i can't agree with this. Dai oni with a little bit fo new equipment and a round or two of buffs can easily turn the battle. In my last MP with Yomi I had prophetized a Dai Oni and fileld him with relitivly cheap gear. he often won the battles all by himself. The key to it is low/zero encumberance, and regeneration.

I would rather have my Dai oni soaking up chaff troops and slaughtering them wholesale than sitting back and casting spells untill fatigue 100.

Demon sorcerers make cheap researchers if you spam 'em. For firepower, though - yeah, I second what the above guys said. Flaming arrows + bakemono hordes (assuming your opponent doesn't have access to arrow fend!) + massed hannya are an impressive sight.
