There only weakness is to archery fire.

Snakes are expensive, but nice to sprinkle in w/ ordinary troops if you're pursuing a bless strategy.
I think that's the problem...from the little I've seen Argitoth write about his usual C'tis strategy, there's no room in it for Water. And so it makes sense that he's never had an opportunity to give Serpent Dancers a fair shake.
