Warriors of the 5 elements have cold resistance and don't care about the cold aura of Niefelheim.
When I say TC sacred beat Lanka sacreds, I speak out of experience. Just try it.

I've tried the niefel on TC one before. I used to duel a friend of mine who liked niefel, and would build jarls with bunches of popsicle friends. The problem is that, unless you're 100% cold immune, eventually the fatigue from the jarls will get you. TC definitely wins against relatively small numbers of giants. But once you get 10+ in one province, it is really hard to carve through them before the cold aura knocks everyone unconscious.

10+ jarls? It will take a lot of time to gather these. Which other early age nation has blessed units that will withstand such a 10-jarl attack? Mictlan jag warriors get frozen after 2 rounds of melee and salughtered, but they can hardly be called a weak sacred unit.
By the time Niefelheim can field 10 sacreds, T'ien Chi will have researched at least one school to level 3, and will be able to field some mage artillery to counter the giants, or have flaming arrows.
