Lucky Guy (Item Set)

Lucky Guy is a early-to-late game item set. It consists of gold-accented items surrounding fortune and prosperity.

Items

Lucky Guy items are available in Epic and Legendary quality. The set includes following items:

	Cup	Knife	Watch	Book
Sprite
Name	Wealth Jar	Fortuity Knife	Destiny Watch	Tarot Book

Set Bonus

This set allows any unique instance of a unit to survive one lethal strike. After enduring a would-be-lethal blow, the wearer's health is set to 1 point. If the wearer gets revived, the set's bonus becomes available again.

Lucky Guy cannot negate special instakills such as Cephalopods's laser beam or Energy Sphere's transformation attack. However, it will trigger off regular attacks with massive damage, such as Nancy and Paramedic's electric discharge, lightning from rain, and Boss' crane attack.

Analysis

Since Lucky Guy affects resurrected units (i.e. Glenn, and those revived by Nancy), it allows each of them to survive more than just one lethal strike, effectively becoming better meat shields. However, this is as far as this set's application in main game goes, since Glenn is the only unit who can properly capitalize on its bonus thanks to his revival ability: LG allows him to survive 3 lethal strikes, and even bumps the number to 5 if he has his special unlocked. For all other units, even if LG allows someone expensive with a long cooldown to survive much longer, it's rarely a worthy bonus, since there are much better means to conserve resources.

Inversely, Lucky Guy's status is different in Skirmish, since it's a place riddled with one-shot attacks, and constant resource management doesn't play a role there. In a way, LG can be seen as a superior alternative to Builder's chance-based damage ignore buff. It's a primarily useful option for units like Queen, who are powerful but have little protection.

Thanks to very early availability of this set's epic version, it serves as a tolerable throwaway option for melee units during early stages of progression.
