Can normal army take out Sphinx pretender?

Easiest way to take down a sphinx in combat: dusk daggers and gate cleavers. Both cause armor negating damage, and tossing a squad of mid to high level thugs armed with these weapons will chop the sphinx up in no time. Especially the gate cleaver, 29 armor negating damage is quite a wallop. Machaka should have no problem producing either one of these, as gate cleavers are earth only and dusk daggers are earth/astral, so you just need a random astral pick for black sorcerer.

Right, Gate Cleavers, not Hammers of the Mountains. My mistake, I got the two mixed up.

Speaking of armour negation, does Astral Weapon make your weapon AN or only AP? Does it affect ALL weapons?

AN. I thought it affected all weapons but I've never tried a ranged weapon with it.
