Re: tide turning items
 

Got another quick question, what exactly does the "gift of kurgi" item do?

tide turning item == the moon

Re: tide turning items
 

Horror marks the hell out of you
makes you ethereal
Fear +25.

Going from memory.

We owe so much to the moon!

Re: tide turning items
 

Extra attack, etherealness, fly, luck, fear+25, cursed & curses wielder + horror mark, automatic Call Horror at start of battle, spell : Send Horror
In CBM : also renders you insane

Despite the insanity I really like it especially on chassis with few slots. Only miscellaneaous item that gives fly outside of air

At some situations it's more effective to mass produce the exact cheap items needed for your mages\thugs\SCs rather than to shoot for the holy grail artifact or aim to quickly hoard the worthy ones. This approach also saves your research for key spells in other schools and leaves gems for globals/summons.

The shiny gadgets are cool but careful deliberation is required prior to making the investment. The key questions for me are how soon I estimate to return the investment and whether same gems+research time has better use.

Last observation - no unit is invincible. Kit a Seraph with the coolest artifacts (at a steep gem cost) and it can still go down to any number of things: anything from mass seeking arrows to VotD, horror mark spam or custom made ambush. So sometimes it makes sense not to put all the eggs in the same basket :)
