Strategy[]
The Feis that are spawned from Fei Beasts are competent fighters that can spread disease to nearby enemies, rapidly wearing down their hit points. However, their hit points decay over time, and they will eventually succumb to their own affliction, though their hit points can be temporarily sustained through healing. Coupled with having low hit points to begin with, along with a limited life span, this makes Feis ill-advised to use as a primary fighting force. Rather, much like the Minions and Lost Ships summoned by Nephthys' god power Ancestors, Feis should be used to support the player's own troops during an attack, or to defend against a surprise attack. Unlike the latter god power, though, Fei Beasts cannot be used on water unless it is shallow enough that both naval and land units can travel through it, such as in the Kerlaugar and Black Sea random maps.
As Feis are myth units, they benefit from Shennong's regeneration bonus when on Favored Land, as well as his Peach of Immortality technology. Both Nüwa and Shennong players can pick Zhurong for the Mythic Age to allow Feis to deal additional damage to nearby enemy units via the Flaming Blood technology. Furthermore, Fei Beasts and Blazing Prairie can be used together to quickly wipe out an enemy army.
