Against scouts the obvious defense is triple the warriors to arch minimum. However i still say that is useless because a well placed wave or two decimate those warr, especially if the players offline, and then your mechs/arch are easy pickings.

I think scouts are most useful when the defender is mech heavy. If used right they cause devastation. I'll gladly lose 1mil scouts to take out 100k balli any day. On top of that they're great for clearing out whatever slight leftovers have been healed or just not quite killed off yet. I.e. you fire off a couple of trade fire waves and are left with handfuls of warr and mechs, including trans.

That being said however, using only scouts would be a colossal waste of res in many situations. Easier to mech a big opponent, one with millions of sword/pike/etc, or clear sword/pike and trade fire a smaller one. So my vote goes for arch still and forever being the mega troop. Yes that's right over mechs and ponies and scouts, i'll take my arch any day.
