Nah, rats are worse. I rarely play Raelin (I loath putting OMs on someone who's not going to attack), but when facing her I generally don't mind the strategic dilemma of whether to attack the threat or the cheerleader.

One of the only times I played Raelin (besides with Brunak) was with Syvarris and 3xObsidian Guards, making a wall of Obsidian Guards in my start zone, all within Raelin's aura. Then Syvarris sniped from behind the screen. All the other players (it was 4 player free for all) ganged up on me because the strategy was perceived as too good.

Great point! Becomes more of a puzzle to solve (for me anyway) as opposed to just getting frustrated with a unit that rolls a bajillion attack dice and has defenses that are difficult to crack.

They're definitely more annoying.

We in the Gang rarely field her or the other A+ units. They are annoying and hog all the focus in a game.
