Weaken
Debuff 2 Turns
Debilitating curse that reduces offensive capabilities. Affected units deal less damage with both physical and psionic attacks.
Source: Necromancer (Curse), Mentalist (Mind Break)
Mechanics
How It Works
- Reduces -1 STR (less physical damage)
- Reduces -1 PSI (less psionic damage)
- Affects all damage calculations
- Cannot reduce stats below 0
Duration & Stacking
- Lasts 2 turns from application
- Does not stack - reapplication refreshes duration
- Duration reduces at end of affected unit's turn
Priority Targets
- Berserker: Cripple their massive STR output
- Pyromancer: Reduce Fire damage significantly
- Any damage dealer: Neutralize threats temporarily
Interactions
Strong Against
- Glass cannons: High damage units become much weaker
- Low-stat units: -1 from 2 STR is 50% reduction
- Mixed attackers: Both STR and PSI reduced
Counters
- Purifying Light: Paladin removes Weaken debuff
- Buffs: Arcane Hymn/Portal Boost offset penalty
- Support units: Bard, Paladin don't rely on damage
