Pacifism

Systemic 1-2 Turns

Enforced non-aggression that prevents hostile actions. Target cannot attack or use offensive abilities, forcing alternative strategies.

Mechanics

How It Works

Target cannot attack or use damage abilities
Can still move, defend, and use support abilities
Doesn't prevent counter-attacks (reactive)
Target maintains full control otherwise

Duration & Stacking

Lasts 1-2 turns depending on ability level
Does not stack - reapplication refreshes duration
Duration reduces at end of affected unit's turn

Strategic Uses

Threat neutralization: Disable enemy damage dealer
Safe engagement: Approach dangerous enemy safely
Time buying: Delay enemy assault

Interactions

Strong Against

Pure damage dealers: Berserker, Pyromancer become useless
Single-threat teams: Pacify the carry, kill the rest
Low AP units: Waste entire turn doing nothing useful

Counters

Support units: Bard, Paladin can still buff/heal
Purifying Light: Removes Pacifism debuff
Positioning: Can still move into better position
