Look, the original statement I disagreed with was, "50hp giant is worth ~250hp of *good* troops, give or take, although with gear and blessing the giant is likely even better." Clearly that excludes blessing and gear. It is with that statement that I took issue. 100 HP worth of unblessed Jotun Jarl is not worth 500 HP of Principes.

I absolutely agree that blessings can change this equation. So can certain special abilities on the giant unit like Niefel chill, although I don't know if that's sufficient to tip the balance without a bless.
