Best summon?

Ether Gate's cost is too much for me. 90 Astral gems could go towards something better.

I'd rather have the wights and wraith lord, or better yet, two wraith lords and a bane lord.

Well I understand that you can get the wights considerably earlier, like probably 15 turns or so.

But assuming that you had an astral 4, death 1 caster, and you also had a bunch of death 2/3 casters and you had either 90 death gems of 90 astral you are saying that you would rather the wights?? That seems crazy to me. The ether warriors are simply superior troops.

wights... you mean Darth Vaders?

Do Ether Warriors have zero fatigue?

I like a lot of them. Scorpion Beasts are good as Machaka, since you have fire gems and cheap FE mages to summon them.

Vine Ogres are extremely efficient, especially if you have druids.

Horde From Hell is great as Mictlan, for the flying demon leader.

The death summons from wight on up are extremely good, though the lowest one (5D gems, unit) is my least favorite. And I like Pale Riders as much as Behemoth, usually.

Succubi are very fun and potent.

Vampire Lord is rather good - he can call free vampires - immortal army after a while.

The higher-level ones are of course, quite impressive...

15 ether warriors can be killed by one or two properly equipped bane lords, so of course I'd rather have the wight based summons. The wraith lord choice is completely superior, since he's both immortal and has death 3 for soul vortex.

So what you are saying is that any unit that can not be equipped is useless. Hence only commander units are worthwhile summons. Ok.

Sounds like the old SC argument I have seen many times on this board but whatever.

Heck you must think that this entire thread is useless.
