I would say the Ancient Lich, Yeti, or Sea Serpent.

The three level 4 units are Ancient Lich, Yeti, and Great Mage. Yes, they are the best.

I think it's depend against which ennemy unit it is used.
Sometime I prefere Paladin or knight, sometime level3 Troll, and as I'm not see all the game, maybe I will discover others later ;).

Iron Maulers are good fun - especially against skeletons with a holy mace :)

I like using Iron Maulers too.

Shyde

In the rebel campaign, I personally think the best unit is the Elvish Shyde.

It's the unit I would least want to have to live without.

Hmm I think I'd have to go with Elven Avenger or Paladin, myself. But yeah, Elven Shydes are great too.

Well it realy depends on the situation; as some units like the mage of light could never survive on their own; unless facing undead. I'd have to say that one of the level 3 drakes would be my choise; but they're not in the game yet :p so I just say I like the cave spiders for being evil incarnated with their awesome strenght; and ranged-slow attack.

I like ghouls, cheap + HP + 5-3 melee + poison = nice unit

And also ravenant, good resistance modifiers.

Avengers. Although my experience with wesnoth is still limited, I find they are very powerful on their own and very useful in a lot of situations.

In fact, I hardly use Champions anymore because of their low movement rate. Especially since Avengers have a 10-4 melee attack (11-4 when strong), and Champions have 12-4 (13-4 when strong).

In my opinion, Champions were much more useful when they still had 15-4 (well, I think that's obvious but I say this because of the Avenger/Champion comparison). Right now, Avengers are just better.

The Elvish Archer is probably the best unit in the game. It's the bread and butter of any Rebel army on multiplayer. Where would we all be today if we didn't have these guys? Eh? EH?
I seem to of lost my WAY.
