Cripple
"Each time an enemy is hit by a Unit with Cripple it loses one max health."
Cripple reduces the effect of Healing abilities and CANNOT be Cleansed
Remarkable Interactions
- Cripple remains after the unit wielding it dies.
- Cripple can stack, but can not cause max health to reduce to 0.
- When a card previously struck by Cripple is Rebirthed or Resurrected, it will return to life cleared of the reduction in max health.
- After the update on 9-20-2022, Cripple is no longer able to be cleansed.
- Life Leech works with Cripple. As the damage done with Cripple impacts the health stat, Units with Life Leech will gain health from the initial attack (if it strikes armor or Divine Shield). See Merdhampir - Level 4 for a unit with both Cripple and Life Leech
Notable Rulesets
- Healed Out - All healing abilities are removed. Utilizing Cripple within this ruleset prevents your opponent from regaining ground lost - allowing you to continuously chip away at their main health stat.
- Equalizer - prevent your opponent from utilizing their max health. This is especially useful when all opponents start with high health and are protected by armor.
Notable Abilities
- Weaken - Reduces the health of all enemy units. Speed your opponent towards their demise more swiftly by using both weaken and Cripple.
- Immunity - If your opponent plays a unit with Immunity, be aware that negative status effects will not impact it. This includes Cripple.
