It seems to me that an SC unless it relied on the types of magic that hit every one the battle field and deal dmg to them all,unless it had that a SC would have trouble fighting the troops that have high morale enmass. Like vine men. If an Sc was fighting a mass of vine men, it would have trouble killing them because it can only hit a few a turn. If you had like 50+ of em it would seem pretty easy to overwhelm a SC.

Ribbon the key to army-killer SC's is lifedrain. In dom2 Lifedraining weapons are EXTREMELY powerful becuase they not only drain HP from enemies into the SC (to above thier max hp!) but they also remove fatigue from the SC at the same time. In this fashion, an SC armed with a lifedrain weapon, respectable HP, prot, attack/def skill, can defeat a... basically an unlimited number of normal troops.

Thier effectiveness can be further increased by area of effect items (like horror helmets) and shield items (like charcoal shields). For your own enrichment, test out one of the common SC chasis, like a Bane or an Ice Devil. Give it a lifedrain weapon, maybe a speed item and a shield item. Then send it in against some mortal armies and see the carnage it wrecks.
