Then summon Vine Ogres . They are very excellent meat shields + dirt cheap . With the 5 nature gem helmet you even get +1 vine ogre per summoning , so 2 for 1 nature gem each .

Beware though that the Vine Ogres are only excellent meat shields . If you have to rely on troops alone then lamias summoned by lamia queens ( they get a few extra ) are indeed probably your best summon at the moment .
