Are low-armor and low-HP units useful at all when going for no losses?

Well I hear target is very good, I haven't really used it much myself.

Early on in the game I used an all pirate force, which did great damage (I had loads of pirate items) but died quite easily, I found myself taking a lot of casualties though which is why I stopped using it.

Sacrifice doesn't work on summoned creatures, it will work on hypnotised creatures though.

For no loss I would stick to no more than one or two low health stacks as they will die easily. No retaliation troops like Royal Snakes or Fairy's are a possible, you'll still need to heal them somewhat but less at least.

Thorns are good, especially if you combo them with Fauns for healing. They can spawns loads of extra ones. (a few Royal Thorns early on are very nice)

I think tricks like using spawned/summoned troops with archers are some of the best tactics for no loss. I even used Orc Shamans to summon totems, these not only slow down the enemy but they also end up wasting their turn attacking them.

I hear other people like to use just a Dragon or Black Knights for no loss. I prefer to take all 5 stacks myself.

Daniel.
