While we’re waiting on our own endless spells (who knows if we’ll actually get any with our tome...) I wondered which people make space for? Specifically, I’m looking at Prismatic Palisade and wondering if we benefit uniquely from it? A Slann in a corner behind his own Palisade is safe from spells, charges and shooting, but unlike other casters *can still cast through a vassal*. Yes it can be dispelled, but until it is, his balewind can’t be targeted. The others I’m questioning the use of are quicksilver swords or the shackles. Are there other particularly synergistic options? Worth the points?
I don't use the palisade much but I probably should try it again. As for the Quicksilver Swords: I have used them a few times but they haven't done much for me. Shackles have been a match winner for me though, at least three times or so. Well worth their points. Edit: huh, this post was messed up. Corrected.
Lifeswarm can work well in combination with guard as it negates the effects of mortal wound spam (to an extend..) And there's of course the various spells that can feed our summoning. Aside from that, no not really.
Shackles and Quicksilver are both too expensive now IMO. there's something to be said for the pendulums and purple suns of the world. being able to touch the army first turn with those is pretty good.
