If they also get Weapons of Sharpness they are very good .
True, but even then they can't hit ethereal or mistformed troops very well.

Against 350 Devils as Chazar describes a few false horrors won't be enough to hold them off.
Who said anything about a few false horrors? Send in 20 seraphs, and you'll have 40 a turn.

100 Mech men and a few mages will probably win , 100 Storm demons maybe also.
Both of those are huge gem investments. 20 Seraphs is 2000 gold and lost research at what sounds like the stage of the game where research is just about over.

With 20 Seraphs there is the problem of rain of stones and earthquake though . The tartarian cyclops has always 2A 3E as magic . He could easily do rain of stones , weapons of sharpness with earthboots , earthquake , petrify , legions of steel , strength of giants .

The game seems to be in the stage where Tartarians are commonly available . 700 devils alone cost 4900 blood when summoned or 1500-2000 when generated by 25 soul contracts forged with or without hammers .

My guess would be that the game is at turn 50-70 .

I fully agree with etheral + mistform + luck . There something like devil thugs with moon blades would probably be needed

Without unique items how would you equip your mass produced AQ vs. devils ?
Mass produced Air Queens? I'm trying to limit this to the situation described by the original poster, not imaginary situations. Basically, you need luck, lifedrain, quickness, and regeneration. You also want a storm. If it was ice devils vs. normal devils, then the equipment loadout is quite different.

There it would be: Blood Thorn, Lucky Coin, Robe of Shadows, Flying Boots, Antimagic Amulet, Ring of Regen.

Of course, this assumes that no battlefield magic is being used, in which case, you'll have to use different tactics.
Yeah etheralness is one of the most important skills for an anti-troop SC imo . Without stuff like Elephants or other good tramplers can kill your SC luckily also .

I am tensed at which turn Chazars game is if it is >60 then mass produced AQs could be soon a reality
