Re: Best item
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.

Yeah this is definitely the case. In my last game I was faced with an enemy SC wielding an Eye Shield. I had a pair of strong SCs which could have defeated it, but I was unwilling to let them fight because I didnt dare risk that they would lose an eye.
However you can still counter it by just bringing the SC down with mages or a suicide thug of some kind. |

Re: Best item
I am absolutely sure that Eye Shield is not so great against SCs. You really need luck and it may take even 20-40 hits for other SC to lose just one eye. I had 1:1 fight, my Tartarian with Eye Shield against Arch Devil and he lost one eye after about 40 turns of battle.

Re: Best item
Z, you are destroying the fearsome mystique of the Eye Shield.

And I have given eye losss to an SC after the first hit. So who is right? Shall we fight about it? My eye shield wielding SC vs. your eye shield wielding SC?

Re: Best item
I think that the attack has to miss into the exact range that the eyeshield improves defence by.

This is possible and even likely given the description of the eye shield. So is the MR check, but we currently do not know for certain. |

Re: Best item
If there's no MR check then any (non-spider etc.) attacker would be blind on the second round. That's easy to check if you're worried about it.
