This is a horrible - it makes no difference 4-6 boxers that spam enough AoE to kill all the summons every turn, but is unbelievably hard for small parties or solo players. Especially since paladins are already extremely powerful for the rewards they offer.
I agree. They do hit really hard, and make places like Barracks really tough to solo unless specific class or overleveled, which defeats the purpose of wanting to go there for the most part.
You shouldnt be spamming AoE to kill summons, you should be using Banishment.
Yes, Ruffryder, that is the point though. For a solo player, they have to use banishment. A whole turn, and a moderately slow spell, during which time, if they summon paladins or knights or are a monster that spams CC, you could very likely die. For a group of players, the summons make no difference because they can just continue to spam aoe and the summons will die, they make no difference. Regardless, even if banish was the only way to kill them, it makes no difference for a large group, but is incredibly hard for solo or small groups.
I don't think you can banish the paladins. At least I wasn't able to.
You can banish the summoned paladins, but since they can be summoned, in many cases, along monsters that fast cast CC you, its very possible you got CC'd before you were able.
I was not CC'd. I know that for sure.
