While it's not the most powerful item in the game, I really like hydra skin armor because it gives prot, regen and poison immunity in one neat and cheap package. My thugs and SCs are happy customers who have opted for the hydra skin.

Most powerful - Eye Shield, because a decent defensive SC with this means that many of your enemies' fiercest troops are soon playing banjo at the veterans hospital and predicting rain from when their knee swells up.

Not to mention they miss the spittoon a lot, which is also kinda gross.

I love making Juggernauts, Gift of Reasoning them, then giving them the Ark and sending them in solo. They crush all in their path!

Nah, that isn't so easy. I think eye shield has MR check, so to work it against good SC with MR above 20 he needs to hit you like 30-50 times to lose just one eye.

Eye shield ends up taking out the eyes of units with quite high MR with very good probability. And I didn't say to use it against an SC.

Eye shields take out eyes with great regularity. It really does not take much... hit a unit with an eye shield.. you lose an eye. Hit him again, you lose the other eye.

That is why SCs with an Eye Shield are so rarely targeted by other SCs. They don't want to go blind. It is an extremely nice fear tactic.

I know you may throw some game statistics at me, but just forge one, use it, and watch. The Eye Shield almost always causes eye loss when the unit bearing it is hit.
