[The Deadliest Warrior]

The Arrow Gruts are especially effective against an army of elementals. Spread them out over minor elevation changes to enjoy height advantage and those arrows will devastate most of the elementals (it did take a non-Grut figure to deal with the Earth and Ice elementals). They enjoy their ranged attack on the specialized elementals rather well, and even if a Grut falls in the fight, the loss of one archer won't be so damaging to you as the loss of one elemental will be to your opponent, even if they have Kurrok. I've found him to be less useful towards the mid- to late-game, as summoning fallen elementals wastes a turn you could spend attacking, andmore often than not his attempts are unsuccessful. The Arrow Gruts are a cheap and easy way to deal with expensive specialized units in general, come to think of it...
