Especially given the Moloch Cost effectiveness.

Water 9 is incredibly synergistic, but there's no template with both paths, so it's horrifically expensive.

The only serious MP usable 9/9 is fire/astral using Bahomet for Marignon, and even that gets a little crazy in terms of scale sacrifices.

Jotuns with w9/n9 or hydras with fire9/w9 sure are fun in SP, though.

I like Jotuns with n9 and e9. Earth mother is good for this. This lets them basically fight forever without getting fatigued, the beserk, increaed natural protection, and regeneration make niefel giants nearly invincible against normal troups.

Without the reinvigeration they eventually tire and are overun when fighting a larger force.
