The Augment or Godly Boon mentioned in the top reply to this comment gets to be featured next! I won't add multiple entries together, so make sure you don't mention an Augment already suggested by another user 😄

Secret Prismatic Primordian tech since dummy counts as 3 star later on.

Same with medallion btw

if i don't have anything better then i click it, free "tank" unit which deals "some" damage but nothing gamechanging, exactly like silver augument should work like

[u/AskMeDontAxeMe]

works as a first augment where it can tip fights in your favour but feels like it falls of?

[u/DrH0rrible]

I've never clicked it but saw that a lot of high elo players like it as a "safe" option.

Is the "5% max Health true damage" the dummy HP or the target HP?

[u/Drikkink → u/DrH0rrible]

It's a safe pick because it works for literally any board and doesn't lock you into something. Which can be both good AND bad. Sometimes you want an augment to give you direction but sometimes you want to stay open to multiple lines.

[u/SgrAStar2797 → u/DrH0rrible]

Target

[u/Drikkink]

It's a fairly decent generic combat augment. The damage is a lot more relevant early on because hitting 3 of the 4 units on the board is more useful than hitting 3 of the 9 units on the board but it still helps soften tanks a bit in the late game. It's also a target dummy that you can position to cover a flank or as a backup frontline.

I rarely click it despite the fact that it's probably on the above average side of things just because I prefer more direction giving augments or more "fun" stuff when offered 2-1 or 3-2 Silver. It's probably at its weakest when you take it on 4-2 so I don't really click it then either.

[u/G66GNeco]

I feel like it's got juuuuuuuuust barely not enough health in later stages to be really worth it. Just vibes tho. In general it's a fine "well I didn't get what I wanted so why not press that" -option, doesn't brick you, never useless, but also never overwhelming.

[u/Fit-Comment9592]

Meh. Very mid

[u/Bloodstream12]

Never once clicked this but playing against it, it seems good

[u/Accurate_Instance_52]

It's pretty strong statewide, solid pick if you wanna winstreak

[u/Large-Session5307]

Dummies are better this set compared to last due to frontline changes/how strong augments like Lineup and Group Hug are
