I like the gorgon with 3 air. Mistform, air shield, mirror image > improved regen.

KOA does not have a hoof attack, but a magical 14 damage alicorn attack, coupled with 16 damage lance, plus the charge bonus,and a broad sword.

They can take out a summer lion in 1 round. And they all typically have 3-4 stars exp, which boosts their morale, str., attack, and defense. With recuperation, the core Koa's you recruit in turns 5-15, are still alive and well at mid and end game.

Once you get a pack of 20+, they can decimate enemy armies while taking few if any casualties. And armies that rout rarely make it off the field alive with that 30 ap.

Pangaea's armored calvary, of which i am quite fond of for the 40 gold price, do not have the magical attack. And sometimes struggle to kill ethereal units. The KOA shine against ethereal units.
