From Showcase "Street continues, saying, "Hel has two myth improvements, and both benefit myth units. Rampage lowers myth unit [training time] by an incredible 95 percent. That's right--Loki can train giants in one second, provided he has the favor. Granite blood is a combat boost to giants, providing 100 hit points to each type."
wow, that seems an awful lot, doesnt it?

Thats training time! Average giant cost = 25 favor. So in 5 seconds you can't get more than 4 giants anyway - there is a 100 favor max.
the myth tech rampage doesn't mean much, because it doesn't let you get favor faster, just spend it faster when you have it. (in Deathmatch, or perhaps even lightning mode it does mean something though) the other tech helps make weaker mu's a bit stronger, but the big giants have so many hitpoints to begin with, that 100 more, while helpful, it doesn't really make his myth units last much longer

I like it the thought of pumping out a fire giant in a second

if anything, the best thing aboot(1) Loki is that the crappy heroes summon myth units (shiver) just when you think you have the guy beat another mountain Giant comes your way

Im not sure but I dont think one Einherjar (which you usually get out of the bonus) will turn the tide of a battle.

You can sometimes get better things than Einherjar. I had an enemy get all the giants against me, and some Fenris wolves... pretty scary.
The 1 second thing is great for massing (especially when you fight and favor comes fast) and for getting new units onto the battlefield faster. Don't underestimate it.
Darkest_Knight- yes it wont really matter b/c u can only make 4 giants but, think about something cheap like einherjars, valkies, or battle boars. Say you just had a major battle with the enemy you have lots of favor and resources so you pump out some battle boars, Einherjars for the biuldings and a maybe a fire giant or somtin the enemy is already devastated by the major battle then your Boars charge in take out the remaining army and the einherjars take out some buildings. Or as someone said it can be devastating in DM.

loki rulez in DM. His fire giant rush is so damn powerful. i also use like tons of other units along with the Fire giants but those giants R very very strong. And u can pump so many of them since u will be attakcing getting crazy favour and also pumping out Fire giants at the same time.
the only bad thing about the speedy build time is that you have to wait for the annoying houses to build giants(at least mountain giants.) need 5 supply
if anything i have said is wrong, please correct me.
