@ Xietor: you missed a support mage casting body ethereal and luck on the bane.

I never played Abysia either, but played against them once. They are too predictable, that is the main problem.

Sure, the initial Phoenix Power+Falling Fires is predictable (and effective in the early game), but after that Aby (even EA) should be diversifying using Blood.

no i did not. i had a pendant of luck on him, and a support mage cast body ethereal then retreated. He still died.

Banelord: fire brand, vine shield dragon helm luck pend. ring regen boots quickness.

And he had body ethereal(:

After that I was not feeling lucky so i sent in Ruin with soul vortex and 100 fr as well. that did the trick.

Boots are pretty iffy due to trample fatigue IMO, I'd much prefer an AE weapon.

The Chalice

Or is there anything you can do with 2 magic eyes? He's got nothing to lose now

Micah with the winner!

Boots are iffy. But you do have summon earthpower, and you can give him revig items. But yeah, Fire Brand is likely his best option.

Plus with zero defense, you hate to trample into the middle of a bunch of enemies that hit hard

. Though I guess you could equip him with a vine and an eye shield to enhance his survivability somewhat.

Fire Brand? If he's already lost his eye, go for the gold - Dimensional Rod.

You could also use a 100 precision item like the standard of the damned. Depends who you fight.

So, you had luck and body ethereal. Then it was several lucky hits in succession, it could have happened with a smaller amount of pd as well. Your thug can only get surrounded by a certain number of units.

Vine shield was probably not a good choice, since they are very strong. Gold shield would have done the trick.

Lol, lately in the forum I've just noticed a growing trend of underestimating elephants because there are so many counters for them on paper... Hope the Admiral's harbinger wasn't an unguilty victim of these ideas

Xietor · #10 December 11th, 2008, 05:05 PM

well, to be fair, the elephants were led by a Sleeper, and they have a nice Standard.

That may have countered the fear helmet effects. shrug.
