Talk:Mind Ripper

Weak to Treant under the spell, Plant Growth.

Notes

- Highly effective when used in conjunction with Monkey Brains.
- Should not be used against stacks that possess strong poison attacks, and/or psychic resistances. These units include, but are not limited to the Treant, Leviathan and Horned Demon.
- Edit: Monkey Brains only gives a relatively small boost to MR, doubling their smaller primary attack
- Edit to above: although Monkey Brains "only" doubles their primary attack, that attack is 1/3rd their total output. So they go from 12,000 damage to 16,000. A sizeable increase, especially when you consider that Monkey Brains are usually very cheap.
- While they don't look to be as damaging as some of the other units with their 10.4 damage:net power ratio, it must be remembered that magic and psychic receive 100% efficiency while other types of attacks are 20-80% efficient. So at the least they are 20% more powerful than a non-psychic/magic attack. And with their 3 initiative on both attacks as well as high resists, it is a very powerful unit.
- Since this unit is undisbandable and summons in very large numbers for Blue, it is easily possible to reach a population spiral and be required to send them on suicide attacks to disband them.
-They are by far the most population-intensive unit in the game, being almost double the cost of the highest nether units.
