Appearance/discussion of Inferno units.

Pit Lords are good because of their ability to kill any one enemy with a single strike from their sword. This isn't the same ability as the Harpies (where they kill one and that's it); the Pit Lord, in addition to killing one enemy, also adds the damage from a normal attack. It's best to use them against powerful units (preferably splitting them up for greater effect). You can take down a summoned Phoenix with one Pit Lord, and they're good against Dendroids. Overall, it's a great unit, although its speed and initiative are terrible, which is a shame. But it's still strong, although I would trade its spells for higher speed and initiative. IMHO.
