Default Re: Looking for help with SC pretenders

Having played Dagon in my first MP game, I can say that trample fails miserably against SCs. He was fine clearing the level 9 indies, but was completely hopeless against the VQ. The VQ with the quickness and mistform never got run over. It always squirted away. Every single time. So the VQ just kept growing in HP as Dagon slowly died. Totally one-sided.

I am sure it is the same against any other SC who has quickness/flying/mistform. Trample has a pathetically low probability against these buffs. And it will never use the normal sword attack when up against a smaller opponent. Even against indies, dagon was always getting heavily fatigued while trampling. A reinvigoration artifact is an absolute must.

You simply cannot make a true SC who has the busted ability trample. Now, if there was a way to turn it off before a battle, than I would modify my opinion. Or maybe even if it was smart enough to actually do an attack rather than trying a completely hopeless trample a dozen times or more. But as it stands, trample loses to pretty much ANY other SC who is smaller in size.
