Confirmed way to capture Mythic Tier 5 Units
I'm not sure if it's posted elsewhere but here it is;

First you will either need 2 things: Final Ultimatum or a hero/unit that can seduce.

Second and most importantly you will require the spell devolve. You will need to succesfully cast on the unit for any of it to work.

Other spells lower resistance and/or morale are very helpful but not required.

Third step is to crush it's morale and use final ultimatum.

Thing is, tier 5 mythic units cannot be captured by final ultimatum because they don't rout. But if you devolve them first you can indeed, and they will revert back to their form after combat, and under your control!

Again i am sorry if it's posted elswhere, but i just made it work and captured 3 tier 5 mythics.

Chiming in to indicate, tier 5 Mythic Units CAN route. I have managed to make both a Horned God as well as a Lost Wizard flee the battlefield, while they were the defenders. It does bear mentioning that they were both summoners. The Lost Wizard kept getting combat summon spells with their tome and the Horned God did absolutely nothing the entire battle but summon poisonous flowers. I managed it without even using morale-oriented tactics.

Getting tier 5s to reliably route may nonetheless be difficult enough that having the extra assurance could not hurt.

Interesting, i kept 2 tier 5 units tank tons of morale debuffs and they didn't go past lower than -59, and -60 is required for an unit to rout. Maybe it's different for some units.

One was a frost dragon and the other was a rancor wannabe.

Also horned god is a unit you can actually summon, so maybe it's different for unique units.

The Horned God can be summoned, but not the Lost Wizard AFAIK.

Thank you for this post, it helps so much. I'm the type of player who like to capture these incredibly hard to get units and win the game with them.
