CS is op and, coupled with 20% wts, will provide solid thief defense during war.
Of course elf mystics will be able to MV cs off an elf heretic. Probably not on the first attempt though. Elf/heretic is a jack of all trades and a master of none. You aren't the best at anything, but you are good at a lot of stuff. You open chains via NM/NS and attacking, good at resource management during war and are capable of turning into an Econ machine a couple days into war. Once you realize the limitations of the combo, then you can take advantage of the strengths of it.
