VQ Counters - NO Debates

Yes there is. Try Revive Wight under Conjuration-3, and costs 5 death gems, requiring Death-2.

And/or Revive Bane - same requirements, but 8 death gems for an even better unit which is a leader with full slots.

Early stuff, and looks pretty cheap and threatenning to VQ's, to me. Undead, no fatigue, no soul to vortex, almost no fear, immune to cold, magic weapon to ignore etherealness, nice combat skills and armor.

It just gets better at somewhat higher levels too - bane lords, spectres, and eventually... well, I think some of the level-7 conjuration summons look scarier than a VQ. Wraith Lord has very similar abilities, but is also a bad-*** fighter. At that point, one can match or better the VQ for 40 death gems. You need to survive to Conj-7 though.
