Wick ran it multiple times. I didn't because 1.) I was sanity-checking the methodology, not the units, 2.) luck didn't appear to play a huge part in any of the battles I examined. The Helhirdlings didn't get hit once with a lucky hit and then rout, they gradually degraded under infantry pressure. The Wind Riders died one or two each round and then routed--maybe they would have killed slightly more HI in a different run but it was pretty obvious they weren't going to do as well as Niefelheim. Niefelheim, of course, just needs to survive one or two rounds of combat and then everybody around freezes solid.
Obviously you would be more rigorous if you were trying to make a decision whether to take a bless strategy for a certain kind of unit. You'd want to check vs. heavy infantry, units with multiple attacks (Ulm's Steel Maidens or C'tis' Elite Warriors), cavalry (Helheim's Mounted Hirdmen), other blessed units (F9W9 Jaguar Warriors), archers, etc. I didn't.
