I can confirm that a Cyclops with poopy armor and an eye shield will beat the heck out of F9 blessed Jaguars all day long.

But F9 jaguars is just ... well silly.
Mictlans optimum bless is probably an F9W9S6 or an F9W9S4B4 or F9W9S4N4. An no, I don't think a cyclops with poopy armor is going to beat the heck out of that.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
I'd go with Air 4/Earth 4 on an Ancient Kraken, if you want him cheap. It'll allow you to eventually get him out of the water, and along with the many excellent spells those two paths grant, they'll give him +4 Prot and +4 Prec. Both very handy.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
The kraken isn't really going to be casting any offensive spells, so I dunno what you're going to do with the extra precision.

well when the kraken gets on land, it will be helpful should the kraken become involved in a spirited game of marbles.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
air isn't really needed for kraken at all, it's a melee powerhouse with multiple attacks and a pretty nice amount of health, earth may be worth it though.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
That depends on which nation you're playing. EA R'lyeh need a water/air pretender to forge amulets of the fish.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
Please save this for a Kraken thread. I'm more interested in tactics, not pretender designs. I don't count pretenders as low cost tactics anyhow as they use up an extremely limited resource, design points.
Bow of war on a water mage. Cast Quickness and then fire. Improvements to this tactic include:
-nature or air magic to increase precision.
-sacred with a death bless for increased affliction
-same mage or another casting flaming arrows for AP damage

Re: Low Cost Tactics
As I recently found out in my first ever MP game, flagellants can be surprisingly effective against powerful thugs like Fomorian Kings(that took out my normal armies). Worth using, especially when you get them for free.

Now that you mention it, MA Oceania would be pretty good at this, as they have Water and Nature on the same mage (Mermage) and a A1 mage to forge the bows with (Sirens on land). Not to mention the fact that with reduced Water magic, the Mermages have limited utility on land, so this might be a good idea for them. Maybe slap an Air-Shield and Luck amulet on them too to keep them safe.
