4x1 deepwood archers with kari and hawthorn.

I find 4*1 to be are the most lackluster, as they rarely get to do the 4 thing before getting sniped. 3*2 cav on the other hand, opppsed to 2*3.

I've wondered the same just how much reward / risk there is for not taking a hero and as a result having yet another unit on the field or something larger or more upgrades.

For Daqan, after the crossbowmen are out I think the decision will be even harder as that's the point where you'll have another unit type that effectively won't fit in the points budget unless you drop something else...

And given that Kari provides the current Daqan (small) ranged support, Crossbowmen may prove to be a better investment, as dedicated in that role.
