Traits

  • Description
    Gain 1 seed when your strongest Ivern casts, plus 3 every combat. Ivern uses 5 seeds to grow a hex on your board that grants a bonus to its occupant. 

Ivern enables

  • Grants temporary HP that absorbs damage before the unit's real Health is touched.

  • Bonus Attack Speed makes a unit attack more often per second, which means more auto-attack damage and faster mana generation toward the next ability cast. Some carries scale beyond that — their ability itself fires more hits when they have more Attack Speed (e.g., the number of swipes in Aphelios's onslaught). Stacking AS items and traits on these units compounds: faster autos, faster casts, and bigger casts.

  • Multiplicative bonus to all damage dealt — distinct from raw AD/AP because it applies after the type-specific scaling.

  • The carrier ramps power within a single round — Titan's Resolve gains AD/AP per attack or hit taken, and the Rapidfire trait builds stacking Attack Speed on every attack, up to a cap. All in-combat stacks reset when the round ends, unlike takedown-stacking which carries across rounds.
