Use for Kithaironic Lion and Amphiptere ?

[Ragnarok-X]

Under CBM, why are these commanders and how can they be used for effect ?

Early to mid game thugs usable with buffing assistance. Can wear 2 misc items. I was discussing in another thread how an Amphiptere might be a useful carrier for a Soul Contract and/or Life Long Protection scroll as these are rather expensive and an Amphiptere has both the movement and resilience to effectively deploy and protect these.

I haven't made extensive use of either.

I actually made an Amphiptere my prophet in a test game in which I had a E9N6 bless. I gave him a lucky amulet and a stone-bird, scripted him with Holy Avenger, Attack rear. That actually gave so ridiclously good results I did prophetise an Amphiptere in an on-going MP game (with a different bless though), but I've not yet seen him in action.

In the Magellan (I was playing Pangaea) game I used three Kithaironic lions each with a ring of regen and lucky amulet against Oceania (on land, that is). I had a W2 Unfrozen mage along who did cast Winter Ward, Quickning, spells, and the lions were scripted with Hold, Attack Monsters. Worked very well until Armageddons killed off the Unfrozen mage. I also used Kithaironic lions against Mictlan in that game, but I don't have any memory wether they were good or bad (definitively nothing spectacular, as I don't remember anything special).
