Question on SC's

[Soapyfrog]

Spells like quickness, ironskin, mistform, body ethereal, mirror image paired with the right pretender chassis can give you an SC very early that will mow through independents like chaff, with a minimum of equipment (I like paired main gauches myself, but paired enchanted swords or ice swords work very very well too.

For added punch fire shield or breath of winter really help.

Requires some spell research and item forging but a lot of nations can have their pretender ready to start slaughtering indeps by turn 8 at the latest.

As I was saing in the thread about damage multipliers almost all SC chassis are either magical beings or are undead/demon. Since damage multipliers add strength before doubling all that is required to kill any SC which is based upon one of these chassis is a couple of high strength chassis equipped with one of the weapons to which the high powered SC is vulnerable.

There are some exceptions to this: Nifel Jarls, Furblogs, and smoe pretenders. But for the rest an mini-SC equipped with an anti-SC weapon should do the trick.

For the Air Queen in question a couple of banelords equipped with moonblades, rings of the warrior, and burning pearls would do the trick. Their attack would probably be sufficient to hit and if they did hit they would kill it. Jade armor is optional as are boots of flying.

Enjoy.

Copper Plate or Ring of Tamed Lightning - no reason to let Queens get their freebie armour negating lightning attacks hit home. Won't hurt much per attack but since quickened Thuella (I admit, worst case scenario) hits with lightning six times per turn it will count.
