As you yourself wrote – 4 champions per week – on large maps – you improve tactics and life magic – in this variant, in my opinion, they are better than Angels – because there will be a large number of champions, with customized regeneration (+ additional spells) under the general's morale – a dangerous army :)
You need a lot of champions because of first strike, so that the damage from the counterattack does not exceed their HP...
