Strengthen

Strengthen

"+1 max health to all allied units."

Strengthen Stacks and can be Dispelled

Remarkable Interactions

1. Strengthen stacks with Summoners that increase health and other Units with Strengthen.
2. Consider rounding out your team with other Units that increase your stats - Swiftness, Protect, Inspire. 
3. Strengthen dies with the Unit wielding it.

Notable Rulesets

1. Equalizer: Though all Units start with the same max health, you can increase it with Strengthen.
2. Healed Out: As no healing is allowed within this ruleset, that extra point of health may make all the difference between victory and defeat!
3. Target Practice: All magic and ranged Units possess the Snipe ability. Ensure that your Unit with Strengthen is well protected against the onslaught!

Notable Abilities

1. Weaken - Reduces the health of all enemy Units. When played by you, increase the health gap between you and your opponent. When played by your opponent, this is the perfect counter to Strengthen.
2. Cripple - Each time a Unit is struck with Criple, they lose 1 point of max health. Your efforts to strengthen your Units will still be beneficial, but may ultimately fail. 
3. Heal/Tank Heal - any ability that assists in maintaining health - especially with the extra health granted by Strengthen  - will extend the life of your Unit.
