Best MA sacred unit

[Shovah32]

Sorry for not just using edit but i feel this deserves a new post: I just tested 45 of xietors heart companions(F9N4 blessed) against 15 F9W9 Vans(they have worse scales but lower resource cost so i based it purely on gold cost) and the result?
45 Heart companions dead alongside 1 dead van, a complete massacre. The battle was in a province with no scales(no dominion had spread), all units were blessed, it was farmland, arco had the defenders advantage, no units had afflictions.

Sure you could make various arguements such as astrologers would have paralyzed the vans and elephants would trample them but then there are easy counter arguements such as vanadrotts would thunderstrike heart companions, dwarven smiths would destroy their armour and skinshifters and einheres would have killed elephants(high damage attack=dead elephants) ect.

In a pure test of vans vrs heart companions the vans did win, and by a rather large margin.

edit: no vans had afflictions after the fight. The vans also have glamour, stealth and higher movement and so could have avoided the heart companions rather easily.
