You should add that dahomey Amazon’s are fast moving and they switch their range attack to knives when a unit is closer, and throw knives faster the closer they are. Even though they have mele resist you don’t want these units in mele mode since it’s just worse than their speedy ranged knife attack.
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.

should you counter them with hand cav / melee units then? or with skirm/art

Skirm and cav work best before they’re super upgraded imo

Once they have AA and 20% church card speed cav probably can’t catch them before dying to their 1.0 ROF attacks and kiting

June pup was released 29 days ago. It means the next pup is likely to be out tomorrow. Next Tuesday at worse.

So we just wait.
