Re: On the effective early use of Pretenders in combat
VQs are really nice... but I'm not sure that they're ALL that... still only got 23 hit points. And no protection to back her up when the odd hit does get through the etherealness.
I mean, ethereal != invincible. It means you are 75% less likely to be hit my non-magic weapons... but with only a 12 defense and 0 protection, that's pretty much the only thing you've got going.
In addition, her natural paths don't really do much for you in the SC arena.
It's pretty hard to put a price on immortality though, as it allows you to take chances in the early stages that you wouldn't normally, because the consequences are so minimal if she bites it.
