Along these lines - does anyone know if a Chayot is "immune" to astral duels by virtue of the shapechange? i.e. do they just convert form, or are they down for the count at that point?

I fought one on several occassions in Glory.

They are hardy little bastards. I killed all but one of his forms on multiple occassions -but killing him was tough. Finally managed it by cutting off his escapes and making him route.

Definitely an awesome unit - and to my mind superiour to a seraph. However, he was using the chayot bug. IF that were banned, I'd call it more close to even.

AFAIK they just change form, like Hydra hit by Soul Slay.

Hrrrm will a Chayot hit by a Dimension Rod or a spell like Claws of Kokytos that banishis them to an icy real actually work? or will they just change shape.

What's the chayot bug?

If given a Ring of Wizardry, they suddenly have access to magic from all 4 forms, rather than just Astral.

And yes Humakty, all shapes have all slots, so retain all gear.

Do they keep their equipment when they change shape ? The last patch tells me they should, but I wonder if anyone tested it.

Now that's interesting. I wonder how empowerment affects a Chayot?

I imagine that if you give a chayot a RoW, you will be able to empower him based on the buggiest higher values.

The RoW bug is great for diversifying Ashdod's magic--you can do cross-path stuff like forge the Ark. I can't imagine that it would be a big deal on a SC though, because you don't have time to cast all the buffs it enables. My typical Chayot script is

Divine Blessing
Body Ethereal
Personal Luck
Resist Magic
[Astral Shield]

I can imagine dropping Astral Shield in favor of Invulnerability or something, but you lose a misc slot and pay an extra 36 gems for the RoW. To me this isn't worth it.
