Is Helm of Discord the most useful item?

[bozz5674]

What other items are as useful?

This last update nerfed the range... even so...

No, the Hammer of Reddit is definitely of higher destructive potency.

Haha.

I think it's a vanilla item, but there's an item Massamoone's pride that gives quite an AP boost and the bound wind spell from the Lore of Heavens.

There is a great HE item that is rare and it gives spearman and archers vanguard.

Also, I found a sweet rare cloak of ulric that has an AoR passive debuff. I got that in the first or second battle as Franz. It has been enormously useful.

I like Staff of Damnation, but that's exclusive to Counts.

Tormentor sword is nice for slow factions.

Tormentor Sword is a big one.

Van Horstmann's Speculum is a good one for the Empire. Think Helm of Discord, but stronger, and not armour, so you can combo it with the Helm to shut down ANYTHING for a time. Hell, couple those with the Tormentor Sword to keep those useless wretches from running just before the effects of the other items wear off and you get yourself one guaranteed dead unit every 60-odd seconds.

I was going to suggest the Tormentor Sword as well....

Heck, it's a good thing they nerfed the fireball ring.... I played using that vs Bloody Hands once, and fired off about 20 shots while they held their position :)

Ruby of ruin. Hits only good on clumps, but does push the ai after a few hits.

There are a few items that are quite strong - forgive me I dont remember the names.

You can use armor/weapon that both debuff the enemy for a pretty big chunk of attack values. And I believe there is a buff combo of those as well.

Hands down the best 2 items for a vampire lord have to be gambler's armor and the 20% dmg ward so you have massive damage reduction. Combined with the ability to heal yourself as well as passive draining in combat you wont take damage from anything unless it is from artillery practically.
