No offense but it is my honest opinion. Also, hydras specials are pretty good.

No offence taken.  Yes, Hydras are great tank creatures.
They do stay longer on the battlefield than Djinns, that's for sure.

And you always have to look at the abilities as well. 
Well, I disagree. I think Inquisitors are great supportive units, much better so than the Djinn. Yes, the Djinns do have a good offensive edge, but that's more like a one-off, because they'll likely be ripped.

You think hydra is the worst? Compare its stats to a djinns.
Yes I think so. Hydras specials are great, but there is on problem. How often they can use them without TA? Well djins doesnt live longer than 1-2 rounds BUT they have chance to cast nasty spells. It´s very frustating letting cast blindess or confusion in your shooters doesn´t it? Lets see you are creeping with 50 master hunters only. You see see pack of djins there and you think: "ok they are weak I can take them" and go to fight. Before battle splitt your hunters in 2 stacks. Fight begins and Djins 18 djins are in 8 stacks. One casts random blindess on your hunters and another stacks cast confusion in your others stack of hunters. Then rest djins just advance towards your troops. Fight or retreat?
That happened to me once. Well ok when that happened I havent played very much with sylvan but still.
Hydras may have good specials and hp but no else. Ye ye we can discuss how good they are for warlocks and so on. But you can get items on djins also. Some rings and mini-arties and u can boost they hp by 30% and with magic resistance artifacts +mini arties they magic resistance and go REALLY high.

A couple of flaws in your argumentation here. Djinns only cast Dark Magic level 1-3 spells, so they will not cast Blind. And there is not room for more than 5 large creatures on the battlefield, so they won't split into 8 stacks.
But sure, spellcasting can be annoying, but personally I find the random casting to be too ... random ... to be dependable for winning.

I think so beacuse the fight is over when they reach the enemy But they can be hard to kill. I like the djinns, but the problem is that the enemy always focus their attack on them just like they do on the blood furys.

Ok, basic gremlins are weak, but their upgrades are quite powerful, and have useful lategame abilities.
Quote:
tier2:centaur(dies after 1-2 shots)
Centaurs may be one of the strongest lvl2s. Don't get fooled by basic stats, blood rage and good attack/damage makes them very-very useful. However, you were right, they can die quickly so you'd better manage them carefully.
Quote:
tier4:vampire or mage(Main targets often)
Vampires and mages?  Vamps are superb creeping machines not to mention archmages with their awesome spell arsenal! And they're main targets 'cause they're POWERFUL. And the enemy kills them first, BECAUSE they're threats they have to deal with quickly.
Quote:
tier5:unicorn(i almost never have unis at endgame battle.)
Why don't you?
Quote:
tier7:titan(I have none at endgame battles)
While titans may not be as heavy-hitters like crystal drags and cyclopes, they're nice. Shooting ability and mind-immunity boosts their usefulness, and wizards can buff them with mini-arties, which makes them a good lvl7 unit. Spectrals are far weaker for instance.

i just am saying that these creature stacks in my army are almost always obliterated by shooters or enemy scouts. 8 bunches of several mages can do heavy dmg.

lvl-1:Goblin-these creatures are very weak and also annoying (we know why)
2:Horned Demon:weaker than Inferno's, Dungeon's, Sylvan's and Fortress's lvl 1
3:Iron Golem:just too slow and also it doesn't have any morale witch makes this even worse
4:Brawler:not sure of it.It's hard to say
5: Priest:the weakest by far-except for HP it has the weakest stats for a lvl 5 and also no attacking spells.
6:Shadow Witch:not sure of this one thought
7:Bone Dragon:no doubt
That's how it goes for me.

Level 1: Conscript (Brute gives cash which saves him. Goblin Witchdoctor is actually quite useful. Spellbreaking has proven invaluable to me)
Level 2: Horned Overseer (Horned Leaper at least does something other than blow up. Rot and Plague Zombies are actually a bit more useful imo)
Level 3: A relatively weak level. I actually find Taskmasters to be ok, but guards are pretty bad. Still, the worst level 3 is Poltergeist. VERY weak and incorporal is easy to get around if you put any bit of thought into it.
Level 4: Berserker (Battle Rager has low damage but it's more solid and slides in well to the Fortress battle formation imo. Grim and Brisk Raiders are meh but edge out these two in usefulness)
Level 5: Djinn Sultan (Vizier has slightly better special. Sultan dies like a level 4 ranged unit to be honest. Level 5 is a solid level in H5 and you can't afford to have such a weak link at this level.
Level 6: Pit Lord (Spawn can mess up some lower level stacks. The Lord really has only a two shot spell as the resaon to use it and that just isn't enough to warrant it being called useful.
Level 7: Spectral Dragon (equally dismal to it's counterpart imo. This and mediocre level 2, 3, 5, and 6 units make Necro sad. Their ability makes up for it though  Doesn't help their Spectral Dragon though. Sucks no matter how you look at it.
