Stun

Stun

"50% chance to apply Stunned for one round after a successful attack. Stunned units skip their turn and cannot Retaliate."

A Unit must be Stunned for Knock Out to trigger

Remarkable Interactions

1. A Unit will remain stunned until right before the Unit that applied the stun, takes its turn in the subsequent round.
   • Let’s say Unit A Stuns Unit B. The Stun on Unit B will last until Unit A takes its next turn. At the very start of A’s next turn, Unit B will become un-Stunned, and the battle will proceed accordingly.

Notable Modifiers

1. Heavy Hitters: All Units gain the Knock Out ability. Consider adding multiple Units with Stun to ensure the Knock Out ability is triggered.
2. What Doesn't Kill You: With increased melee and speed when damaged, stunning your opponent's Units will prevent them from attacking your team. 
3. Briar Patch/Counterspell/Fire & Regret: Thorns, Magic Reflect, and Return Fire all require an attack to damage your opponent. Consider whether Stunning your opponent prevents them from taking actions that would harm them in the end. 

Notable Abilities

1. Knock Out - Does double damage when attacking an enemy that is stunned.
2. Cleanse - Stun can be cleansed. Be sure to include a Unit with Snipe on your team to pick off those pesky Cleansing Units. 
3. Affliction - Add insult to injury by preventing your opponent from attacking AND healing.
