Maia -- question

Maia is a formidable foe. What heroes, formations, defenses, or other measures have you found to be most effective?

I have heard the others saying good things about pandora, who takes less damage and deals more against archers.

I personally try to use a dodge formation and put in a cavalry where Maia is. My Pallas is great as she can morale suppress sometimes too. As always, a good set of cloaks will help too.

Fever's suggestions are all good.
One thing I'd like to add is: if you have Syrinx, then try to put her in the same column as Maia in such a way that Syrinx fires before Maia if possible. That way, when it's Maia's turn to fire, she's already crippled by Syrinx.
