Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)

The bugged hunter of heroes attacks isn't much of a restriction on SCs? It's an assassination. Your unit goes first, then usually dies.

I didn't notice SC having much difficulty in slaying Hunter of Heroes - it has rather mediocre stats by SC standards. I imagine you face the risk of failing MR roll if you're attacked before you can put MR items or spells on your SC. But considering that the time frame between getting into HoF and getting MR items is small and that early your SC is probably your pretender (with MR 18) overall chances of your SC getting killed are pretty low. I'm not considering a risk of getting morphed here (nobody else has seen it, so I suppose it's pretty rare occurence).

HoF full of slained heroes is usually a result of battlemages or early thugs quickly getting into HoF and they stand little chance vs HoH.
