Re: Anti-SC commanders
Const 2, according to Zen's quick reference. I've found that several indy commanders each with one of those is a cost-effective way of spanking most SCs. It doesn't work all the time, but that's fine with me -- it's the threat that counts.

Re: Anti-SC commanders
Eye Shields work wonders on assassines as well. As long as it survives 2 hits, that is...

Re: Anti-SC commanders
One item I've found very useful to deal with seemingly unkillable SCs, if you can't afford the "Drain Life" standards, is the Staff of Corrosion. Once I had 7 mundane commanders with these toys annihilate an annoying Air Queen who had luck, high MR, and full immunity to everything - except there's no immunity to acid. I think she died before the 5th battle round.
There was a bit of discussion about these staves on the French forum some months ago.

Re: Anti-SC commanders
I couldn't get a unit regenerate enough to take mages with decay. Is DECAY a good way to kill SCs, or can they get enough regen to deny it and how?

Re: Anti-SC commanders
I think decay as an mr check usually? I think KO said that for banefire a high enough regen may work as after some set number of rounds (I think 50) the effect stops.
The staff of corrosion is a cool idea... although thats fire and water, right?

Re: Anti-SC commanders
Strange that Acid isn't used more against SCs, then. That should help Tien Chi, and Tien Chi is considered very weak.
