take pangenea or vanheim or ulm . rush to con 7 .

Putting aside the idea of why you would even want to rush to const-7 to make nation specific common troops useful against SCs...
or why you couldn't just use crossbows with wind guide, flaming guide or just a mass of them...

because flaming arrows shouldn't work according to saber cherry's dice odds

flaming arrows has 8 ap damage .
avg. damage on a 20 protection unit : 1.29
avg. damage on a 30 protection unit : 0.321

the normal x-bow missile : marignon :
10 ap damage :
so avg. damage on 20 protection : 2.13
" " " " 30 " : 0.570

i wouldn't rely on that .
staff of storm lets you use only 50% of missiles or precision is -5 one of the 2 iirc .

invulnerability is a common sc buff . if you place your sc rearmost the hitting odds even with wind guide aren't too good .
so i wouldn't rely on killing him unbuffed in the first round of combat if you are defender .

furthermore lategame robe of invulnerability could be in use or a high prot armor .

bane lords + wraith lords & a couple of others have already something about 20 prot unequipped .

so you have quite a high chance not killing the sc . guess what happens if he flies in your archers :
lots of losses through friendly fire hehe .
