They are a national spell for kailasa/bandar/patala. Or you can wish for them (but not really worth it IMO).

Thanks. Is there any post where we have listed all these main SC and how to summon them?

I guess the question I should be asking is: what commanders/equipment setups do you think would benefit from Bone Armor? I could maybe see it on a Tartarian or a Cyclops because they tend to have Earth magic for Prot, don't need Ethereal, and doubled HP on a Cyclops (let alone a Tartarian) is enough to survive Gifts From the Heavens!

Bone armor gives 100% extra hp? Never tried that armor cuz soulvort alone with high prize is crappy armor.

Ice Devils. They have high natural protection, low encumbrance and pretty high health. Should be a perfect candidate for bone armor. And if you give them just about any reinvigoration item, skelly spam shouldn't kill them.

Soul vortex will allow a commander to drain more than his max life, is how it is doubling the hp.

Troll bodyguards.

Damn, neat trick Chris

I've got a game where that will be perfect.

Actually , Ice Devils suck. They are the worst of the blood summons, and still cost a lot (88 slaves). they are rarely even worth the trouble.

It's a matter of opinion. I really like them. They are only 88 slaves, they can quicken themselves, and they have great stats. And you only need level 6 in research to summon them. Now that you're not making clams any more, spend 5W gems on Wolven Winter, targeting the province you're moving into, and put that Cold Power to work.

What is the best build for an Ice devil? I tend to summon them when I get impatient for the Devils/Heliophagii, but I have never been impressed with them. Are they a worthwhile thug/SC for underwater applications?

Sombre · #80 December 21st, 2009, 08:53 AM

Do they also get increased prot in the cold ala niefs? If not, they should.
