Strategy:

• If facing Wraiths without a Temple, Runestone, or Barracks (for Paladins), consider destroying your current mystical site and building one of these.
• Be cautious when destroying mystical sites near a Wraith, as an enemy might position their Wraith on the foundation, preventing construction.
• Always be aware of players with Crypts and prepare answers for Wraiths.
• Their low base statistics are a weakness, but only if you have the correct units to exploit it.
• Wraiths are a poor choice against an enemy with a Temple-based army.
• The high cost of Wraiths can force an opponent into a specific play style, which can be exploited.
