Guide on how to play with maggots:
Level up the skill and take these sub-skills: +strike against buildings and +number of maggots per hero level (it used to be not particularly useful until the number of maggots was reduced in a patch in favor of more HP per unit)
Level up the law for +1 starting energy.
Place the egg at the start of the battle with a neutral. Either within striking distance of one stack, or two. The bot wastes its turn destroying it. If the maggots hatch, it has to fight them while we dismantle its friends.
At the third law level, pick up taunt, and also grab the T1 cooldown spell and max it out to 2 charges per cast at the first opportunity.
The whole map now lies before us. Early on, worms with corpse devouring will help us, and later they will too, and by then the army will already be decent.
Against a player:
Summon maggots exactly at the end of the round, so the opponent either has no chance to break the egg at all, or very few chances. The maggots hatch, taunt is on the opponent, and they will try with all their might to destroy the maggots, or spend spells to move their stack away from them.
If we have living maggots and spare energy, we blow up. If there's no energy, we kill ourselves on the enemy and blow up too. The main thing is not to do it on our own units. Laws for explosion damage will help ensure the opponent's stacks don't stay indifferent.
Profit!
