It's funny in itself, considering the Necropolis' initiative. They'll be taken down first. Only the Elves' ability works at full strength, considering their initiative, because their main strength is their attack power, and the defense of their archers. Especially the Ents, which block the path + endless retaliation + luck = a powerful barrier, and then all the archers can shoot.
Actually, I've changed my mind about the ability; the best one is still the Mages'. It's great to have all the spells!!!:D
