Greetings pals!

I have a question. Is it possible to create item/spell (whatever) ability, which won't buff both types of attack of unit? Some units have two types of attacks, f. e. one against melee, second against air. I need to buff only one of these. Can it be done?

do you mean a unit targetting ability which gives a debuff to an enemy, which increases one of your attack types' damage; or a passive ability which generally gives bonus damage to your attack type ?

Passive ability which generally gives bonus damage to your attack type.

You can detect when a unit is a land/Air unit Then add the buff.
The problem is, both types of attack will be anti-ground units.

You can use a custom Command or Trueshot aura to provide bonus damage to a unit's melee or ranged attack. Maybe use a Envenomed Spear based ability and filter out the types of units you don't want to target (Ground, Organic, etc). Otherwise you're better off using a DDS.
