Well, that's why I'm asking - I have never seen it happen this bad, and was wondering if I was just lucky (or you unlucky...), or if was tied to Luck scales maybe, which I had as Luck3 in both my cases where I was using lanterns.

Toran, you're right Humanbreds can't fight very well at all. But they can be useful eating up hits and arrows on their shields. I bought the spear ones too, in hope that the parry would make them last longer.

Ah, ok, same choice then. I find them surprisingly resilient against most enemies, they usually hold longer than the enemy probably prefers - they don't really hurt the enemy (unless fatigued from running into the shields/spears, or the Fire magic from behind), this is done mainly by the Fire mages with me. Where it definitely helps that the Humandbreds are 100% FR
But ethereal salamanders... yep, could be an idea. I know that one isn't exactly new, I just wasn't using it. Do you intermingle the Salamanders into the Humanbreds, or make them separate squads, consisting only of Salamanders?
