Princess, paladin and Pigiana are very good for many levels in all the caves except when fighting enemies with the ability to dispel the counter that pigiana casts on your paladin. I didn’t find cave 1 to be too difficult so I liked using wizard and spies to get through the waves quickly. However my birds were level 20+ and all were veteran or better when I started cave 1. You might need to do some grinding to get at least the veteran class for all the birds you use and gain a couple levels if it is too difficult.
You need a bird that can remove harmful effects when fighting shamen and witch doctors. You want to take those guys out and the lightning pig as fast as you can. If you get affected by their reduced healing, use potions to heal.
When fighting 2 brutes using princess is a bad idea unless your paladin is strong enough to absorb both hits from the brutes by using devotion. I would suggest using the samurai and his defense formation when fighting 2 brutes and maybe wizard, Rainbird or Druid. Princess and knight might work against 2 brutes. You generally want to use your rage chili with chuck’s speed of light attack and if you aren’t using chuck then use Red’s heroic strike.
