A Malikah heavy thug that may succeed vs light troops - but gets bonked through its invuln and plate by cavemen. A good example of a very expensive heavy thug - used against the wrong type of indie. It's tools are ill suited to cavemen (the short mace, the armor stacking)

Lucids Tournament R2G1 E18 Great Mother Pretender SC variant LA Xibalba 11.52 - Regeneration Bless - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPH0ozazzxU
A big trampling blob of HP with 30% Regeneration. Simple, but effective, and uses thunder whip and eye shield as repel/general defensive layers (plus ethereal)

A solid combination of awe, assorted defences, prot stacking, regeneration and poison chips away the neighbouring units

When actually watching the replay - this fight was won by battlefield spells and Gibbors - not SC's. The SC's were dramatic on both ends (Fallen angels for Marignon + titan, vs Annumaki for Gath - but it really was the mage core (mass magic duel), plus spells that took it home - not any SC unit.
There was also a small array of Gadol thugs with varied kitouts - but fairly standard armor + dragon helmet + 2 weapons + ring of the warrior + boots + 1 misc kits - which seem to be standard this game. Arguably Seren Army thugs did quite a lot here, with GSS. Some creative weapon choices here too - including Doom Glaive. We don't need to go into detail as we've covered similar units earlier
40 Gem Anti-Caveman Heavy THug
A repel thug - this layers enough defences to deal with the otherwise troublesome cavemen indies. Exact spot lost - R2G1 Lucids Tournament 2025

A very expensive thug that's right on the line (ergo probably not worth it since if it dies - the cost is huge). In short - it has fatigue problems and risks getting an unlucky crit then bleeding out - but it's also fairly tanky and can survive. In the actual game it got a fairly lucky early morale rout - but in the cast it died - and given it routed the enemy after only 17/50 kills in the actual game, I'd guess dying to be fairly common outcome.
