surely it would be better spent put into summons and other rituals?

You only need the one banner; the effect is battlefield wide.

Actually... does anyone know the exact mechanics for the spell Blink? Does it teleport you completely randomly? Or is there actually a pattern. If there is a pattern, it might be possible to exploit it with a single casting of Blink. For example, if it wouldnt blink you within a range of AoE 10 of your starting position, then putting a lbinker in the back of your field drives up the probability that it will appear in the rear of the enemy field.

In my experience that only means him always running around to get to the enemy troops and racking up more fatigue while doing so. If it's a SC, it doesn't need to blink, it needs to hit stuff.

Alternatively, have the communion master cast Power of the Spheres. Best use of one pearl.

Unless it is an SC that is relying on a battlefield enchantment, like he said. In which case surviving is the name of the game.

I always get Evo1 pretty early, so I've never had a problem with Blinking slaves. They seem perfectly happy to spam Starfires.

Fatigue is one of the enemies of SCs, so running around and attacking which I think gives more fatigue than just attacking is not that much of a help.

I think it's the other way around. You don't normally gain fatigue from just running around (there are exceptions eg. if you are berserk).

If you use a BE that takes a turn to cast so you're only casting blink 4 times max anyway. Not exactly very useful.

The suggestion was combining BE with Sandals of the Crane. Not the spell Blink.
