easy way of killing kraken
 

the kraken can be easily killed WITHOUT any losses

use archmage/beholders/inqisitours/shamans/(insert ANY RANGED unit here)

first turn bring your shaman close to one of the tentacles

cast
phantom on it and use the mage shield on it
and maybe magic SPRING if u are a mage(dual cast)
and keep placing totems around your army
and every turn keep casting phantom

and surround your army with those totetms

untill no spots are left

and the kraken get's bugged(it never spawns anymore deviilfishesn nor does it do any damage

and if it does the shaman will soak it up

;-)

(oh and keep all TENTACLES at LOW HP like 100 health left or something so u don't have anymore devilfishes left to place on;-)

then go kill all tentacles at once

and gg kraken :D

nice hint

Phantom the shaman... kill the tentacles in unison... didn't think of these, excellent tips.

I myself had vampires/demonesses/demons/inquisitors/shamans and phantomed the demons. No casualties on impossible, but it took a while... I'm almost sure your battle tactics makes for a faster kill.

you can apply the same trick to the SPIDER boss


bosses are hardly a problem this way;-)

NO CASUALTIES everytime

last hero or mage shield with horseman for turtle

phantom/shaman> kraken/spider

or royal thorn/thorns>kraken spider ^^

but then u get losses for spawned units right? ^^

Technically, summoned creatures, be they from a unit ability or a spell, do not count towards the casualty count for either side.

The good news is that you can go ahead and summon all you want with spells and thorns/dryads/demons, send them off to slaughter, and still get no casualties.

The bad news is that enemy summons, especially seen in item suppression battles, don't generate more XP.

ah so coffin spawns ain't counted as casualties either?:P

Correct, coffin spawns don't count as casualties.

Early on, if you see a coffin, immediately kill it with the horsemen to summon a meat shield. :)

"meat shield" isn't exactly the right term here ;) but I agree with the tactic

I killed the Kraken with phantoms of Giants. Placed my other units so that the tentacles won't hit them at retaliation, and killed all the devilfishes every round. Wasn't hard.

Spider is even easier...

Turtle is the easiest, I used a stack of 45-50 Vampires (bats) and summoned Cerberi, plus damage dealing spells. Went down in 4 rounds.

how the hell you got 50 vamps on turtle ...
