Everything written there assumes that the ninjallbow users are at 10 times Wyzdom's level of micro, they have more troops compared to the giant masser, and that their troops are more powerful than they should be.


When did I assume that? Like I said, I'm fairly sure a shinobi running battle would be a much more effective way of fighting, but even if it comes to an engagement, they *could* just snipe all the merics and magikills first leaving the giants. I don't know what would win then, but shinobi fixate could do some magic.

The elegance of the ninjalbow build is how well everything covers each other. However, it's a strategy built on constant pressure and hit and runs. The hit and runs are where ninjalbow emerges victorious, and is exactly how it's supposed to be used. Ninjas go in, do massive damage, with the albowtross at their backs, covering them as they retreat. Repeat over and over again until enemy army is dead. In this sense, you shouldn't have to deal with a large army, the idea is to thin out the army before it can completely form.

albows don't need a meat shield since they fly


WHAAAAATTTTTT?!?!?!?!?!

Albows are glass cannons without a giant to block for them. They have TWO bars of health, and they're armoured. A straight-up albow mass would out number you in terms of albows and render your ninjas useless. Since albows are armoured, blazing bolts RIPS through them. A full albow mass with 2 giants to tank (probably gonna lose one to ninjas) will probably demolish your albows, leaving your ninjas sitting there like "well, do we throw each other now?"

Albows are the biggest glass cannons in all of Stick Empires except for maybe the spell-casters, but I'm not counting those since mages need some skill to deal excessive damage, unlike albows.

Also, I cut it out, but yea, 2 fully grown giants and the rest as albows, I'm fairly confident that will beat a shadow + albow army.
