NE~archers or driads

[tard07]

mass archers or mas driads both with dh which is better?

[x42bn6]

I'dnever go one or the other. Slow Poison makes the Archers' insane damage perfect. I go both, though Dryads can handle stuff better alone than Archers can.

[Emperor Pan I]

I think archers are much better, since dryads come out slower, and require much more to get them. Dryads are also unarmored making them suck against everything.

[Zaku]

Right now, i think archers might be better. With Elunes Grace, it makes them much, much better.

[x42bn6]

Youcan mass Archers as well. But you can't mass Dryads. :'-(

[Emperor Pan I]

only thi9ng dryads have over them is spell immunity, andmovement speed, but that isn't to big, so it makes archers much more useful in reality.

[ShadowStealer87]

i would say against UD dryads would be quite good but never mass them.

[snow_raven]

dryads are better for support, but as your army...

[Shadow_Ninja]

Yep, if you had to choose, take archers. In TFT they have higher HPs and can survive quite a few shockwave/carrion/impale/chain lightning, especially when you've got healscrolls.

Dryads, while being immune against anything bad, also sucks against about 70% of the time, 4 ranged units FFing and you can kiss them bye-bye. You'll only need them for abolish.

[TheShadowmeld]

Combination, Combinations!!!! thats the key, the idea...trust me.

Ok so I have 7 post, but do take my advice, I have killed many.

[Shizo]

well, i would personally go with neither of the 2 armies, but if i had to choose between the 2, i would go for dryads, for spellcasting support army.

[x42bn6]

Dryadsdon't count as Spellcasting, do they, Shizo?

And you're back again!

[CitricAcid13]

I'd go with Archers if I had to choose between the two, but about 6 Dryads + rest archers good for anticasting, slow/poison and they spell immune.

You cant mass anything unless you play with a team.But mass archers is sth very good in the beginning ,by the time you have 16-20 archers the opponent will still be able to have sth more but you will still be able to win.

[Aragorn7]

Like many have said here, archers are for the damage and dryads are for slow poison and dispel. It is best to get both. Dryads are extremely effective when paired with chims. It is very hard to beat a chim + dryad + dott + hippo army.

[PostmaNPhaT]

Beastmaster + mass archers can work wonders against orcs ^^

Archers. They are much cheaper, easier to get, 1 less food supply, have a decent armour type, Elune's Grace, etc. etc.

I hardly ever get dryads any more.. pity i used to use them all the time in RoC

[darkmoonayr]

archers

besides they are a basic unit (used for rush attacks)

dryads are great but archers costs less

[Emperor Pan I]

you cant compair costs, cause dryads are spell immune, faster, poison, and dispels. And truely, even with fairy dragons dryads are still needed in most situations with dispel, and they agre definately good against the beastmasters bears and hawks.

[Killa_Mark]

I dont know which is better cause dryads attack slow and archers attack average speed but the slow poision rocks

[Andrew]

I agree with you, but don't bump the old posts please.
