Who are the most powerful pretenders?

Frost Father - why did no one else mention him? I love this guy for Niefelheim et al

Careful with the terminology. Surely you meant Father of Winters, the titan-type SC chassis and not Frost Father, the A1W1 human rainbow pretender?

[JimMorrison]

Nono.

In my mind, especially for Nief, the Father of Winters is pointless. Niefel Jarls are all the SC you really need. I use the Frost Father for a 9W bless, and then fill him out with lower level paths for constructing items for the big guys.

Now, since Jotunheim and Utgard don't get the big Jarls, the FoW might be worth using, but he seems a horrible waste for Nief.


(Edit) - And for the D9 Gorgon, it's for the fear effect. Kind of handy for a solo SC, no? O.o

Hmm, yeah I can see how D9 for the extra would be fun, but very expensive. A horror helm will also give you +5 fear iirc.

[JimMorrison]

Indeed, which stacks with her innate aura, and the D9 bonus. Considering that the death bless isn't useless (just less powerful than fire), if you use her to good effect, it's capable of being just as worthwhile. Properly geared, in late game she can slaughter commanders/casters with near impunity.

Sounds fun. Won't work against a human, but fun in SP, which is what I play anyway. Maybe I'll try it.
