Oh, come on. They are two slots short when on land, and not particularly harder
to kill than any other good SC. Not with a squad tailored for that purpose.

As for killing it with a SC... I my current game I have a SC that would eat her
alive in two rounds. And that guy is a horrible _mistake_ that I inherited from
from my uncle.

And only one Water Queen do regenerates out of water. The other two drown.
If you give them an amulet of the fish, the air around them turns to water,
so they are still surrounded by water.
IMHO the water queens are the worst of all the elemental royalty. You have to waste a slot just to get on land, and the spells you get access to with W4 or whatever they have are unimpressive.

They're great underwater though.

I personally think that quicken self and breath of winter are fantastic personal buff spells.
Those spells are fine, really, but the earth kings have summon earth power, invulnerability, AND they already regenerate. The air queens have mist form, and air shield as well as the ability to cloud trapeze and fly out of the box and shock immunity. The fire lords have ethereal for free, and come with a 13 AP fire shield. Admittedly, they're pretty bad compared to air and earth, but they really don't have to cast any buff spells so you can send them right into battle with two shields, and lots of army, and watch chaff get destroyed on their large AP fire shield. The one that comes with 1E can cast ironskin on himself.

The water queens are really only amazing when fighting underwater, IMO, and otherwise they're just bad versions of the other royalty. The other royalty come with better self buffs, or basically already have everything the queen does.
