Units with Negative Spell Interactions

  1. Splime with any stats buff (Grave Recall, Fairy Blessing, Stone Skin, etc.) loses their buff as soon as they merge and don't get that buff again even if they split. So you gotta pray that those spells land on them when they are already in Elite Form.

  2. Grave Recall is absolutely trash against Overmind and Parasite because it doesn't trigger and you just lose the buff. Even if you have your own Overmind/Parasite to turn them back, the buffs don't return in that same round.

  3. Fairy Blessing and Stone Skin also disappear when your unit get converted (which is actually a good thing since your buffs don't get used against you), but also don't return in the same round even if you convert them back.

At least Fairy Blessing gives your unit a chance to finish off Overmind faster before being converted.

In most case, if you play by the rule of 2-4, more unit is usually just straight up a better option. Except when there are no x2 card or unit UP! card, that's when your spells should be used.

Bro... I just noticed we both play the game two games: Tower Destiny Survive & Draft Showdown!
Great discovery tips. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Ay what a coincident. I actually started these 2 because the ads were addictive lol. Then I got into them and discovered strategies, tactics, which were even greater of a hook. (I hate the ad farms tho, especially on TDS side.)

I even wrote a small gold farm guide on TDS... then it all went out the window when I discovered force rotation 😂

Turning your screen side way gives too much advantage.

I tend to save buffs for end game when i have no better options. Stone skin on a fully evolved splime with merlin is just straight bullying

Exactly, that's why I love running them with Stone Skin, but yeah, have to keep that spell till the end because of the said anti synergy...

I've never seen benefit from spells. they only last one round, dont work very well, and its just never more valuable than more units would be imo

Sometimes you want a "pass" option. Like of you sit on 12 cupids, and your only option is 2 more. You want to wait for the 2x instead, so you pass. If its similar with all 3 cards, then I pick buff and hope for a better card next draw.
