Mass amount of first stack attack

[PigBBong]

Hi, I'm a white mage. Most of the time I manage to block the counter except counter from green. However there is one thing that I found it hard to block, mass amount of first stack from counter. I use Archangel as the first stack for soaker. However my whole stack had been wipe out by sprite, which had an attack initiative of 5. I lost that defend. After that I lost my another stack from another counter. I think this time is mass wraith. Of course my second stack is not soaker now. (since I lost my whole stack of archange) Anyone have any idea of handling this kind of attack? It seem very hard to kill them more than they kill you and your most powerful stack had been wipe out, you are losing a lot of power than your attacker already. Mass amount of first stack as defend?

r u using items/spell?

u should use platinum hand of healing, n item could be ash of invisibility.

Use Love n peace... ur units get extra hp n u get extra gold ^^

I use blinding flash + whatever I item I got. I worry paralyze did not get the enemy first stack. It is use to paralyze 1 random enemy stack, right?

Compare bliding flash to platinum hand of healing, which one is more effective? Maybe this is the strategy of player grabing land and climb. They use their first stack with high attack initiative and mass amount, then follow by 2 - 3 stack of cheap unit like zombie, skeleton to grab land. I think I might give mass sprite a try, not sure how well they absord damage. Have you guys use it before?

Anyone know how to deal with mass sprite?? Don't underestimate this baby with attack initiative of 5, it can wipe out your whole stack or deal big damage to your first stack, thus mess up your stacking. Also if it wipe out your first stack, you have to hit your attacker really hard to win the battle. I found quite some player in Mega using this unit with big amount, same as black mage using mass wraith.

Paralize nearly always take off the sprites , but a combination of slow/Feet of hermes , and ash/spider web may give you the edge in all your hits.

Also , you should have a big deal of ranged attack units in ur back ranks.

Just some observations

well here is an idea
your top AA's should not have more than 45% power
always have 3 or more stacks
use Plat and some healing items, resurrects A LOT of units
and DUH have full bars so that enemy spells don;t go through
sometimes if u kill enough enemy units it won't matter how much u loose

use web
use deep stacking like 6th to 10th will be ranged.

sprites always atak first, it can do alot of dmg, i think 3 stacks, posibly aa first with hand be enough, anyway in same power range...
if sprites counter you, luke

[Gomorrah]

web slows down the sprites 

[Necrófago]

to what??
ini equals 4?? still they almost always atak first... and thats all they need..

[Gomorrah]

web of spider+web of spider woman/slow = 3 initiative?
with catapults 4 ini and/or sprites below your stack they will hit first.
