Use Ensnare to bring flying units to the ground so that you can kill them with melee units such as Grunts and Tauren.
Use Ensnare to stop units from running away. If the enemy is running away, cast Ensnare on the tail end of their train. Pick off whatever units you can which will reduce the enemy army and make them pay for running.
Use Ensnare to break away powerful enemy melee units so they can no longer contribute to the battle as shown in a below screenshot.
Don't bother casting Ensnare on ranged troops unless you're trying to prevent them from running away.
You can continue to cast Ensnare on enemy Heroes to trap them if you have multiple Raiders with Ensnare ready to go. Just keep casting until your army can finish the Hero off.
Ensnare can be used to interrupt spells that require spell channeling.
When Assaulting a town, Peons or Peasants etc. will try to repair. Use Ensnare to stop them.
