I'm trying to think of ways to break this thing...
Soul sphere doesn't... exactly work with split. They have to attack the "splitting" champion to make him split....
Is there any other abilities in the game that could really break this guy fast?

There is no way to abuse the split ability that is currently in the game. Believe me, I've tried to abuse sunderpedes to no end.
That said, you can still do some fun stuff with them, and in an IS/SL split sunderpedes can become very nasty on large levels. (Dheal, heal mass, spell protection, equipment, etc)
Definitely not viable, but these buggers might make it so.

I would think you should focus more on the swarm side of things and then split will simply become an added extra.
Maybe if you level them to hell then mirror them? Forest dragon's healing breath would also be nice.

Yeah, but the swarm stuff is less good than it seems. After all, only the original retains the swarm ability (since swarmed champs have base stats, and swarm is an upgrade).

I know. But it has split which alone will mean it will become annoying to deal with.
Maybe in a FW/IS lockdown deck to reduce the number of attacks avalaible xD

I'm still thinking IS/FS
You have premonition, and soul sphere + D heal, and then repair and back fire.
I think it will work, Ill give it a shot after expansion.

Maybe IS/SL with battle fatigue and forbitten fruit (with impervious)?

It has replicate so...
KF/IS trucelock! Could see it working depending on cost. Lack of spell protection could be an issue though. Maybe something with DD...

Since I run exactly this I'll probably give it a try. Eth priestess is gonna have awesome syngery with these bugers as well I think.
As to KF/IS trucelock, I think this could be great. Its ashame that the IS anti spell stuff all affects you as well.

i dunno why but battle fatigue popped into my head. if you outnumber them, and run quick/db...
just a thought, i doubt it'll become much of anything
