My 1st island imp. no loss playthrough - some thoughts and a few tips

Hum hum. I got 3 trolls (divided into 3 stacks). But the boss keeps killing them. Should I bring more units? Or am I doing something wrong?

Stone skin them? You need to reduce their incoming damage so they aren't completely mauled by things. I guess keep one in each 'corner' of the arena so that when the spider moves you aren't stuck in the wrong place.

Mana Spring alone was enough for me to keep them alive, and it let me continue to spam spells at the boss.

Honestly once you beat the first island the game is pretty simple to no-loss. Trolls beat the next 3 islands and after that there are 101 ways to break the game.

Y'know, considering it is a giant undead spider, it never occurred to me to check if it's basic attacks dealt poison. That'd make stoneskin less important by far.
