SC gear

Perhaps this is just an SP question? Dunno, but in MP, replace the shield with an Eye Shield. An eye shield makes enemies quake before you. My SCs with an Eye Shield have rarely been attacked.

I wouldn't rely too much on that. In the LeafNosedBat MP game my capital PD (EA Ulm, PD 25) hacked a Wraith Lord with an Eye Shield to death in less than three rounds of actual fighting, though it was suboptimally equipped. The eye shield is good, but it is no guarantee against anything. It might deter other SCs somewhat, but the right kind of chaff can sneak up on you if you're not set to deal with them as well.
