Are lava warriors overrated?

[FNC]

The seem overrated and overly expensive.

They are sacred which is nice.

But very low precision bothers me. Mine are getting slaughtered which bothers me given the amount of money it takes to get them(55 gold).

The worth of Lava Warriors seems to be pretty well tied to whatever bless effect you're using. Which ones have you tried?

precision is useless to them, as they do not use missile weapons.

probably the best is to just mix them in w/ some normal abyssian heavy infantry. the Lava warriors will kill whatever they walk into (probably ), but they fatigue extremely quickly so they need to have immediate support around them

Yes, I was going to comment on that as well but I forgot. "Attack Skill" determines how often a unit hits another one in melee, while Precision is the accuracy stat for ranged weapons and spells.

Hmm, I am by no means an Abysia expert, but if you use the best defensive infantry to take the inital charge from the enemy, then have your lava warriors flank in from the sides to do damage, they seem to work well.

I do recall still losing a fair amount of them, but they can really deal out some damage. To me, they seemed pretty powerful when I used them a short while back.

lava warriors can kill anything if you have good enough blood blessing and a warm climate, they just need to stay alive long enough to get to the enemy.
