What's a "mobile wrather"?

A flying unit that is equipped with a staff of storms and with enough gems to cast Wrathful Skies where needed. An awesomely powerful battlefield spell.

I think you are getting the powers of the two units a little confused. Harbringer: 2A 3H, Arch Angel 3F 4H. But in any case it's a little bit of a stretch to say that a 50 gem summon is worth it for just Holy-4. There may be isolated cases, Ulm comes to mind, but in general that would be a huge waste of gems.

Again I'll be honest here. I have never used them against devils. No wait that's not true I now remember trying them out against devils in one of my "what the heck can beat devils" tests. They got, as you would guess from the stats, spanked by devils. Now that was with no bless effect. With a seriously bless effect ( like F9S9 or F9W9 ) maybe they could hold their own.
I was actually thinking that they would do better.
Speaking of better, what the heck is up with the harbringers horn? I have tested them in huge numbers against devils and the horn, which looks deadly, does very little if any damage. Does it perhaps have a MR check?

I think this is mostly due to the fact that SC's are quite effective in combat and are very mobile. The combination is quite deadly in a strategy game.
