I see what you mean, but in my experience, you can just include a few mages(Mystics or Ice Maiden) as part of your army pick to counter early piercing resistance. That or have the Hero itself deal with it(also, with a retinue of Ancient Wisps, you have a lot of non-piercing damage as well). Against a super early rush, you dont have the mana to summon many golems anyway.

I would say that a High Elf or Wood Elf Chieftain might be a good pick for it. A decent fighter that can boost Unicorns and Dragon Knights with Riding. High Elf can boost Unicorns further with Life Rune and have also healing spells, while Wood Elf boost fliers with Sky Rune, with access to Nature Magic.
