Like i said earlier, mages in the castle are what i use to cast mother oak and gift of health. Many of them come with 1 death already, so if you can find 30 death gems you could set up one of your mages to summon.

I like using that weapon with my gorgon that create an aoe poison effect. That combined with petrification clears out most troops pretty fast. Especially early in the game when access to other magic gems is limited.

I may experiment with trample boots, but the gorgon can win most fights with petrification, and i fear trampling may exhaust her.
