In theory, you don’t need your 4th troop to do anything, just sit there. Thrall/Marilith → Zuul’Goth → Thrall/Marilith → Zuul’Goth etc. for the Green/Purple colors The only thing that interrupts that is excessive unexpected skull hits, for any reason. With delves now giving enchant all and explode 2 gems per ally at the start of battle from, hoards, mana block isn’t as major of an issue provided you can keep Thrall/Marilith unblocked. Even Essence of Evil isn’t that important. Huanglong/Marilith, Glaycion/Marilith, Krystenax/Thrall etc. If you want to go cheap, Eternal Sentry/Marilith is solid. Something like Eternal Sentry Marilith Rope Dart/Essence of Evil (hero class with Root trap preferred, Orbweaver with Rising Shadow is big) Zuul’Goth Banner of Sin will feel pretty good --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/delves-strategies-tactics-and-tips/45522)._
