Every ally the Monk's arrow flies past — on its shots and counter-shots, hit or miss — rolls to shed a negative effect: the first at 20% per stack power (100% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck, each further one on the same ally at half the previous chance, rolled separately. Every status effect (Stun, Freeze, Blindness, Paralysis, Break, Aggr, Boar Saliva, Shatter Armor, Terrifying Gaze, Pegasus Light, Deep Wounds, Poison) goes before spell debuffs; aura penalties and cursed-artifact downsides can't be lifted.

Covers allies within 2 cells, the Peasant included. When an enemy spell debuff, a Spit Ball debuff or Hamstring lands on one of them, the Peasant has 10% per stack power (50% at full stack, shifted by luck) to take it instead. On-hit effects — Stun, Blindness, Freeze, Paralysis, Aggr, Poison — and the Vine Throw snare are never absorbed, and an absorbed Hamstring does nothing (the Peasant doesn't fly). An absorbed Castling swaps the Harpy with the Peasant.

Every landed melee hit — attack or retaliation — has 10% per stack power (50% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck, lowered by the target's mind resistance, to Aggr it until the end of its next turn: it may attack, shoot or cast spells at enemies only at this Pikeman (buffs and heals on its allies stay free), and retaliate only against it. It ends early if the Pikeman dies, isn't reapplied while active, and Madness and Mechanism units are immune.

The owner never controls this stack: on its turn it charges the nearest enemy it can reach and never attacks the mountain; boxed in, it waits once, then defends. While it is Broken, its owner controls it.

While this Angel is alive and not Broken, every allied flying unit — the Angel included — gets +1 attack, +1 armor and +1 movement. Walking units get nothing.

While a Squire lives and isn't Broken, every ally gets an extra magic-resistance roll of (10 + the Squire's luck)%, combined with its own resistance as independent chances (15% own + 10% → 23.5%). Stack size doesn't change it, and several Squires don't stack — the strongest counts.

The boulder flies over your own units and structures, lands on the first enemy in its flight path (or on the empty cell you aim at) and hits every unit in the 3×3 block around it — the target, other enemies and your own units — each for (100 + luck)% of a normal hit with its own dodge roll; stack power does not scale it. It smashes barrels in the block. Only a throw aimed at a unit can be answered: the target shoots back once the boulder's damage has landed (on the Gargantuan, before its second boulder). An Angel with Arrows Wingshield Blessing that the boulder lands on takes it alone — and so does one standing anywhere in the block of a throw aimed at an empty cell or a barrel, even your own.

While the Angel lives and isn't Broken, every ally gets extra armor against shots: 5% per Angel stack power (25% at full stack), multiplied by (1 + the Angel's luck / 100); +25% armor means about 20% less damage from shots. The Angel also stops piercing shots: a Through Shot that reaches it hits it and stops, Large Caliber and Area Throw landing on it don't splash, and a Chakram can't bounce onto it — the flight ends there (a throw aimed at the Angel hits it and bounces on). Several Angels don't stack.

+5% damage per stack power (+25% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck on melee attacks and retaliations when the Scavenger stands beyond its target along the line of advance — on the side nearer the target army's starting edge, diagonals included. Second strikes don't get it.

Spell book: Fire Strike ×3 and Meteorite ×1 per fight; Meteorite needs a full stack (stack power 5, measured against the strongest stack on the board — an enemy stack grown by Life's Supply synergy at level 3 can take it away). A damage spell deals its power per creature alive in the casting stack — stack power only decides whether it can be cast.

Once per fight, at stack power 3 or more: for 2 laps (the casting Behemoth included) every ally — except units with 100% magic resistance or already roaring — gets +1 movement per Behemoth alive in the casting stack and always rolls maximum damage — even when Cursed; Quagmire and Hamstrung cut the extra steps like any movement.

Whenever a single hit kills at least one Peasant and the stack survives, the stack permanently gains +1 base armor and +1 movement — once per hit, however many Peasants it killed. A hit that kills nobody gives nothing.

Craft, once per fight at stack power 4+: every ally in the chosen 2×2 block, the Blacksmith included, gets one outcome — a second attack 40%, a frozen weapon (10 + luck)%, stunned (10 − luck)%, nothing 40% (stun and frozen stay within 0–20%, using the Blacksmith's luck). A unit with arrows left gets the Shot/Bow versions. A second attack or a frozen weapon lasts the whole fight, a stun one turn; a unit that already strikes twice gains nothing from a second attack, and the Craft stun ignores status and magic resistance. Stack power only gates the cast.

Attack grows with the stack's losses: + (dead ÷ (alive + dead)) × base attack, so a stack that has lost half its creatures attacks at +50%. Revived creatures lower it again. Stack power and luck don't change it.

Every landed melee hit — attack or retaliation — has 5% per stack power (25% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck, lowered by mind resistance, to blind the target: it skips its next 2 turns and cannot retaliate, and taking damage doesn't wake it. Madness and Mechanism units are immune.

Every landed melee hit applies Boar Saliva without a roll unless the target already has it (mind resistance can shrug it off; Madness and Mechanism are immune). For 3 laps the target misses 6% of its melee attacks, shots and retaliations per Boar stack power (30% at full stack, shifted by luck), rolled separately from other miss chances — against a full Fairy stack (Small Specie, 50% against level 4 creatures, the 2x2 giants) a slobbered Behemoth misses 1 − 0.7 × 0.5 = 65% of the time.

Spell book: Smoke ×1 (stack power 4+), Misfortune ×1, Fireforged Sword ×2 and Fireball ×1 (stack power 3+).

Spell book: Heal ×4, Spiritual Armor ×2, Blessing ×2 (stack power 3+) and Mass Heal ×3 (stack power 3+). Healing grows with Healers alive, not with stack power.

Spell book: Fire Wall ×1 (stack power 4+) and Empower ×1.

Each creature's max health is multiplied by 1 + 10% per stack power (+50% at full stack, shifted by luck). It follows the current stack power, so losses shrink it.

Each landed shot or counter-shot against a surviving target can copy one random buff — any spell buff (permanent runes included), Made of Fire and the like; never an aura, an army blessing, Water Shield, an artifact or an augment — and wear that copy for its remaining duration. The target keeps the original. Dodged or fully shielded shots copy nothing. The base chance is 20% at stack power 1, +12.5% per further stack power (70% at full stack). Made of Fire boosts this base chance by 10%; luck and Might's ability-power bonus are added afterwards, capped at 100%. Every landed extra arrow or pierced, splash or bouncing hit gets its own roll.

Once per fight, at stack power 4+, while the Harpy can move: swaps places with an enemy of exactly the same footprint standing on a cell the Harpy could reach. The target's magic resistance can make it fail (the charge and the turn are still spent), and a Peasant's Absorb Penalties can redirect it.

After each landed melee hit — attack or retaliation — the struck enemy takes an extra Air hit of 80% of that hit at full stack (shifted by luck), then the bolt jumps to touching enemies for 70%, 60% and 50%, each enemy once (16/14/12/10% at stack power 1). Each jump is cut by magic resistance and element — Earth Elements take ×1.5, a Wind Element takes nothing and stops the chain — Heavy Armor takes extra, and 100%-magic-resistance units are skipped and don't relay it. It can't be dodged and Flesh Shield never absorbs the arcs, though they are priced from the hit after Flesh Shield took its share (a fully absorbed hit fires none); magic-damage bonuses such as Empower raise it, and a Double Punch second strike doesn't fire it.

The disc can hit one enemy per point of stack power (5 at full stack), the chosen target included, each for (100% + luck) × stack power / 5 of a normal hit. From each enemy it hits it turns clockwise from its direction of flight to the first enemy one or two empty cells away — touching units and blocked gaps don't count: across a one-cell gap it keeps full damage, across a two-cell gap it deals half and the flight ends. A dodge ends it too; every enemy is hit at most once, allies never, and an Angel with Arrows Wingshield Blessing stops it. Counter-throws bounce as well.

Permanent (forged by Craft). After the target's retaliation the unit strikes again for 20% per stack power (100% at full stack, shifted by luck), with its own dodge roll and on-hit effects. Dual Strike Charm makes the second strike +50%.

Permanent (forged by Craft). On its own shots (not its counter-shots), after the target's counter-shot if there is one, the unit fires a second arrow for 20% per stack power (100% at full stack, shifted by luck), spending another arrow, with its own dodge roll; if the first arrow killed the stack it hit, the second flies on to the next enemy before the stack you aimed at — none if that was the aimed stack. On a Cyclops or Zena the second shot is a whole second blast or disc throw. Dual Strike Charm makes the second shot +50%.

Permanent (forged by Craft). Every hit this unit lands — attacks and retaliations, melee or ranged, second strikes and splash or spin sub-hits — has 6% per stack power (30% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck, ×1.5 against Mechanism and lowered by status resistance, to Freeze the target: it skips its next 2 turns and cannot retaliate. Magic resistance does not block it.

Permanent (forged by Craft). Every hit this unit lands — attacks and retaliations, melee or ranged, second strikes and splash or spin sub-hits — has 6% per stack power (30% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck, ×1.5 against Mechanism and lowered by status resistance, to Freeze the target: it skips its next 2 turns and cannot retaliate. Magic resistance does not block it.

Every cell the Champion walks — the approach of an attack included — permanently adds 0.1 per stack power (0.5 at full stack) to both its base attack and base armor, each capped at 50; the per-cell gain is rounded to 0.1, so luck only adds 0.1 at +10.

Every landed melee hit — attack, retaliation, second strike or spin — adds 1.2 per stack power (6 at full stack) plus 1 per point of luck to the target's wounds, with no roll and no resistance. Wounds from every source add up without a cap and last the target's next 3 turns, refreshed by each new wound. Any attacker holding a Deep Wounds card deals that many percent more damage to the wounded target (Lightning Spin hits excepted), so a Deep Wounds army that focuses one stack snowballs; shots benefit but never add wounds. Wounding Charm's Level 1 adds to a higher native level (Griffin, Manticore, White Tiger, Behemoth); a Wolf, already Level 1, gains nothing from it.

Every landed melee hit — attack, retaliation, second strike or spin — adds 2.6 per stack power (13 at full stack) plus 1 per point of luck to the target's wounds, with no roll and no resistance. Wounds from every source add up without a cap and last the target's next 3 turns, refreshed by each new wound. Any attacker holding a Deep Wounds card deals that many percent more damage to the wounded target (Lightning Spin hits excepted), so a Deep Wounds army that focuses one stack snowballs; shots benefit but never add wounds. Wounding Charm's Level 1 adds to a higher native level (Griffin, Manticore, White Tiger, Behemoth); a Wolf, already Level 1, gains nothing from it.

Every landed melee hit — attack, retaliation, second strike or spin — adds 4.2 per stack power (21 at full stack) plus 1 per point of luck to the target's wounds, with no roll and no resistance. Wounds from every source add up without a cap and last the target's next 3 turns, refreshed by each new wound. Any attacker holding a Deep Wounds card deals that many percent more damage to the wounded target (Lightning Spin hits excepted), so a Deep Wounds army that focuses one stack snowballs; shots benefit but never add wounds. Wounding Charm's Level 1 adds to a higher native level (Griffin, Manticore, White Tiger, Behemoth); a Wolf, already Level 1, gains nothing from it.

Every enemy shot aimed at this unit spends 2 arrows instead of one — except a Tsar Cannon's Through Shot, which always costs one.

When the Hydra's attack or retaliation (Lightning Spin included) destroys a whole enemy stack — one that will raise itself (an Angel with its Resurrection charge) doesn't count, as with Infest — its front Hydra is topped up to 20% of one Hydra's max health per stack power (full health at stack power 5, shifted by luck) — nothing if it is already above that. Dead Hydras stay dead.

While no enemy stack stands within 3 cells, the White Tiger is Hidden: it can't be chosen as the target of attacks, shots or single-target spells. Splash, area spells, chain arcs, bounces and shots passing through still hit it. An enemy within range makes it Visible again; Might's Aura Range synergy widens that radius too.

4% per stack power (20% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck to dodge every physical hit — melee, shots, retaliations, second strikes and splash. Magic can't be dodged.

Only when attacking: after the target's retaliation the unit strikes a second time for 20% per stack power (100% at full stack, shifted by luck), with its own dodge roll and on-hit effects. It is skipped if the retaliation stunned, blinded or froze the attacker, or the target died. A One in the Field target retaliates against the second strike too. Dual Strike Charm makes the second strike +50%.

On its own shots (not its counter-shots), after the target's counter-shot if there is one, the Elf fires a second arrow for 20% per stack power (100% at full stack, shifted by luck), spending another arrow, with its own dodge roll; a stun, freeze or blindness from that counter-shot cancels it. If the first arrow killed the stack it hit, the second flies on to the next enemy before the stack you aimed at — none if that was the aimed stack. Barrels in the way: the two projectiles clear up to two of them for one arrow, and with one barrel the second still reaches the target. Dual Strike Charm makes the second shot +50%.

After the first boulder (and the target's counter-shot, if any) a second full Area Throw lands on the same stack: (100 + luck)% of a normal hit, not scaled by stack power, with fresh dodge rolls. It isn't thrown if the first boulder killed the stack it was aimed at, and if that stack dodges it, the whole second boulder is lost. Each boulder costs a shot. Dual Strike Charm makes the second boulder +50%, splash included.

The Goblin Knight's own melee attack and its retaliation each permanently lower the struck unit's base attack by 2 (never below 1). A hit on the knight that he does not answer does nothing. A second strike, Skewer Strike or Lightning Spin counts only when he is the one swinging. Stack power doesn't change the amount.

Immune to Earth magic: Meteorite and Meteor Shower deal it nothing. Takes 50% more from Air: Thunderbird's attacks, Chain Lightning and Lightning Strike. Its own attacks deal 50% more to Wind Elements.

100% magic resistance: immune to every spell from either side — buffs, heals and mass spells skip it too, though a Blacksmith's Craft still reaches it — to magic damage (Chain Lightning, Fire Breath, Fire Shield, Fireforged burns, Fire Wall) and to Rime Charm's slow. It does not stop on-hit effects (Stun, Blindness, Paralysis, Petrifying Gaze, Break), auras or blessings, and the stack can still be resurrected. Break takes it away for 2 laps, leaving only the unit's own magic resistance.

Spell book: 5 Armor Rune and 5 Weapon Rune casts per fight, on any ally or on itself. Each cast has a 50% chance to add a permanent +1 armor or +1 attack; a failed cast still uses the turn.

Never runs out of arrows.

Each melee attack or retaliation also burns whoever stands directly behind the target on the line of the strike, friend or foe (1 cell behind a 1×1 target, 2 behind a 2×2), for 20% per stack power (100% at full stack, shifted by luck) of the Dragon's melee damage against them — their armor applies — cut by their magic resistance. Fire Elements and 100%-magic-resistance units take nothing and block it. It passes through a Water Shield without breaking it. It fires even if the main blow is dodged, and magic-damage bonuses raise it. Because it is priced from the Dragon's melee damage, attack bonuses raise it too — the Might augment, attack auras and attack artifacts.

Immune to fire: Fire Strike, Fireball, Ring of Fire, Fire Wall, Fireforged burns, Fire Breath and Fire Shield deal it nothing, and enemy fire spells can't target it. Takes 50% more from Water Element attacks. Its own attacks deal 50% more to Water Elements and pass through a Water Shield without breaking it.

Every landed melee hit on the Efreet — second strikes, spin hits and retaliations against its own attacks included, but not a Skewer Strike's pierce — burns the striker for 8% per stack power (40% at full stack, shifted by luck) of the damage dealt, rounded up, as fire magic cut by the striker's magic resistance; Fire Elements take nothing. It passes through a Water Shield without breaking it. Shots and dodged hits don't trigger it, and magic-damage bonuses raise it.

Allies within 2 cells (not the Abomination itself) have 18% per stack power (90% at full stack, shifted by luck) of each physical hit moved onto the Abomination, re-priced against its armor and capped at the Abomination's remaining health — the rest stays on the ally, and absorbing can finish the Abomination off. Spells and magic damage are never absorbed, and only weapon hits are moved — attacks, retaliations, shots, splash, Lightning Spin and Skewer Strike hits; Armageddon, poison and Fire Wall burns land on the ally itself. Petrifying Gaze is priced from the full hit before the aura takes its share, so its extra kills and petrify roll still land on the ally. A hit the ally's own Water Shield will absorb isn't shared at all, and the share the Abomination takes never rolls Break on it.

Spell book: Courage ×3, Helping Hand ×1 (stack power 4+) and Summon Wolves ×2.

Ranged allies within 2 cells, the Dryad included, shoot 5% farther per stack power (25% at full stack, shifted by luck; never more than 35%). Falloff bands are counted in whole cells, so the bonus only helps once it adds a whole cell (a stack-power-1 Dryad's 6.5 → 6.8 gains nothing); then it widens every band.

Only on the Dryad's own attacks: 8% per stack power (40% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck to Hamstring a flying target — −30% movement for its next 3 turns. Magic resistance can resist it, a Peasant's Absorb Penalties can take it (where it does nothing — the Peasant doesn't fly), Magic Mirror can reflect it, and it isn't reapplied while active. With Quagmire (Rime Charm, Spit Ball) the slows multiply: ×0.7 × 0.75 = ×0.525 movement.

This shooter's melee hits — attacks and retaliations — deal full damage instead of half.

+10% base armor per stack power (+50% at full stack, shifted by luck). The same percentage is added to all magic damage it takes — damage spells, Fire Wall, Fireforged burns, Chain Lightning, Fire Breath and Fire Shield.

Any vined cell — from either side's Vine Throw — costs the Trent no steps, straight or diagonal. An enemy vine it stops on can still snare it.

When this unit's attack or retaliation wipes out the stack it fought, a one-creature Arachna Spider (from a level 1–3 victim) or Arachna Queen (from a level 4 victim) appears on your side, if there is room. A stack that resurrects (Angel) isn't wiped out, so it gives nothing — killing it again after its Resurrection is spent does.

Every unit in the 3×3 block around the landing cell — the target, other enemies and your own units — takes 20% per stack power (100% at full stack, shifted by luck) of a normal shot, each with its own dodge roll. The shell flies over structures and smashes barrels in the block; a target that can shoot answers after all the damage lands.

Every attack and retaliation strikes all enemies touching the Hydra — except a Manticore whose Terrifying Gaze has frightened it — each with its own dodge roll, and the Hydra's attacks can't be answered while it isn't Broken.

The quiver holds only its full size × stack power / 5 arrows, rounded down — 2/4/6/8/10 of the Arbalester's 10 at stack power 1–5 — plus any Rallying Volley Blessing arrows; arrows above a lowered cap are lost for good.

Allies within 2 cells, the Leprechaun included, have their luck fixed at +10 instead of the lap roll; Misfortune drops them to 0. +10 luck means about 10% less attack damage taken and +10 points on the stack's ability chances. The aura doesn't depend on stack power, so a split Leprechaun projects it at full strength around both halves (the same aura doesn't add up on a cell), though its own Lucky Strike weakens with the split.

Every hit — shots, retaliations, second strikes, splash and spin hits — has 8% per stack power plus 1% per point of luck to deal 8% per stack power plus 1% per point of luck more damage: 40% for +40% at full stack.

On the FIRE PIT map this creature may cross and stand in the central lava (other walkers can't enter it; other flyers can fly over it but can't end a move there, and gain nothing from it). Any move whose path touches lava — starting in it, crossing it or ending in it — gives Made of Fire for 2 laps: +10% max health, attack, armor, movement, initiative, shot range and magic resistance, and its abilities work at 110% of their power. It isn't refreshed while active, standing still in lava does nothing, and the pool dries into normal ground at the start of lap 10 (earlier when stalled laps add extra rings).

Immune to Mind abilities and spells — Blindness, Aggr, Boar Saliva, Terrifying and Petrifying Gaze, Courage, Sadness, Misfortune, Rangebane, Cowardice. Its morale is always 0, so it never gets Morale or Dismorale.

Each hostile spell that lands on the dragon has 15% per stack power (75% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck to rebound. The dragon still takes the whole spell. A rebounded damage spell hits the caster for that same percentage of the damage the dragon took, reduced by the caster's own element and magic resistance; a rebounded debuff (a spell, Spit Ball or Hamstring) lands on the caster as well. Magic damage from abilities — Fire Breath, Chain Lightning, Fire Shield, Fireforged Sword — isn't reflected. A Magic Mirror on the dragon doesn't add to it: a damage spell returns Reflection's share when it procs and the Mirror's otherwise, a debuff is copied at the higher of the two chances, and only the Mirror returns ability magic damage.

Adds 10% magic resistance per stack power (50% at full stack, shifted by luck), combined with the unit's own as a separate roll: 15% own + 50% → 57.5%. It lowers magic damage and the chance that debuff spells land — Hamstring and the Vine Throw snare included, which roll against magic resistance too — but does nothing against Stun, Freeze, Paralysis, Blindness or the gazes. Off while Broken.

Immune to Mind abilities and spells and to poison; morale is always 0, so it never gets Morale or Dismorale. It can't be healed or resurrected. Status effects hit it harder: Stun and Freeze chances ×1.5, Paralysis and Shatter Armor 50% stronger. It takes 50% more damage from physical area and line attacks — Area Throw, Large Caliber, Chakram, Lightning Spin, Skewer Strike, Through Shot — which status resistance offsets point for point. With Amulet of Resolve both apply: an Orc's 35% Stun on a Tsar Cannon becomes 35 × 1.5 × 0.75 ≈ 39% (52.5% without the Amulet).

Each landed melee hit — retaliations included — permanently moves 0.2 base armor per stack power (1 at full stack, ±0.1 per point of luck) from the target to the Troglodyte. The target never drops below 1 base armor, and the Troglodyte gains only what was actually removed.

Has no melee attack and never retaliates against melee attacks. While an enemy stands next to it — so it cannot shoot — it cannot attack at all.

Retaliates against every melee attack it receives, with no once-per-lap limit. The usual blockers (Stun, Blindness, Freeze, Shadow Touch, Terrifying Gaze) still stop a retaliation, and it never answers shots. Every answer rolls the Unicorn's Blindness, so against a Double Punch it answers both strikes unless its first answer blinds the attacker, which cancels the second.

Each landed melee hit, retaliations included, has 20% per stack power (100% at full stack), plus 2% per point of luck and lowered by status resistance, to paralyse the target for 1 lap: it can't move, and its weapon hits — attacks, retaliations, shots, second strikes and splash — are cut by 8% per Mantis stack power (40% at full stack, shifted by luck; ×1.5 against Mechanism). Spells and Fire Breath keep full damage. It can still strike adjacent enemies, shoot, cast and retaliate. It doesn't stack or refresh. Might's Abilities power synergy adds its points to the cut: a full Mantis stack cuts 45% at level 1 and 48% at level 2 (level 3 is an all-Might army, with no room for a Nature Mantis) — its chance is already 100%.

Each landed melee hit, retaliations included, marks the enemy with Pegasus Light for 1 lap (not refreshed while marked). Every unit that lands a hit on a marked enemy gains +10 morale, plus 1 per point of the Pegasus's luck; units whose morale is locked (Madness, Mechanism, Courage, Sadness, Morale, Dismorale) gain nothing. Stack power doesn't change it.

Allies within 2 cells, the Pegasus included, get +2 base attack and +2 base armor.

Each melee hit and retaliation adds flat damage equal to 7% per stack power (35% at full stack; ±1% per point of luck) of ONE target creature's max health, after armor. It doesn't grow with either stack's size: +70 per bite against a 200-health Arachna Queen, only a couple of points against a Fairy.

Every landed hit — shots, counter-shots and melee — does two things. First, extra kills: a random ⅔ to all of 12% per stack power (60% at full stack, ±luck) of that hit's damage becomes whole creatures killed, never the last one. Then a petrify roll kills the front creature: at full stack 15% against level-1 targets, +4% per target level (27% against level 4); 3–15% at stack power 1; ranged falloff multiplies the roll by 0.75 per step, and mind resistance lowers it. Madness and Mechanism units are immune to both. Against big lone creatures the petrify roll does the work; against large stacks of small ones the extra kills do. A Flesh Shield Aura doesn't soften it: the gaze is priced from the full hit before the aura takes its share.

Ignores 10% of the target's armor per stack power (50% at full stack, shifted by luck) on every attack, shot and retaliation. Damage is divided by armor, so at full stack this roughly doubles damage against any target.

Each landed direct hit — a melee attack, retaliation, shot or counter-shot, not a second blow and not a unit the hit only splashes, pierces or skewers — has 5% per stack power (25% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck to take one random ability from the target that the Queen doesn't already have. The target loses it for the rest of the fight and the Queen uses it — with its aura and any remaining spell charges. The same hit poisons the target for 25% of the damage dealt (±1% per point of the attacker's luck), dealt again at the start of each of the victim's turns for the rest of the fight. The poison is not an aura, so allies nearby do not poison with it, and it stacks with Venom Cloud either way. Broken units can neither steal nor poison, and a stolen copy does both for whoever holds it.

Once per fight, every allied ranged unit gets +2 shots at any distance. This flat bonus is unaffected by stack power or Might's Aura Range synergy. Multiple carriers do not stack it, and spent shots aren't refilled.

Enemy shooters within 2 cells of the Griffin (more with Might's Aura Range synergy) can neither shoot nor return fire.

The melee attack deals +2% damage per stack power (+10% at full stack; ±1% per point of luck) for every cell of the charge, counting the cell it started from: at full stack a 2-cell move and strike is +30%, and a strike without moving +10%. It never goes below ×1 and doesn't apply to retaliation.

One use per fight, whichever comes first. (1) When the Angel stack is wiped out in combat, by Fire Wall or by the first Armageddon wave, half the fallen Angels (rounded down, at least 1) return at full health with all effects removed — not while Broken, and not after a death to poison, narrowing or a later Armageddon wave. (2) Cast on any allied stack with losses, itself included — never a Mechanism unit such as the Tsar Cannon — it restores health worth 1.5× the Angel stack's total max health (×1.25 on Morale, ×0.8 on Dismorale): the wounded creature first, then the dead, never more than died. Casting it gives up the self-resurrection. A stack that comes back isn't wiped out, so an enemy Infest gets nothing from it.

Its attacks are never answered: the target can't retaliate — unless it is Broken, which switches this off for 2 laps.

Allied non-ranged units — melee and magic, the Crusader included — within 2 cells get +3.6% base attack per stack power (+18% at full stack; ±1% per point of the Crusader's luck). Several Crusaders don't stack.

Each landed melee attack (not retaliation) lowers the target's armor by 1 per stack power (5 at full stack; ±1 per 10 luck; ×1.5 against Mechanism), with no resist roll. Hits add up, and each new hit resets the total to last 3 laps. Armor never drops below 1, and the lower armor helps every ally that hits that target.

When it strikes a one-cell target, the thrust carries on to the cell directly behind it — even if the main blow misses — and strikes the enemy standing there (of any size) with a separate hit — its own dodge roll — for 20% per stack power (100% at full stack), and the attacker's on-hit effects apply to it too. It never pierces past larger targets and never hits allies. It works on retaliation as well.

+1 movement per stack power (+5 at full stack; ±1 at ±10 luck).

Physical attacks from level 4 creatures — the 2x2 giants — miss this unit 10% of the time per stack power (50% at full stack; ±1% per point of the Fairy's luck) — melee, retaliation, shots and every splash or pierce hit. Smaller attackers, 2x1/1x2 rectangles included, are not dodged at all. It rolls separately from other dodge chances, so miss chances multiply: a Behemoth under a full Boar Saliva (30%) swinging at a full Fairy stack misses 1 − 0.7 × 0.5 = 65% of the time.

Its shots ignore range falloff entirely — full damage at any distance — though a shot that passes through Smoke is still halved.

After each landed shot, counter-shot or second shot, every listed debuff the target doesn't have rolls separately at 8% per stack power (40% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck; Rangebane is tried only against shooters. Each success must still pass the target's magic resistance, and Sadness, Rangebane and Cowardice (Mind) never land on Madness or Mechanism units. Curse, Sadness, Quagmire (−25% movement), Weakening Beam (−24% base armor) and Weakness (−30% base attack) last 3 laps; Rangebane and Cowardice 1 lap. Magic Mirror or Magic Reflection can bounce a debuff back onto the Beholder, and Absorb Penalties can take it.

Every landed hit — attack, retaliation, shot, counter-shot or second strike — has 7% per stack power (35% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck, ×1.5 against Mechanism and lowered by status resistance, to stun: the target skips its next turn and can't retaliate until then. An active stun is never extended. In melee the target has already retaliated against the stunning blow.

Allies within 2 cells of the Satyr, itself included, deal +15% magic damage, ±1% per point of the Satyr's luck (never below 0); stack size doesn't change it. It adds to Empower, the augment and the Mage's rings as one sum and raises spells, Fire Breath, Fire Shield, Chain Lightning and Fire Wall. Fireforged Sword is not raised. Several Satyrs don't stack.

Each of the Manticore's own landed melee attacks (not retaliations) has 12% per stack power (60% at full stack) plus 1% per point of luck, lowered by mind resistance, to frighten the target for 1 lap: it can't attack, shoot at or retaliate against this Manticore — a frightened Hydra's Lightning Spin passes it over too — but may attack anyone else, and spells aren't blocked. The target still retaliates against the frightening blow. Madness and Mechanism units are immune.

The shot flies on to the edge of the board and hits every enemy on the line — allies are passed over unharmed — each for (100 + luck)% of a normal hit, not scaled by stack power, with its own dodge roll and distance falloff; everything past a Smoke cloud is halved. The mountain stops it, and so does an Angel's Arrows Wingshield. Its shots are never answered, and the Tsar Cannon never returns fire.

Allied non-flying units within 2 cells, the Champion included, get +2 movement.

While a stack with Time Denial is alive and not Broken, no unit on either side can wait on the Hourglass.

Spell book: Whirlpool ×1 (stack power 3+), Lightning Strike ×4, Ring of Fire ×2 (stack power 4+) and Meteor Shower ×1 (full stack, stack power 5 — measured against the strongest stack on the board, so an enemy stack grown by Life's Supply synergy at level 3 can take it away) per fight. It can't cast while Broken; if the tome is stolen, its remaining charges go with it.

Spell book: Riot ×2, Magic Mirror ×2, Mass Riot ×1 and Mass Magic Mirror ×1 per fight; the Mass versions need stack power 4+.

Every lap from the first the Behemoth gains +1 movement, +2 base attack, +5 max health and +5 current health, for the rest of the fight. A lap spent under Break gives nothing (that gain is lost), and while Broken the extra max health is gone, so current health is cut down to fit.

Allies within 2 cells of the Wyvern, itself included, poison whatever they damage — attacks, retaliations, shots, second hits, pierced and skewered units: 20% of the damage dealt (±1% per point of the hitter's luck) is dealt again at the start of each of the victim's turns for the rest of the fight, ignoring armor and magic resistance. Poisoning an already poisoned unit adds half the new poison to its tick (or lifts the tick to the new value if that is higher): a 40 tick hit by a 30 poison becomes 40 + 15 = 55, by a 100 poison 100. Mechanism units are immune, and two poison auras don't stack. Arachna Queen's Predatory Assimilation poisons its own landed hits for 25% and stacks with this cloud.
