However, it is definitely a fun ability that could lead to exciting moments when someone hits with all their Lightning Bolts and obliterates a unit. We don’t think you’ll see this much in competitive play, where consistency is king. Incantation of the Tempest gives you a 50/50 chance to reroll all misses on all spells it casts this turn, or end up disordered and unable to cast any spells for the remainder of the turn. There are two unique upgrades available here:

These rogues would be able to go about casting magic unchecked, but no longer! The Dragons, Tree Herders, Frost Giants, Mind Screeches and Greater Elementals of Pannithor will tremble in fear. There are a surprisingly large amount of monsters and heroes which can cast spells, but have Spellcaster Tier 0. Hex, a spell that exclusively punishes spellcasters for casting spells (they take damage), can now be cast on Spellcaster Tier 0 units. It also helps differentiate Fireball from Lightning Bolt, which has long been considered the superior offensive spell. The addition of Shattering to Fireball adds that extra special sauce (as Jeremy Duvall from Countercharge would put it), as it denotes the impact that being aflame has on a person/monster. Spicy Spell Updatesįireball gains the Shattering special rule, which adds 1 to the subsequent Nerve test at the end of the ranged phase. That’s not all that’s in here, but you’ll have to wait until the release date to see the rest of the book.

Most exciting is that this is touted as the ‘No Nerf’ Clash of Kings, so every army only gets better! For the armies that are already considered powerful, this means the more underused units will be buffed, whereas for the weaker armies, the improvements will be more widespread.
