for the records, trying (first time after patch) my suggested build with the priest and pala, and got 2 wins vs top 2-3 ram player. As i thought that build is indeed brutal even without legendaries.
for the records i won vs:
5x hardboiled skeletons + 3x gargoyles with sneak attack
and
4x archers and 3x gargoyles with sneak attack --> i guess he wanted to take out my priest next match so badly...yet he proudly survived
the build requires you to be very well positioned with your units as martyr has range 1 and ranged enemies are annoying. Just remember you can cast spiritual aggression -> bad omen -> transfer while in defensive stance. Or simply kill that archer with 2x spiritual aggresion
