Because 100 Pixies has a much higher | Because 100 Pixies has a much higher army value than 4 wights, the pixies will split up into 7 stacks with 14 pixies in each stack when the battle starts. On hard difficulty and above, all pixies will wait on their first turn. This opens up the opportunity to use Death Ripple before the Wights die. On the first turn, Septienna uses Death Ripple and uses the Defend command on the wights. In each stack, 5 pixies die from the death ripple (65 pixies remain). The pixies fly across the battlefield on the following round and attacks the wights, but since they are on the edge of the battlefield, only 3 pixies can attack the wights. 1 or 2 wights die, but now it is Septiennas turn. She uses Death Ripple again, killing 35 more pixies. At this point there are only 4 pixies left in each stack, and the wights can finish them off alone because of their ability to regenerate health every turn. | ||

In this case the same strategy as above is used. This time Septienna will lose the battle, but will have time to retreat. As a result of this fight, the Marksman count is now reduced by 28, which makes it much easier for the main hero to clear out the Marksmen stack and take whatever they were guarding. | In this case the same strategy as above is used.
