weapons of sharpness is the bee's knees. even fairly crappy troops can take down a decked SC - 15 prot against a swarm of troops just doesn't cut it. i've had hoburgs take down a massively regenerating water queen; heck, if you need to, you can always buy a disposable army of barbarians - w/ WoS and a couple defensive buffs they will mow through almost anything (though of course they are very vulnerable to elemental damage spells).
