Mechanics
How It Works
- Grants +1 STR to nearby allies
- Affects units within 2 tiles of Warlord
- Passive effect - always active while Warlord lives
- STR bonus increases physical damage dealt
Aura Properties
- No duration - lasts while source unit is alive
- Does not stack with itself (multiple Warlords)
- Affected units lose bonus if they leave range
- Bonus reapplies immediately when entering range
Formation Tactics
- Position Warlord with melee allies
- Berserker + Warmaster = devastating damage
- Guardian benefits for counter-attacks
Interactions
Synergies
- Berserker: High STR gets even higher with aura
- Guardian: Counter-attacks deal more damage
- Melee formation: Multiple allies benefit at once
Counters
- Focus Warlord: Kill aura source removes all bonuses
- Kiting: Spread formation reduces aura coverage
- Casters: PSI attackers don't benefit from +STR
