Bloodlust

Bloodlust

"+1 to all stats after dealing a killing blow."

Bloodlust can be Dispelled

Remarkable Interactions

1. Take advantage of any Modifiers that allow melee units to attack from various positions - this keeps them out of the line of fire and could allow more opportunity for Bloodlust to take hold!
2. Bloodlust can be triggered by killing a unit with blast, thorns, magic reflect, return fire, retaliate, or poison. 
3. In the Reverse Speed Modifier, speed WILL increase when bloodlust is triggered. Weigh this when considering whether to include a unit with bloodlust in your lineup here. 
4. Review Common Teams: Strategies and Counters for tips about defeating units with bloodlust. 

Notable Modifiers

1. Melee Mayhem - Because melee units can attack from any position with this Modifier, your unit with bloodlust unit can be placed in a protected position granting it the opportunity to attack without being at as high of a risk for attack.
2. Explosive Weaponry - If your bloodlust unit kills an adjacent unit with blast, the ability will trigger. Some special circumstances will create a 2-for-1 effect.

Notable Abilities

1. Piercing - Allow your unit to pierce through your opponent's shield and attack the main health. With the increased attack, piercing may be the difference between defeating an enemy unit with one vs two strikes.  
2. Forcefield - when played by your opponent, their unit takes only 1 damage from attacks with power 5+. This can be a foil to bloodlust once triggered. 

No Archons that grant Bloodlust exist

However, Archons with the Conscript ability can add 1 additional Gladiator card to your lineup. Within Brawls, up to 2 gladiator cards may be used. Within Ranked battles, 1 Gladiator card may be used.
