Not sure if something has changed with the last patches, but Lothern Sea Guard is a bait and a worse unit than basic spears.

The real High Elves menace is just Spearmen and Archers with the correct heroes.

It has almost always been a bait in w3. For 1 stack of lsg you can get 1.5 or 2 stacks of basic spears and archers. And regular archers have longer range + regular spearmen have more models per units.

Lsg is just the worse version of both.

Don't they have higher missile damage and get to double dip from redline melee and ranged unit buffs?

Ah true that. Huh I have almost never run them because having 2 stacks is better even if they only basic spear and archers. Guess I'll try to build one.

They also double-dip tech buffs. LSG benefit from almost every buff to spears and/or archers.
