Heka Gigantes as I mentioned can use their special on human soldiers, heroes and myth unit infantry btw.
It could make a difference in a battle, assuming this is in AoT which makes it the easiest.
It means that you could for instance have a heka gigantes. And because the Mummy is MythUnitInfantry, that could use it's special, knocking back the mummy, maybe saving the life of your 300 gold myth unit.
That's how it could affect a game... even though you'd probably have if the guy microed it, your Heka killed anyway from afar, and other human units fighting would make it hard to get it into the back where the mummy would probably be before it get's killed, it still could affect it.

It really depends on the myth unit. Some have the power of projectiles, some do not.

I said this before, but with the exception of certain specials, most units can be soft-counters to myth units in the triangle of myth units, but nothing is a hard counter to them so anti-infantry and such are bad against it, because there is no multiplier.
So which would you rather have against an Einherjar, Archers or Cavalry? Archers, they're slow strong melee, their special actually prohibits them as it doesn't do much damage and gives the archers time to run away.
Centaur is just decent against cavalry because the special is very acurate, and because it has speed, it's a very good all-around mu, which is true.
Valkyries are fast but not nearly as strong as some other myth unit infantry, so in hand-to-hand combat they'd probably lose. But they are less vulnerable to archer fire by their speed.

All counter archers I.E peltast,slingers and turma get a bonus vs TA.Now this doesn't make TA an archer infantry,it was made so for balance reasons.I suggest you check xentelian spreadsheet or install tooltips to thoroughly check all unit info.

Most counter archers get a bonus versus archers and taxmen, as they are the equivalent of a norse archer. And thymole, go check, Hekas can only use thier special on Humans, Heroes, Myth Infantry, Mummies are also myth infantry btw.
