Hah steal six Mana from Towers that are immune to Drain. Bold strategy Cotton let’s see if it pays off! ---

Do you still get the mana if the tower is immune to draining? Does the tower just not lose his mana, but the invasion troop gains it still? Otherwise that is kind of odd to put on an invasion specific troop. ---

Glad to see more troops that will work great with Infernus, he needs it. ---

that would be great. My best bet is that the boost ratio is x 1, I hope its x 2. ---

I thought the same thing, seeing as Vanguard was recently released and sort of similar, but Nightmare is a common. If it’s a x2 ratio, this might be a useful troop, but if it’s something like 1:1 or even 2:1, count me out. ---

If it’s magic dont scale or scale only 1/2 its a big chance its an x 2 boost ratio. Many troops are immune to burning as well, so x 1 boost ratio will be sad. ---

That’s a good point, I didn’t think about it’s spell’s variable potentially being influenced by scaling magic. ---

Hmmm… New weapon: not convinced that this will hit hard enough to be worth using over Mang and the mangclones… and yes, yet another one whose ‘upgrades’ make it riskier to use… Sir Mordayne: ha yes, mana drain on a tower-killer when towers are immune to it… how very droll… Nightmare: waste of a very cool concept: if 4 enemies are burning, this makes 13 red gems, which is strong… enough to be almost reliable… but given how many enemies are immune to burn - and you’d need, what, Infernus, to be sure they’re all burning… 3 enemies burning, 11 gems - unreliable, wouldn’t see myself casting, ever… and this is yellow so clashes mana with Infernus… just why would anyone fancy casting it: given Hellcat is also yellow, and a daemon-beast from the same kingdom… ---

It says “steal” on Mordayne … is that not different than mana drain? [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/nightmare-moon/44302.md?page=2)
