It is indeed. Took some getting used to, but I figured it out and refined it.
A key realisation was that I have lots of unit strenght and even durability, but needed damage output (hence an organ gun and extra sharpshooters instead of things like Lords on Large Beast or Juggernauts).
I think you’ll find the same with your abyssals.
What might also be worth a try (not sure it’ll work though) is drain life. Adds damage AND durability.
Thank you for the kind words!
If you like my reports it may please you to hear that there’s another one coming to that thread in the next day or two.
