Hi all,
Just want to get an opinion on what the correct behaviour should be in this case in battle .
In this example, I'm fighting with some stacks of Treant IIs, plus Sorceresses.
Assume that Round 1 was just units moving around, not important for this question .
End of round 2: Sorceresses (going last due to Initiative) get their attack, let's say they "zap" a stack of Knights, giving them the -60% "broken valor" debuff (i.e. -60% to their attack until the end of the next round).
Start of round 3: Treants have the next highest Initiative, so they can attack the Knights. The first Treant hits the Knights, and the debuff gets replaced by the "daze" debuff - -20% to their attack until the end of this round.
Next, the Knights get their attack, at -20%.
Round 3 ends, and if I ignore the stack of Knights that was attacked in round 3, their next attack has 0% penalty - i.e. the 20% debuff expired, and the -60% was completely lost.
So, what's the correct behaviour here :
1. Just as it is - I should just target a different opponent with the Sorceresses.
2. The "higher" debuff should stay in effect, i.e. if hit by -60% and then -20%, it should stay at -60% (especially since the -60% lasts a bit longer).
3. The debuffs should "stack" - i.e. should be -80% for the rest of the round.
4. Something else, which everyone will explain in replies ?
