Scattershot

Scattershot

"Ranged and Magic attacks hit a random enemy target."

Scattershot can target Camouflaged Units and is not influenced by Taunt

Remarkable Interactions

1. Scattershot takes precedence even when Sneak, Snipe, and Opportunity are in play. Check the Ruleset and Targeting Interactions article for more details.

Notable Rulesets

1. Fog of War: With Sneak, Snipe, and Opportunity unusable, consider placing a Unit with Scattershot in your backline to target the opposing team's backline. Soothed by the assumption that backline Units are untouchable, your opponent may place high-attack, low-health Units away from perceived harm. 
2. Unprotected: All armor is removed within this ruleset. This makes your ranged Scattershot attacks all the more impactful - able to effectively reduce the health of opposing Units. 
3. Back to Basics: Units lose all abilities. A ruleset such as this is prime Conqueror Jacek territory. Throw off your opponent by targeting random Unit! This is especially impactful as they may front load their lineup with strong melee Units, and leave the back line to low-health ranged and magic attack Units. 

Notable Abilities

1. Blast - Scattershot and blast make a phenomenal pair, particularly when scattershot lands in the back line - damaging two adjacent Units rather than one. 
2. Camouflage - If your opponent plays a Unit with Camouflage, they may assume that they are immune to attacks. And they are, except for Scattershot, Blast damage, and Retaliatory attacks (Retaliate, Return Fire, Magic Reflect, Thorns).

Summoners with Scattershot:

Conqueror Jacek gives +2 speed, Scattershot, and Piercing to all friendly Units. Combined with ranged Units equipped with blast, he can help to devastate your opponent's backline and render armor useless.
