Or, more appropriately what are there uses? I've gotten these things from time to time since FE, and I'll send 'em into battle, and they just don't matter much. The reflective ability is nice, but their HP is so low...
They're rather suicidal in my opinion. But, I think the damage reflection does not take into account the attacking units armor. So, position the ME against a hard hitting, well armored enemy unit and it'll cause some serious damage in return. The ME dies, but assuming you're getting the ME from a shard you'll get another one in about 5 turns.
The fact that these units seem designed to die does not make them worthwhile or very attractive. I'd like to see their HP increased two or three fold.
I've only ever fought them, and I bet they have huge potential.
The unit is basically free...seems harsh to so quickly dismiss them as useless, especially early game.
I've found them very useful as free suicide troops to weaken armoured units. Also, IIRC their own defense isn't bad... The Ancient ones in particular seemed very tough for a free unit with such a powerful ability.
