Are we talking about the same thing?. The only weaponry on a Black Hunter that's more damaging than a Hunter Spider is its lance. And it gets to use that once per battle. And since your numbers are probably smaller than enemy numbers, oneshot weapons don't make a whole lot of difference. If you're fighting equivalent-sized units: you own Elephants no matter what shape you are in; if you're fighting Hydras, then you're better off in spider shape anyway.
I'd rather pay zero upkeep than have the lance.

Yeah, that was my whole point. You want the rider to die.

Good for you. With a rainbow bless, you'll have additional magic diversity too.

No it's not, it's 10, which is average (and just 1 less than the rider had). And it's more than 10 if you take an S bless from a rainbow god.
E9 buys you nothing for the late game, and it makes your net income lower.
