Notable Modifiers

1. Up Close and Personal: With only melee Units allowed to battle, increased speed may be the edge you need to defeat your opponent!
2. Reverse Speed: Units with lower speeds will attack before Units with higher speeds. Avoid using Swiftness as it gives your opponent an edge!
3. Super Sneak: Force your opponent to focus on the last Unit on your team - If you use a high-speed Unit with Dodge or Flying, adding Swiftness increases the odds that those attacks will miss. 

Notable Abilities

1. Slow - reduces the speed of all enemy Units. When combined with Swiftness, you have a higher chance of attacking first and evading enemy attacks.
2. Backfire - If an enemy misses this Unit with an attack, the attacker takes 2 damage.
3. Flying - has an increased chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks from non-Flying Units.
