"Mirrors"

Kostya, I think it's complete nonsense)) First off, you won't just crush the guard like that, losses are inevitable. And then where's the guarantee that the Dragon Fly Hive isn't large?

Everything is naturally played by circumstances. I've seen how the local top players played on XL in SoD without upgrading Gremlins. Maybe the external dwelling was a Naga, maybe some other circumstances allowed them to do so, I don't remember. And regarding breaking through the guard, you could use Solmyr, two strikes and the guard is finished, and then the Nagas will finish off the remnants, that's one option. But it's not for me to judge, since this tactic is used, and by far from weak players, so they must find something in it.
