Looking for help with SC pretenders

I am sure it is the same against any other SC who has quickness/flying/mistform. Trample has a pathetically low probability against these buffs.

Nope, the big decider here is etherealness (although if the trampled has a lifedraining attack it's even worse). For the record, I saw an AI Dagon lose an arena dearhmatch to a Black Servant once.

Myself I learned the effectiveness of etherealness vs trampling the hard way in my first MP a few years ago, when I lost THREE Iron Dragons to a Dusk Elder and an etherealized Ghoul!

I still think trampling is great, it's just not great vs everything, so pick your targets accordingly. A trampling pretender should equip as many reinvigoration items as possible. Buying a few levels of death magic for Soul Vortex is also a good idea.
