For raiding brends are best, fire to be exact since shadow or frost won't work on undead, and is AP also.
As for SC's, what item you'll use depends on what SC you're facing.
Gloves of the gladiator are nasty especially in CBM, and combined with jade armor/boots and a stone bird.
However, Golems are generally best anti SC units IMO.

I confess, I have used Bone Armor on a GoR'ed Gargoyle with a Stone Sword. That was mostly for fun, though.

axes of hate are pretty useful for antiSC use as well.

Re: Your Top 10 Super Combatant Builds
 

Im relatively new to this so forgive me if im wrong. Re Tartarians, many people around seem to suggest this SC as if it was a clear option. But as far as I know after playing Ermor as my first nation so far, Tartarians come random so you can perhaps have a cyclops with no magic (as it has happened to me) and feebleminded at that, or maybe you have another type coming, etc.

Is there a way to actually be able to select the Tartarian you want?

Re: Your Top 10 Super Combatant Builds
 

There is no way to select a tartarian you want, 1/5 of them come as commanders, others as normal units, most of them are feebleminded and have various afflictions, so you need either the chalice or GoH up to heal them so they can be used for fighting, and you need to GoR those that are units and not commanders.
3E2A are the best for fighting, Tartarian Titans are best with magic skills, they have 2 2 3 random paths, and Tartarian Monsters are the worst.

Pretty much every game is tartarian oriented so It would be interesting to see a game without tartarians, or clams as to see some new ideas for late stage games.

Re: Your Top 10 Super Combatant Builds
 

But they're cheap, only 10 gems once you've geared up to cast it, so you can get a lot of them and then pick which ones you want to GoR.

And you'll occasionally get non-feebleminded ones, even as commanders.

Re: Your Top 10 Super Combatant Builds
 

Actually there's one going on (Bloodless).

Re: Your Top 10 Super Combatant Builds
 

Interesting, although I'd leave blood summons since their numbers are limited.

Something I'd like to try, maybe I'll start a game like this soon when I have more time,
A 4 team game with no Tartarians, gem generators of any kind, AC, AN, Burden of Time, Utherdark. More ordinary and conventional warfare.
Let's see Bane lords, Spectres or Firbolgs put to a bigger use and not just a rush for the chalice and than Tartarinas like in 90% of the games.

Re: Your Top 10 Super Combatant Builds
 

2-2-3 doesn't really describe it right, as they can end up with like A7, right?

Re: Your Top 10 Super Combatant Builds
 

2-2-3 is correct, though possibly misleading.
2 of any path, another 2 of any path, and another 3 of any path.
There's just nothing preventing each of the 3 sets from being the same path.

I'm not sure how else you'd describe it.
