is panda better than TC stomp?
and I actually prefer using SH for hex on DK so actually dies instead of spamming potion of invulnerability O.o
DK down = no healz and no tank

Not stronger at all.
TC on level 3 is a major fightbreaker and when he turns 5, fiends get virtually useless, because they are disabled 80% of the time. TC is the only reason orc is able to go wyvern against the direct counter fiends and the main reason why orc ground has such a huge edge over ud ground.
Going panda would be a complete waste and extremely dumb vs UD. Haze can be dispelled, Fire doesnt do much vs high hp units + healing scroll + coil + statue heal.
If you go TC or SH is playstyle dependant
VS Elf, TC vs Talons (Wave), SH vs Bears
VS Human, TC vs Casters, SH vs everything else. Possibly Alchimist 3rd vs mass gryphs. You can also go Bm/Sh/TC trihero on larger maps.
VS UD, TC almost all the time. SH only on small maps with an aggresive playstyle
Mirror, Always BM / SH. Healing wave together with link is just way too strong.
