I was looking for ways to beat up an all solonavi army. I've been looking through the units section but I haven't found much to help me so far.

Are there any relics that can give the solonavi a run for their money?

Thanks for any help!

If your a big drac lover, there is this relic that grants immunity from range attack by solonavi figs.

Star Shield - :sword: and drac faction req.

it's pricey at 70+ pts, but it grants dodge and parry and a +2 to defense.

Just give up now and accept our superiority. I also recommend you use Caeronn Luckblade. It will make our destruction of you that much easier. :D

All Solonavi Army???
All figures in army belong to Solonavi...?
U mean "not yet retired Solonavi"...

Just very a few is good...>_<"
I don't see this army is powerful...sorry to say that...
But I can't really imagine ....how tough they will be...

If U can point some example army list...
May be easier for me to see what they are going to be...

well star shield is the best choice .. go with that on chroma. i ran that at a tourney once and dominated. i also ran that at a tourney once and got owned ... sigh

Well, a lot of the Solonavi armies around here have several solonavi shades with mind tap in them. Thus, a common element in my army is threadcutter, usually on a rider. It is a cheap relic, 25 pts, and gives you +2 to attack, and lets you smack all those shades with one hit. :)

Stone of Scrying takes away stealth(hindering) and ghostform...

So you can see Solonavi for ranges atacks...plus the Stone gives a longer reach to a unit with range damage.

if you like draconums ive got one to give the solonavi a run for there money,

-Dragon

things the solonavi don't like:

arcane sight
stone of scrying
shatter shade + aeradon or maleficius
auto-damage (save for the striker or vextha)
draconum
ward of light (everybody hates that)
word of levitation (save for varatrix)

[ag] shatter Shade[ag]

Shatter Shade is a waste, imho... It's too many pages for a spell that, under optimal circumstances on expensive figures, adds 3 dmg... And only against solos. And it's what, nine pages? Besides, half the time you need to spend more points on the ability to actually take a shot against the Ranchers... There's better ways to beat 'em using DC.

In most fights I've seen, the Draconum tend to be able to beat their equivilant sized Solo peice--of course, those dracs tend to be cheezed up to a 22 d or something stupid like that.

Back to the main point... I like using Tythania Stormbringer w/Tome of Hope to beat 'em up. 13 attack, 14 speed, 14 Range, 5 dmg peirce, and Invuln... She can throw Arcane sight on herself first turn, then start causing pain. She can use Arc Lightning to deal with MI figs... She heads into bound later in the dial, so she can cause some long ranged pain...

I have to agree, Tythania can be hard to handle sometimes with the Tome of Hope on her. Just two of things I like to do though...

Trix with either Pain or Souldrinker on him. cant go wrong with a 360 degree arc on him, and though he tends to get autodamaged kind of badly in my experience, Souldrinker gives him a little more time

Solonavi are traditionally fragile. That being said, auto-damage and relics like Inferno help alot. Also try trample to soften em up a bit if you need to.

They also usually have colorful dials. Serpentfang and Agony help alot. I loved one tourney where my Drakor set up an Agony shot on Vextha (he was pushed). It was murder after that.

A friend plays all Solonavi, and when I play him I play domains that eliminate ranged attack. My Orcs just eat him up then....

a cheap spirit armor weilder could put a big hole in your opponent's army.
if they are ALL solonavi, shatter shade is a good choice, as is arcane sight. inferno is also an effective relic and the solos generally won't enjoy dealing with it.

how big of armies do you usually play, and what army do you generally face?
