It sounds like you might be confusing debuffs here. Web reduces the Magic stat of the troop to 0, Silence prevents the troop from collecting mana and casting its spell. Dragonette applies several random debuffs, among others Web and Silence.
Yeah, as @fourdottwo says, “Web” does not make a troop lose magic (that would be mana drain) or lose their special move (that would be silence, though technically silence doesn’t make a troop lose it’s special move, it just makes it unusable for the time being).
Dragonette is a tricky troop, as it doles out a random number of debuffs. My guess is that at some point you had an enemy troop that was both webbed and silenced and that is where the confusion is coming in.
Try to use a troop that can only Web, and see what happens.
I definitely understand what you are saying. I am going to have to pay more attention to an exact story quest.
However, I can say that when they first introduced Web to me the Enemy Troop would Web me and it would literally drain all my saved mana/magic to Zero. If my troop had a special ready to cast, it would also get rid of that and drop my mana/magic to zero.
I am currently on Quest 19/29 in Zhul’Kari and I can say within the last 10 quests I have experience the described above.
If Web is not suppose to drain mana/magic then I may have to recommend starting somewhere in Zhul to look into this as it is frustrating to have all of this drained, especially if there is no Status Effect that does this.
Sounds good
Feel free to close this. If I notice something similar in the future outside of Spider Queen and/or another that may possess this skill, I’ll go ahead and file another bug. Hopefully with a little more detail and accuracy.
