...smite demon... I don't have enough holy... wait... I do have like 5 2-holy priests with my army... probably not strong enough.

It's funny that Smite Demon hasn't been mentioned...

Against a Demon horde, it's no good because it only targets one.

Against an SC, it's not very good because it does low damage, less than smite, and also it's MR. You'd be better off with an H3 casting Banishment for the penetration+1 than Smite Demon. H2's ... well, I guess if you have a bunch, they could cast Smite Demon, but you're probably better off just having them Sermon, or Banishment in case you hit an unexpected skelly spam army.

But does higher H level help with smite demon or still for example H4 prophet should cast banishement instead of smite demon?

H2/H3/H4 Banishment:

Area of Effect 6/8/10
Range 25/30/35
Damage 7/9/11
Penetration: 0/+1/+1

H2/H3/H4 Smite Demon:

Area of Effect 0
Range 25
Damage 10/15/20
Penetration: 0/0/+1

H3/H4 Smite:

Area of Effect 0
Range 25
Damage 20
Penetration: +0


H4: Against an SC Demon, Smite Demon.
H3: Smite
H2: Attack closest (joke)


But this is just the best these guys can do, it's not something to base a strategy on. Dai Oni's have base MR 18, so you'll need a lot of luck.

You're better off with something like Frozen Heart if he's not immune, or Petrification, whatever standard anti-SC tactics you are using.

I think that EA C'tis should just go directly to irresistible life drain. That's a perfect spell against any SC, except, probably, the ones with Blood Vengeance.

Ok, so I lost the battle due to his SC demons. I'm screwed, ther's like 6 of them now and more are on the way. Unless there's a way to gaurantee killing those things I'm definitely done for.

It's not just the demons that will kill me, it's the spells Yomi is able to cast.
