Super-Combatants

i know there are some threads on this elsewhere but i would really like to get a list of scs, equipment, spells, and strategies. i think it would be very helpful for people (me included) and also good for coming up to alternate SCs never before seen.

i'll start:
invunrable abomination
extremely simple, all you need is an abomination with a ring of regen and then either a magic resistance item or a reinvigorating item.

since all those life drain tentacles and its massive regen will keep it alive for ages its pretty good to guard pretenders aswell and since it dosnt have that many items is not too expensive
(gift of reasons the most expensive thing unless you want to empower him)

but i was trying to keep the cost down

+ that has loads of exp + a heroic.

the heroic comes on its own after a while, when your hero is equiped like that.

What helmet is that, I don't recognize it.

it is amon hotep i think but im not sure, and i know about the heroic but just saying it makes it stronger and more impressive

heh, one of my SC faves - Amon Hotep: 30 prot, awe, +5 MR

i did a nataraja with amon hotep, blood thorn, hell sword, ring of regen, krupps bracers, and some armour + shield of gleaming gold/accursed shield.
i also did one with staff of kurgi, the twin spear with the horror calling, gift of kurgi, and horror harmonica. he wasnt that effective but it was fun (was in sp and i wished for horrors and stuff as his bodyguards vrs horrors attacking him)

Im not sure if this is what you were looking for, but the classic thug SC is just a bane. So:

Wraith Sword (or whatever lifedrainer is easiest for you)
Boots of Flying
Amulet of Luck (or some other luck item)

Send it out like that or tailor it to suit your needs.

Turin,
Your SC is quite impressive, kudos !

Usually any SC has a weakness, but here I can't see much to do against her ...
Total equipment cost is somewhat like 200 gems yet, plus 100 gems for air and water empowerement, with 2 artifacts...

But how in hell does an AQ ends up with 270 hp ?? Just life drain effects (looks like you've made a combat screen, as she has some fatigue) Increased hp from heroic ability ??
