After all this time? You still didn't realize?

And, a ninja can kill medusa/marrow with Shinobi 2 and a quick strike afterwords. But it's almost certain that the ninja will die. But for now, lets compare the prices.

Shadowrath : 450g 200 m.
Medusa : 500g 400m
Marrow : 400g 400m

There. Look how a puny ninja can pwn a unit that is higher tier than them? Also, only both of these or our only option to kill mages which are hiding behind a wall. Behind the wall, they're almost untouchable.

Order have meric. When meric is spammed, units heal quickly. But chaos? They only have a puny regen. It may be good early, but it's useless late game. How is it supposed to heal a severely injured giant? Order can have as many as meric as they want, so that the units heal MUCH faster.

Poison Spray. It's so much more effective than Venom Flux. While Venom Flux stays for 20 secs, and Poison Spray is only one use and can be used again, it's useless. Why? Because of its range. Medusa will have to go upfront to poison tank units. Not really worth it. And it's dodgeable too. And Order have Merics for insta-cure. Chaos passive cure kicks in slower. It can almost kill wingidons.

Quote from _Ai_

A medusa is the only thing for chaos that can insta kill. Order has Ninja, which has more health but just slightly weaker than medusa. How so? Medusa can insta-kill anyunit except giant, while ninja can only insta-kill low tier unit and mages. But the thing is, ninja is more worth it. Why? Because of :

Ninja is faster than Medusa, and can retreat after killing his target. Medusa is ranged, but the range is quite the same of that of a blast.
Ninja has less pop, mana and gold cost, train time and most importantly recharge for ability.
Venom Flux stays there, but the poison is pitiful. With a couple of merics, even archers can go through, and 6 of them can still be alive, because of poison do less damage, and Meric's Cure.

I just wanted to pop in to interject that although merics rule, a bunch of bombers will kill them all since they tend to clump together as they walk.

Someone should test how many bombers it takes to finish a crowd of merics and magikill.

Quote from stickman311

Also, u didin't realise that medusa can pwn a magikill easily, and a meric dies very easily too cuz of its slow speed. Venom flux will stay there, and will poison the units that go past. So, all that chaos has to do is to just retreat until they pass through the pool. And if order masses merics, chaos can mass medusas either way. Medusas can just petrify then escape. No big deal. Chaos might have large economy while order might have low econ cuz chaos will keep pressuring

Quote from malbence

So take 9 bombers and bam, you've just destroyed a meric spam.

Hopefully the poor Order guy is fast enough to cast electric wall.

Quote from IHATETHISNAME

If you have 9 bombers (I'm going to assume that's what you're talking about.) You've wasted the 700 gold it takes to make them and your time. I've never seen that done competitively, I doubt anyone would need to worry about that happening. Sorry if I made you feel insulted, but honestly, nobody masses medusas and wins. If you've let someone mass medusas, that's on you.

I'm saying that, what are u gonna use your spears to defend? The meric or the archers? If u split, then one of them will be weak and i would destroy them. If u use sheild wall, i would charge your archers
