By using Meve's Longsword Leader ability (+4 Power, +1 Armor) on Lyrian Scythemen (Loyal: +5 Power), you can create an early powerhouse, raising 9 Power every two turns (with the Lyrian Banner on the field). Use these in conjunction with other Loyal units like Lyrian Arbalest (Loyal: 2 damage to nearest enemy) to quickly win any early battle with no losses.
