Blood SCs

It's true though that the main thing with blood slaves is that you should have a scout along and hand out slaves as needed, but that's the same with normal gems.

Concerning imps: they have two attacks, so they profit somewhat more than others from Blood Lust/Rush of Strength, but they won't if they're summoned after the buff was cast. Mostly I see them as a Summon Swarm that's not as good a distraction but with a small offensive potential.

Oh, man. This takes me back to the days when Swarm was an almost full-proof SC killer. Don't actually quite remember how it worked, (Something with doing 1AN damage each, so not really counterable?) but boy, was it fun.

You know, you would think that Abysians would have virgins of their own to sacrifice.
