I usually recruit WA's for Blood Duty more than Research Duty (though, they provide that function as well).

Often with Abysia, you are early game pounding with Troops and then at some point (usually turn 15ish) have to do a massive switch to blood to either field an immediate Devil Army (which your 4+ DB's can summon), Ice Devil or begin production of Soul Contracts. You can field quite a few more WA's than DB's when doing this because of the mandatory use of high gold troops that will allow you to win against nearby neighbors. And while mobility is a factor, I find it more important in those situations to have quantity of hunters over a highly mobile fewer.
