Counter-heroes in duel mode (3.1).

Actually, you could have placed the Titans separately from the Rakshasas, perhaps with a barrier in between. Also, the level 1 mages could have been better. Besides, the mages essentially skipped their first turn, even though they could have, for example, attacked with a fist or targeted the fairies. Although the phoenix idea is good, it can be killed with a crystal or blocked with a wall.

I also considered those options... but then the towers would be vulnerable, and they can't be moved. Also, level 1 mages would be a liability against a heavy barrage. And if you place a level 1 unit next to the main stack, the dragons will still move first and can target the main stack (players don't usually place it in the center), and that level 1 unit will only get in the way of using the phoenix to protect the mages. I've tried different approaches with Galib, and it's quite challenging for him in any scenario. And I was definitely too hasty with the sphere (although it's still a question of whether it's better for both to have a 9% chance of deflecting, or a 49% chance of not deflecting). I was in a hurry and painting the picture with broad strokes. The crystal on the phoenix should be Galib's reserve of strength, so he can have time to raise his next stack, and the phoenixes move quickly and can even run away. I haven't played as Galib in a while, maybe I was wrong. I play him better on the server, when it's all real
