--------> Friend used the scorpions quite a bit. They weren't too bad. I
liked the death dealers myself, though they always died fairly quick.
Cauldrons were nice too if you managed to get in range.

-------> I never used Gutrippas - I liked bonebreaks/bonecrunchas, as
the deathroller thing was too cool and really annoyed my opponent when
it worked.
