Survilurg's artifacts

Author: leninisback

In this article we are going to compare survilurg's artifacts with old ones.

Note: Some of the survilurg's artifacts were not put in this article because of obvious disadvantages.

I. Warrior's artifacts

Rings
«Survilurg ring of strength»	«General`s ring»
+4 +4	+4 +1 +1 +2 +3%

You can see ”Survilurg ring of strength” is more suitable for warrior factions like barbarians, while ”General's ring” can be a great support for factions like Unholy necromancers or Darkness demons, because of its wide range of parameters. Also keep in mind that rushing tactics requires initiative parameters, so a thief's/plunderer's ring may be a better option.

Shields
«Survilurg shield»	«Flame shield»	«Recruiter shield»
+6 +1% Decreases ranged damage taken by 18%.	+5 Decreases ranged damage taken by 15%.	+4 Decreases ranged damage taken by 20%.

It doesn't take a genius to understand that Survilurg shield is the number one option for the left hand, because it has the highest protection.

Artifacts like survilurg arbalet/amulet are worse than corresponding shop artifacts, while artifacts like Survilurg sword are not really useful.

One more thing that is worth being compared is Survilurg dagger, but it is still a little bit worse than the plunderer's one.

II. Mage's artifacts

Armor
«Survilurg magical armour»	«Recruiter armour»	«Armour of twilight»
+5 +1 +1 +1% Grants 13% magic shield, increases the initiative of the lord by 5%, decreases melee damage taken by 10%	+4 Grants 12% magic shield, reduce melee damage taken by 12%.	+5 +1 +1 Grants 10% magic shield, increases the initiative of the lord by 5%.

Survilurg's armour is a little better than ”Twillight armour” because of it's parameters, as well as it is a much better option than Recruiter's armour. Survilurg's armour is an essential item for spell based tactics nowadays.

Footgear
«Survilurg magical boots»	«Jackboots of twilight»	«Mage instructor overshoes»
+4 +1 +1% Grants 12% magic shield, increases the initiative of the lord by 10%, decreases melee damage taken by 5%	+4 +1 Grants 10% magic shield, increases the initiative of the lord by 10%.	+2 +1 +1 Increases the initiative of the character by 15%.

If we forget that intiative is a vital thing in combat, then the best footgear for mages would definetely be survilurg's magical boots, however if you need to be first on the ATB bar, then ”Mage instructor overshoes” are not loosing to its the analogs.

Necklaces
«Survilurg magical pendant»	«Tactician charm»	«Award of Endurance»
+3 +2 +2 +3 +2% Grants 5% pierce through magic resistances when casting spells, increases the initiative of the lord by 5%	+5 Grants 5% pierce through magic resistances when casting spells.	+6 +1

”Survilurg magical pendant” is a unique artifact because of its bonus to lord's initiative, as well as massive defensive and spell parameters. It is definetely a ”must have” for chaos builds.

Of course, ”Magical tactic's pendant” is taking the second place, but Award of Endurance is a good option as well because of huge (+6) defence bonus.
