Who is your favorite SC?

[Huzurdaddi]

I'm guessing that you actually mean Bifrons the ice devil with 2 astral, IIRC.

But doesn't that 2 astral leave him really vulnerable to Mind Duel? That sounds like a pretty big hole in an SC to me.

As to what I like ... If we are talking about crazy no limits on gems kinds of pretenders then I like some kind of immortal ( probably a VL ) who has wished for power and wished for magic a couple of times. I like the immortality since even if *somehow* your opponent is able to kill him ( unlikely ) you don't lose 1000 astral gems that you have invested.

If we are talking about normal cost SC's then I like the AQ's and the IDs. Both are dandy.

I equipped a Tien Chi immortal hero as an SC and sent him into combat (alone versus a huge army, but in my dominion)... and he got mind-enslaved =) Immortality is not perfect. I can't remember how respawning worked after my immortal got taken by the enemy.

If you've done the research, and have both the death-7 and nature-4 (GoR) casters, it's hard to beat Tartarians for their sheer hp and other base stats, their frequently useful innate magic (and the earth/air guys are fixed), full set of slots (for the humanoids), zero enc... they're not ethereal, immortal or flying (other than the Manticore Monstrum) but they're very, very buff.

Among uniques, Ambicephalos the Ettin Mandragora deserves a nod for good base hp, decent stats, three hand and two head slots, sleep vines, and recuperation.

For non uniques I've had good success with the tarrasque (GoR'd). Put 2 of the following on him:
amy of resilience
immunity ring
regen ring
luck charm

Don't use him on undead.

I don't intend to put "wished up VQ" on the poll, but VQ will be there.

Yeah a VQ with these or even more Pathes as starting magic is still my most loved SC :

It is only an indy expansion SC though , storm + eagle eyes or aim + dust to dust and ... .

But you can expand quickly and then summon AQs immediately .

My favorite must be the Vanadrott a commander at Vanheim



It really kick the guts out of the enemies.

Looks cool .
Unfortunately a little bit fragile also :
With the current gear no Air/Fire resistence .

And mind duel will always be an issue .
But defense is absolutely GODLIKE .

Fortunately there is the eye shield or Petrify against though
