-Can't be possessed
-Gets the same upgrade as archers//huntresses so u can upgrade early and get a bonus to ure archers
-get bonus from PotM
-Minus: can't be healed by your units
The extra damage to Aboms is correct. Still, it doesn't really affect them that much. It's the next point that really is correct.
Possession... well, Possession was made for the Bears anyway.
No, they don't. Hunts/Archers follow the of the Moon upgrades. Dryads follow the of the Wild upgrades.
Yeah, they do, but few NE units don't.
In any case, they don't. Dryads may do well against Ghouls and Aboms, but they fail miserably to Crack Ghouls. Crack Ghouls with level 2 Unholy Aura hit the speed cap, and are still fast even when hit by Slow Poison. In addition, the damage they deal to Dryads is very high, and Ghouls can eliminate Dryads one by one very rapidly.
This might be incorrect in light of the new 1.06 patch. Supposedly, Dryads are supposed to be much more powerful against melee now. However, there's a new UD counter for them now: FIENDS!
...No, I'm serious. Stop laughing!
