Dealing with an early N9 E9 Niefel Giant rush

[OmikronWarrior]

It's not a direct counter, but Niefleheim has some of the worst PD in the entire game. A mere one milita grade giant per 2 points of PD. So, attack on as broad a front as possible (stealth troops a big help here) and make his economy cry. E9N9 is horrendously expensive in scales, and such armie can only be in a few places at once.

Good point about the PD, but sometimes you get pressured with no breathing room for your own offensive sallies. Also, Niefelheim can get a double max Bless relatively cheaply, because of their max cold Scale bonus.
