In this case, I think breath weapons are our best bet. Balerion + 8 drakenbeasts can cover literally half of that with one breath weapon each, and they can maximize it to require a reflex save for the mist to not get 1 shot.

Yep, that's why I just shifted Balerion over from the Right to the Center.

Heavily shifted servitors to the Center, but kept all of the Sea Drake servitors on the Left. Their Sunbursts will no doubt be useful, and as @Archibald pointed out, their Ball Lightning breath weapons will be helpful to shut down the Profane Regeneration of the Nemhains. That's why Waymar is over there, too.

The Nemheins are on Namaaru's flank, not our.

@DragonParadox
The last threatmark is wrong.

Reminder that the Manticores also have Energy Shot systems. I'd let them fire a mix of APFSDS rounds and HE shells into the center. They are probably trying to hide something from precise bombardment there.

The Chariots are on our flank.
They would be utterly useless against Namaaru's Undead. Negative Energy heals those.
It think they have a juiced-up version of this maybe?

The opposite flank must therefor be Namaaru's.

I think the right and left might have been mixed up due to perspective?
Regardless, as long as the Nemhein are on the opposite flank of the NE-suicide-bombers, they can't be in our territory.

Okay, here's what I've got so far, with @Crake's recommended distribution of Legion forces. I've reduced the auxiliary forces committed to the reserves in order to beef up the other fronts.

The Devouring Mist swarms are going to resist most of the Sunbursts our servitors throw at them, but a lot will still get through their SR, and even those which don't will do a nice job of burning down the less resilient Undead.

Getting rid of the Devouring Mist swarms is going to mostly comes down to Viserys, the Companions, and AoEs like breath weapons.

Does this look correct now?

The right flank is where the charioteers with suicide horses are. That's got a bunch of our forces, including 10 Sea Drake servitors for Sunburst and Vee to turn loose an army of Elementals.

The left flank is held by the forces of Sathar, supplemented by some of our own, including 5 Sea Drake servitors. They can drop their Sunbursts on the enemy, then wait to help suppress the Nemhains ' Regeneration with their breath weapons.

Why not use Titan Tools to quickly throw up obstacles that block the chariots from charging?

We can at least use Brilliant Barrier charms on them.

Plan updated with this:
--[] x50 Brilliant Barrier charms will be distributed among our forces on the right flank to use at the best possible time to halt enemy charges or to defend the lines against detonation of the modified Undead horses.
--[] Wherever possible Walls of Stone will be raised via Titan Tools in order to hinder enemy charges while having a minimal impact on our own cavalry.

We just took delivery on 50 more Brilliant Barrier charms and 10 sets of Titan's Tools from our latest commission, so these should be available.
