Ok, I just got TFT, and ive decided to play NE.

Last night I started playing with them, but did super bad...(1-8).

All I played was other NE and UD, both which in every game had 5+ towers...

So heres a few questions:

Whats the best NE unit to kill each other unit?
Archers
Hunts
Ghouls
Fiends
Grunts
Knights
Towers(besides the catapult)

Ok, and mostly ive been hunt rushing them, are hunt rushes even good?

And then, heres my build order, I think, it goes something like this...
3 wisps to the mine.
Mkae alter
Make well
Make 7 wisps, putting the rally point on the mine.
Once well/alter is done put the wisps on trees
Get Warden hero
Put 3 of the 5 other wisps on trees when there made.
Scout with the other 2 wisps, 1 going each direction
Make war tree
Make the upgrade building(forgot names)
Set the rally on my hero
Upgrade melee attacks and defense
Once I get 2-3 hunts I attack them
Then I get more hunts, having them come to my hero as made

Is that ok? Anything I should be doing different?

Wrong section, can someone move this? t.t

Archers < Hunts before Archers get Range and lvl 1 weapons and a large army.
Hunts < Archers (look above + get meat)
Ghouls < Hunts without fiend support
Fiends < most melee, but that is a double edged sword there
Grunts < Hunts (NOT archers) I know this cause orc is my speciality
Knights < Dryads, chims, any unit that attacks one with faerie fire.
Towers < Glaive Throwers or any magic attacking unit.

for most of the units ur trying to counter, if they are ground, use the MG's taunt and then slaughter them with hunts + archers from behind the MG

MG will eventually die and Hunts can still be focused fired if the player has placed his fiends in a different control group. I could have easily beat that strategy with Necros and Destroyers added to that mix. I cripple your Moutain Giants, and kill your sentinel units. If there are still MG left, I sleep em for awhile. You better hope you have Resistant Skin in that case.

cripple is not a big deal on mgs, they are for beefing, not for damaging...
and hunts > grunts , just need to be well microed. but hunts < gruntapults :(
and archers + some meat > huntresses. Hunts will never beat archers if they can't really get in melle range with them.

Even if he were to try to escape by teleport. The channel can still be broken via Ensare or a stun spell. Only TP makes person invincible.

Its instant, but the charge up takes time before spell works. How do you think I stop Archmages from escaping via Mass Teleport. However, whoever you target with teleport spells better not be on a person who is casting sfall or tranq or earthquake or death and decay. Cause then the channel is broken.

I swap the AoW and Hunter's Hall. I usually want 1-2 archers when I go for my first harass.

uh... 1-2 archers over quick hunt? hmm

and hunts rape archers, no they massacore archers, bouncing attacks + fast movement = gg archers,

archers = 500 range without upgrade, average movment
hunts = 250 or 350, faster movement then any heros in NE,

gg archers, mass hunts > mass archers even with those meats, and what meats? 1 or 2 hunts? or heros? orbears? lol, archers will never beat hunts un;less you have meats and entangle, entangle a hunt, kill it, your exp + gain, thats the only way for mass archers to beat mass hunts.
