Defend Ability

[corley]

Is it possible to make the footman defend ability, reduce all incoming damage by 50% instead of only piercing. I have played about with all the fields but the unit still takes full damage. Or could anyone suggest an alternative defensive ability to look at. Thanks

make a dummy unit to cast spirit link.

Err, stop with all those dummy units.

Once a unit attacks the defended unit, copy the damage that was supposed to be dealt to the unit into a variable, and then remove the damage. Then, through trigger, make the attacking unit damage the defended unit- damage amount is the variable value- and attack type is piercing. Really complicated, also might be really stupid, but maybe- just maybe- useful.
