4. Some items (such as the Wraith Sword) cast "Drain Life" automatically when you hit with a melee weapon. Others allow you to cast the spell "Drain Life" (or Life Drain?), such as the Standard of the Damned. Is there a big difference here in the way the spells work?

This is not what happens. The wraith sword causes normal damage to an opponent. The amount that gets through the armour is doubled for fatigue reduction, and halved for health gain.

is this true for all 3 forms of lifedrain attack ?
spell , built in and weapon lifedrain ?

and if you attack a 6 hp unit does this mean you get 3 health + 12 fatigue restored or do you get the health + fatigue restored according to the damage you did (which would be higher probably) ?

unfortunately it is pointless though since there is no unit with <5 hp who is not lifeless already .

is there any good sc which is lifeless ?
the golem is but he has S2 so he is useless because of mind duel .

hm the only one is probably the ettin hero from pangenea cw .

Dispossessed Spirits have only 1 HP and are not lifeless. SG Ermor will have hundreds of them, anyone can get some with the Spirit Mastery spell.

Lich pretenders (and the Demilich summon) are credible SCs, lifeless, and immortal too.

Iron Dragons, Siege Golems, any of the big constructs, while not exactly SCs because of lack of items, are still powerful lifeless units.

yeah iron dragons etc are good but not good anti sc units normally

the dispossed spirits are not lifeless so the sc gets at least some hp restored .
the question is if this is only 1 hp or more

the real problem with the dispossed spirits is though that a fireshield will kill most of them too easy

i thought myself first on dragonflies but they have strength 0 and 2 bite damage so not enough to damage a sc

the lichs are good but i use them rather as lifedrain anti-sc
