Your Top 10 Super Combatant Builds

[Arcturas]

Speaking of enslavement, I just had the AI (Ashdod) Control the Dead my King of Banefires... Guess that's what I get for taking an ammy of luck instead of MR. I suppose what with the soul vortex and banefire aura and shield of gleaming gold, luck was a little unnecessary...

Live and learn! Got him back, though. (loving the Tomb Kings nation) Now I can have two of them!

Yeah I love Pedoisean. Stymphalian wings and other equipment as appropriate, summo nearth power, iron will, invulnerability, reinvigorate and let him fly

You people don't generally use Bone Armour then? I've been thinking it is pretty standard SC gear. Sure, it is expensive in gems, but it keeps the SC going and going like a duracell bunny.

It's waaaay too expensive to use! Not to mention it's 30 deaths gems (including the hammer) and not fire or air.

It's also high encumbrance IIRC and low Prot. Soul Vortex is nice and all, but it's mainly an anti-chaff spell and really, there are other ways to get regen and 0 net encumbrance that don't have such a high opportunity cost. Plus, relying only on Soul Vortex is an invitation to get skelly-spammed to death.

I guess the question I should be asking is: what commanders/equipment setups do you think would benefit from Bone Armor? I could maybe see it on a Tartarian or a Cyclops because they tend to have Earth magic for Prot, don't need Ethereal, and doubled HP on a Cyclops (let alone a Tartarian) is enough to survive Gifts From the Heavens!

Bone armor gives 100% extra hp? Never tried that armor cuz soulvort alone with high prize is crappy armor.

Ice Devils. They have high natural protection, low encumbrance and pretty high health. Should be a perfect candidate for bone armor. And if you give them just about any reinvigoration item, skelly spam shouldn't kill them.

Soul vortex will allow a commander to drain more than his max life, is how it is doubling the hp.

Troll bodyguards.

[Maerlande]

Damn, neat trick Chris

I've got a game where that will be perfect.
