Re: VQ Counters - NO Debates

Another option is to send few flying/teleporting SCs who are ready to fight right away (without wasting time on any buffs). Preferrably el-cheapo SCs.

Early in the post I gave an example of fail safe unit that disposes of the VQ.
Golem with flying boots, flamnbeau, BS Helmut, red pearl, luck pend.
I have tested it extensively - never has lost to a VQ 1v1 - she gets nailed before she buffs. I have let her buff and it is 60% kill success rate. With VQ with misc army things change but I know I would send more the one on a strike anyways?  2 to trample chaff 2 to hit the queen works quit nicely.
What seems interesting is that there are other successful units that work so it does not exclude nations.
