Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
 

Yeah, I just did the test. Fire elementals didn't get affected by the water queen. Water queen died from fire elementals. It's stupid if a medusa shield kills constructs. Poison golem should be immune.

Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
 

Another test: Sandals of the Crane + Spirit helm

Basically this combination will cause the poison golem to teleport infinitely and cast lightning bolt infinitely.

However, the golem routed, even with 50 morale. What the hell?

Auto rout.

Another test: Gargoyles - get killed from the medusa shield.

Another test: lvl2 astral mage paralyzed it. Wow... how did it get past 23 resistance so easily?

Re: How do I kill a water queen?
 

Blindfighters get killed by the Aegis, I just tested it. That's interesting that fire elementals are immune.

There is a recent thread about petrification somewhere.

Edit: I just ran a test with Fire Elementals (unit #599). They got petrified by a 100%FR unit wielding the Aegis.

Ok, I'll let you if my water-queen killing plan will work. For now, I don't want to reveal my plan.

Re: How do I kill a water queen?
 

She's not immune to fire OR lightning. Incinerate deals 18+ points of AN damage, so three incinerates/turn should be enough as long as the mages have decent precision. Three hits from Lightning Bolt/turn or two hits from Thunderstrike/turn would also work. Thunderstrike would also deal fatigue damage, which lowers her defence (-1 defence/10 points of fatigue, more detail on pg 76).

Pg 5 of the manual gives details about chances of beating difficult rolls. Base penetration 10 (sor S2 caster casting Paralyze) against mag res 20 (no S) is -10 in the table, or 3% chance. For S4 caster (base penetration 14), the chance would be 6% already.

Re: How do I kill a water queen?
 

Endo, the problem is that the queen is running around where there are no lightning or fire mages! Plus, she has luck. It seems that luck makes anything only work half the time. So you really need a small army of fire or lightning mages to kill it. Plus, she regenerates 36 hp per turn... very hard to kill.

If you regenerate 36 hp per turn and have 64hp, i'm pretty sure you need to do 64 damage PLUS 36 to kill the queen at full HP. That's 100 damage needed to kill her at full HP.

Edit: How do you know S3 is +4 penetration?

Re: How do I kill a water queen?
 

Is two rune smashers more effective than one? Or does penetration not stack?
