I'm always curious about life battles.
Dunno if after bronze they change, but i have a hard time using them correctly and i'm beat easily when they use the shieldbearer + shid repair+heal.
IF i can do damage enough to take the tank i't goes smooth after, that's it?
I think the monster "Placer Arbalest" is also very important, because it can attack twice per round, so you should find ways to kill or defend against its attacks

Usually i use him in the rear, it's risky for the sneak but in last resort we wont get useless in the front lines
