I heard of microing with an Archidon, but not with a melee character...

So, how do you do it?

Meh not a lot. :P

If it's about to die, garrison it and make sure to keep an eye on it so you can take it back out.

Yeah, not much.

Place them behind your speartons, who will tank damage from the enemy.
Use rage at optimal times to inflict a bunch of damage.
Use them as cannon fodder for giants/castle archers in late game.
Keep them away from castle archers in early game. That splash damage is evil.

Micro for Swordwrath and other melee units(my opinion)
Get the low health melee unit behind the others to prevent being killed.
Garrison while very low in health.
Always keep in mind to spacebar and select a unit to attack.
Estimate how much damage will they give and how much health enough to let them back to garrison while you are attacking their miners.

Very true. Archidons are hawk-eye that can't miss. And Archidon is Fr0st's favourite.

how odd, archidons and swordwrath are my newest strategy.

i finally made a strategy (I DID NOT CHEAT BY LOOKING UP THINGS FROM YOUTUBE OR LOOK AT PEOPLES POSTS) that does not include a single giant (excluding ghost giant).

also ive noticed something with archidon, it sometimes misses the albowtross and i end up losing 5 archidons when i really should of only lost 1, so i guess this is either a glitch or the archidon is nowhere near hawk-eye

i destroyed a couple people using the archidon and swordwrath tactic but it seems to fail against magikill masters and shadowrath masters
