I had a lot of heartburn over the situation you describe when I was EA mictlan fighting caelum. Zhao is right about the attack attack leech, that will get a commander sitting in the back row if your mage starts in the front. Then have the other two hunters on just leech from behind your pd in case the opponent attacks without buffing from the front row.

Life for a life is the holy grail, just have one of your hunters be a b2, it's not really that inefficient depending on what nation you are.

The other route is to have everyone retreat and retaliate next turn. Seeking arrow, mind hunt, a teleporting/trapezing thug of your own all can work.



Interestingly, I tried using swarm against the eagle king raiders, stupid AI wouldn't use the gems!
