Sandels of the Crane -
1) a poison golem wearing jade armor and wielding a banner of the damned
2) A decently outfitted mummy
3) A moderately tough guy with good reinvig who casts a few nasty battlefield enchantments then pops around unscripted casting some of those nasty short range spells.

Sure, it's not foolproof, but for 5S it's got it's uses.
Even a guy with a bladder-stick can do lots of damage. In fact I prefer that to a poison golem. The golem puts out a cloud no matter where he lands (even in your own troops) but a bladder stick only clouds if there is someone standing there for the guy to hit. There are a number of good area affect items, and even spells, which can have a great combat effect with the crane sandals.

Items which toss out units can be good to give the crane guy also. Popping all over the battlefield and dropping a couple of units in each spot can mess up good formation planning by the other guy.

Its been particularly handy when going up against a well defended castle.
