Just wondering how these two abilities would combine. In ToB, Red Death has a lightning attack skill for the FoD lightning and it bounces to other units.. So I assume it's Lightning Attack + Moon Glaive. On to the point.. One thing I don't get is how Moon Glaive works. Will it mimic the attack of the unit or not. How well will it work if combined with Lightning Attack? I don't have access to WE right now, but I'm hoping to get an answer. |

I think it is the "Weapon Type - Missile (Bounce)" That causes the huntress to bounce. |

Ever heard of an orb effect? Apparently not. It's based on the orb of lightning (new) ability. You make a custom chain lightning ability using the red lightning effect from FoD and the FoD special effect on hit, then have the orb effect cast that chain lightning 100% of the time it strikes with an attack. Voillah, now everytime the Red Death attacks, it fires a red chain lightning. Done. It has NOTHING to do with lightning attack and/or attack bouncing. |

Except that orb abilities don't work on auto-acquired attacks. I think Red Death does use a bouncing attack. |

What do you mean they don't work on auto-acquired attacks? I've never used orb abilities personally, but that seems odd to me. Perhaps I just don't know what you mean by "auto-acquired." |

For something like a ward that doesn't move, that would work sufficiently. |

Issueing an order with triggers wont cause the orb to register attacks, the only way to do it is by the player actually ordering. |

Man, orb effects really suck. |

I ran into that problem with auto-acquiring and orbs, and posted about it in this thread, if you want more info. |

All Red Death does is reissue a "smart" order on the autoacquired unit. |

Wow, Kaz is here... this is awkward. |

I thought that Moon Glaive was just an innate ability to signify an upgrade... |
