[quote=Baalz;776147It's usually a sucker's bet to try and kill regenerating giants in traditional ways (ie whacking on their hit points). You're usually better off attacking their fatigue. Skellispam with grip of winter/rigormortis or vinecritters/sleep cloud/sprites or stellar cascades/ghost grip or ice pebble staffs/dispossessed spirits or some more creative stuff. Davanas are good troops, but (fortunately) they're not a silver bullet. Being size 6 they don't chew through chaff all that fast - particularly if they're trying to storm a castle gate.[/QUOTE]

There is also a matter of instant kill spells, though the 18 MR makes that a bit difficult in this case. Still, there are plenty of regenerating giants for whom a Soul Slay or two is a wonderful option, though being able to switch them to your side is obviously better.
