I thought the astral serpent attacked anyone who attacked your unit. So it could potentially have a dozen attacks a round-but then, maybe it doesn't work that way.

The in game description states that it strikes "each" time the holder attacks so I would take that to be four times for my champs. It is rare for any human sized victim to survive and walk around poisoned, though I have seen it.

I should point out that the slave princes are decked out with 20 strength and a 9 damage blade for 29 and victims are around 21 to 27 hp + arm. So as I understand it if they are surviving attacks it should not be by much. This might mean the few extra points could make a difference or it could just be luck.

naw, the dude who says its just an extra weapon is the dude who is correct.

Has anyone tried Astral Serpent in conjunction with Bow of War + eye of aiming?

Why? Isnt the astral serpent just an extra melee attack?

OK, I'll admit it was entirely wishful thinking, but the item description doesn't rule it out. ANd it would be a coole effect, although once known it would be overexploited...
