It seems everyone has underestimated a single unit that wields immense power. I will tell you what this unit is, and how to use it.
I've been noticing many people who spam Giants and have Merics to back them up. I usually build an army of Speartons and rush pass the Giants and get to the statue while the Giants slowly stumble back, but some use Resilience. So how do you defeat this strategy? Do the same thing, and build Giants? No!
I have found the solution. In fact, I believe I have built the most time-conserving and effective army.
6 Spearton in shield wall
2 Merics
1 Giant Fully Grown
4 Albowtross with Flaming Bolts
And... your solution to the Giants
2 MAJIKILL
It seems everyone has disliked Majikill from the beginning. 1st, they're slow. 2nd, you actually have to BUY other effects. 3rd, they're costly on Mana.
But if you want to defeat the giants, Majikill are the answer.
I'll tell you how to properly utilize this army. Rush to the center as soon as you can usually with Spearton. This is CRUCIAL. Buy Tower Spawn and place the Spearton in shield wall. Also research Shield Bash for later on. Research all the Majikill abilities and buy a Majikill. Send him behind your Spearton shield wall. If you see any enemy units, use Shield Bash to stun the enemy and use Electric Wall to kill them. Okay, now buy 2 Albowtross and 1 single Meric. Make sure the Meric is on Hold Command. Get Blazing Bolts for the CrossBowers. Grow the Giant and send him to the middle once you have this army. Now buy 2 more Albowtross, 1 more Meric, and another Majikill. This will take time but the results are worth it. After this, buy Tower Spawn 2. SEND 4 of your miners to the enemy side to get them killed, as this lowers your population. Buy a few Spearton and keep them at your base for backup. Make sure your units stay BEHIND the shield wall.
After this, SLOWLY advance with your Spearton in front on Shield Wall, or LURE your opponent's army so you can defeat them.
Majikill are useless if you can't use them properly. Put them on Hold Command behind your Speartons, and use Electric Wall for the front line of enemy units. Poison the Giants if there are any. Alternate between wizards so you can do these constantly. Once your enemy is mostly wiped out, send your Majikill to the center and have your Spearton kill the Miners. Then retreat back to the center. After you're fully healed, attack the statue. It goes MUCH faster with Majikill.
Remember, there are 2 elements to Victory.
1. Early Attack
To do this build Miners early to get a strong economy
2. Strong Army
The units I just described are CRUCIAL. REPLACE THEM AS SOON AS THEY DIE.
Hope this works it worked amazingly for me.

I don't usually use Magikill(the enemy will sneak to my Magikill and kill him first) but Magikill is a great supporter for the whole army(I use 2 Giants, 4 Merics and 1 magikill to kill 5 Giants! I surprised the enemy!)

That's why you use Speartons in a Shield Wall. Use Shield Bash to momentarily stun the enemy and then use the Magikill to kill them.

Lol, Magikill is the official name for Magikill(of course) Don't you saw that the reaction of them is SOOOO slow that when they bash their shield the enemy had run past them(lol).

I love the reasoning. Unfortunately this won't work in practice against a good opponent. Shield wall and bash unfortunately does not stop enemies from rushing and killing your magikill. You may stun them once, but then you have a long cool down before you can do it again.
Alternatively, they just stay out of range of electric wall and kill everything else (the other spells kinda suck against armored units).

I would just destroy this with my own strategy focused around Giants/Merics. The Merics would just heal the poison easily and the Giants would kill each Magikill in 1-2 shots. You'll get 1 shot off per magikill before it dies.

You're not getting my point. I want the Magikill to stay out of reach from EVERYTHING. This has worked against opponents with 1900 ratings and more. I forgot to mention, after Shield Bash is used put your Speartons on attack mode. Giants are difficult to control and they will attack the Speartons no matter what. Try to keep your Majikill out of range.
Quote from 3FFAI would just destroy this with my own strategy focused around Giants/Merics. I usually get around 10 Giants and 15 Merics so any attacks thrown at me will be wiped away easily. The Merics would just heal the poison easily and the Giants would kill each Magikill in 1-2 shots. You'll get 1 shot off per magikill before it dies.
Do I have to say it again? The Giants are difficult to control and will attack the armoured Speartons. The Magikill should stay back and get healed often. I can manuever several controls to defeat this strategy.

I'm sorry I didn't quite understand that. Did you just say my strategy was useless? Typing sarcasm is a bit difficult, I know.

The above is what I said, don't edit my words to help you spread completely false information.
Giants are rather easy to control where as magikill are quite hard to control, especially when you are trying to micro your units in attacks while making more units back home. Also, Magikill's shorter range makes it hard to keep them safe. And if I sneak some archers in my mix of giants and merics, I can use archers to help snipe the Magikill. Also, Bladed Fire was pointing out that you spelt Magikill with a 'j' in the OP.

Lol, I can't believe he edited your words. Any respect has now just disappeared...
Dec 29, 2012 2:30 AM #832935
Just win a match with 3 Giants , 1 magikill and 6 speartons to a 4 speartons, 2 giants opponent(note: he's favored) and castle archers. I didn't know that some of the favored suck.
Dec 29, 2012 3:11 AM #832974
Yeah some of them do. One favored I faced wasn't even there. Another rushed me with purely Miners...

I rushed miners, swordwraths to the enemy's base to increase space.
