They tend to lose many 1-on-1 fights, but they are the evil-version of giants, a lot quicker of course. If you make sure they don't take damage(by for example sending in dragons or orcs first), they deal so much damage themselves. And they can clean up spellcasters like nobodies business(especially with the dragonslover balance patch removed and they no longer waste time throwing a fireball). This is helped a lot by their lava-walk and high speed, so they can easily take out fairies flying over lava lakes or wizards guarding on lava-islands.
