If they don't have a lightning ring. Thunder strike and orb lightning. If they don't have a ring of fire, incinerate. If they don't have a ring of cold, frozen heart.

For frozen heart or incinerate to work, you would need several mages casting simultaneousl AND hope your opponent is foolish enough not to know what your mages can do and provide the correct elemental resistance.

Thunderstrike and Banefire tend to miss alot, at which point the doom horror(s) eat your lunch.

Orb lightning you better have amazing air mages who are also lucky, since orb lightning is also quite imprecise... and furthermore short ranged. Again nevermind the fact that the DH will PROBABLY have a ring of tamed lightning.

Skeletons or lifeless troops will also work. Any semi-tough SC should also function quite well.

Sure you could throw out some chaff to slow the doom horror down, maybe. Although when I have tried this tactic, the Doom Horrors ignored my massed skeletons and kept eating casters.

As for semi-tough SC... have you looked at a DHs stats/attacks? Good... freaking... luck... maybe say 15-20 bane lords armed with moon blades will do the trick.

Only time I killed a doom horror was when it foolishly stormed a castle, alone, with no AMA, and fell victim to 20 or so sauromancers mass-casting disintegrate with one sauromancer casting earth grip to hold him in place... only two sauromancers died. Of course, next up were TWO doom horrors, and they had no trouble eating everyone alive.

Feh.
