Giant Killer

Giant Killer

"Deals double damage if the target's Mana is 10 or more."

Standard damage to Units that cost 9 or less mana.

Remarkable Interactions

1. Your opponent's choice to play a Unit with 10+ mana cost and Taunt will ensure that your Giant Killing attacks are directed toward the correct target. 
2. Spy on your opponent's previously played teams to see whether they favor 10+ mana tanks. 
3. Blast damage applied to adjacent units is always 50% (rounded up) of the Unit's base attack damage done.
   • Modifiers such as Giant Killer, Knock Out, Oppress, and Recharge apply after the base Blast damage is calculated.

Notable Modifiers

1. Melee Mayhem - Melee Units can attack from any position. Place your Giant Killer in a protected location so that they survive long enough to deal maximum damage. 
2. What Doesn't Kill You - All Units are granted increased speed and melee attacks when damaged. Enrage paired with Giant Killer can allow you to deal an even more devastating blow!

Notable Abilities

1. Inspire - +1 to all melee attacks. This is particularly useful when combined with Giant Killer. 
2. Forcefield - Giant Killer will ignore Forcefield only if the base damage is less than 5.
   
   • Giant Killer is one of the modifiers applied after a Forcefield check is done on the base damage.
