Well yes, especially to kill an SC.

I'm not sure why. Paralyze attacks are MR checked, I think Stun can be made so as well. The point is that he is fragile, but is a specific counter to SCs.

Care to explain why? It's not the hardest thing in the world to make a Dusk Dagger. I was still envisioning the Golden Army, they have this big blade on one arm. I could just have it do massive damage, but it seemed more as if it were sharp, than anything else. I will be testing these beasties, you know. If AN is too much, I can make it AP.

His intended use is to kill Tartarians.

Well I mentioned that because the primary goal was things for the battlefield, so I first saw him as a "battlefield assassin", or a guy meant to counter SCs in direct combat, but not necessarily 1v1.

It's not the blade that stuns, reread what I said.
The stun is caused by intense pain and sensory overload from the bright furnace that powers it, and the horrendous noise it creates when in combat. Again, my apologies if you have trouble imagining it, try this video:
Golden Soldiers. Just imagine the fires inside much brighter, and a hellish scream emanating from the clockworks.
Also note the blades are glowing, but perhaps if I remove the undead multiplier, the rest will start making more sense to you. (Also note they look kind of pathetic in this clip, this is just before they all start spontaneously regerating/rebuilding.)

I didn't see this guy as an SC, but as an SC killer. This is the point of building a concept for him that allows him the ability to Stun a single target. It partially comes down to luck, if he gets on you first, you're dead. If you get him first, he's toast.
