[kianduatha]

Kenzokus for crowd control are still not bargain-basement; you use death gems for the horror helmet, and if you have death gems to spare you might as well just summon a shura. Think of a shura as a kenzoku with the horror helmet and boots of the messenger already equipped. It doesn't have awe, but well...it's 6 death gems. Your proposed Kenzoku is 8 astral, 7 death, 3 nature, and 3 mage turns.

Tatsus are absolutely useless. If you want something that flies, get a Ryujin from an underwater fort instead.

With Dai Tengu, don't forget to script them to cast Teaching Sign first to boost his air up to 4.
