What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened
Based on the wording of the text, where damage is dealt first, the expectation is that damage is dealt, and then the stats are stolen and gained. However, the stats get stolen and gained first, altering the damage dealt.
A comparable troop would be Suna, who steals the life expected prior to gaining the magic that she stole.
Between those two troops, there needs to be some change either in wording or in behavior, in order to get them to line up and perform as expected.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Every time
Steps to make it happen again
Cast Caprinicus’s spell
Maybe because she steals magic from the strongest enemies, while she steals life from the weakest that are the ones who can die…
Caprinicus’ spell, as it’s worded, could simply kill the enemy and then when he would try to steal Attack, but then there’s nothing to steal from, so better change the wording but leaving the effect order just like it is.
Okay. I think it could be redesigned to be clearer and more in line with other troops like Suna, who is capable of killing a troop while still stealing it’s magic (perhaps she’s a bug though?) without first gaining the magic, but thank you for the reply.
Ummm sorry but I found that article just confusing. It’s deliberate that the spell works differently to how it’s written? And if the target dies the magic steal doesn’t happen but it means that if the target dies you get the full benefit of the spell?
