The Gorgon is one that does, because of her inherant Petrification. 200 units attack most SC's and you've got 199, maybe 198 units, and a very dead SC.

Equipping a charcoal shield (7 ap fireshield) works pretty well too against weak foes.

Edit: Or a Carrion Dragon

It can cast soul vortex, but it cant regenerate (unless you play pangea and cast the right national priest spell). No regeneration seems so scary against lifeless units.

HoneyBadger said:If I can take out a hundred of the other guy's troops per SC of mine, and still keep the SC, it could very well decide the game, even if I'm putting all of my astral pearls into SCs. After all, I'm going to have a lot more of them than the other guy, because that's one thing R'lyeh's good for.

One risk of a solo 300-gem supercombatant in late late late game is running into a squad of 20 blood-3 mages. Each scripted to cast "life for a life". Total cost 20 blood slaves for 800 armor negating damage at range 100/precision 100.
