easy of killing kraken

[Razorflame]

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?

[loreangelicus]

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 ...
