Fire 9 doesn't affect missiles. Water 9 and Quickness does, though, and as even Yavana Archers have Awe and decent defense, they have some survivability in melee, and their high strength offsets their low-damage attacks.

Death 9 is also interesting in that the 350% affliction chance also works for missiles.

Kailasa can also summon better sacred units later. Gandharvas are armored. The unarmored ones are still a nice addition to those forces.
