses; throw in repair droids (single-stack + phantom or split stack, depending on the situation) if you like

2) use royal thorn combo/black knight combo/split stack repair droids/bone dragons for hero and suppression battles; phantom bone dragons engage the enemy, repair droids and royal thorns attack, black knight sits back and relaxes (so it is easier to "top up"); use sacrifice on repair droids to keep royal thorns/black knights/bone dragons at full stack

Btw, I've tested fighting Metamorph. If you use a full lineup of troops he actually goes with a regular assortment of troops. But if you fight him with "classic" single stack strategies his army seems to be composed of mainly that unit type BUT has the same unit count as his regular army. So for example you just bring a single stack of trolls his stack of 900 bears becomes 900 trolls. So do you guys have any suggestions as to the army composition to bring to this battle to MAXIMIZE the XP gain while still making the battle doable without any losses?
