I'm not saying they're bad, but compared to the flexibility of a Dakini, I just couldn't see summoning them. Battle mages, teleporting/flying raiders/anti-SCs vs good troops. I suppose if you've hit the limit of Dakini you can equip. I've only played Patala in MP, so any Dakini I couldn't equip were needed for blood hunting. Maybe with Lanka, you'll have more blood and less need for non-thug Dakini.
On the other hand, with demon armies, you'll have more need for Mandeha...
Mandehas are highly situational. They are absolutely great on paper, but in fact they are rather vulnerable; 100% weakness to fire is hard to counter. Mandeha is more of a support SC, if such a thing even exists in Dominions.
Dakini are also very squishy. Sure, their mirror image and blood vengeance help, but they are not made to tank, and their damage is so-so. A very good raider, a nice support caster, a decent thug.
Should I need a damage-dealer, I'd rather GoR a Davana, now that GoR is so extremly cheap.
