We're Lycan This Update
GENERAL
Fixed longstanding issue where passive abilities (excepting Dragon special abilities and Sand King's Caustic Finale) used stats from one rank higher, e.g. Crystal Maiden 2-star using Crystal Maiden 3-star's values. Some units got a buff to compensate (see below), and we'll be monitoring the others.
A few Bots had their electronic brains unscrewed, tweaked, and reattached.
Added some new animations for benched units when under unit cap.
Fixed an issue where tiny quantities of damage could generate either too little or too much Mana. Warlock casting Shadow Word would cause this.
Fixed a visual-only issue where Lina and Crystal Maiden would return from the dead at the end of combat.
With most summons removed (see below), removed the Summoning Stone item.
Units killing themselves no longer get those kills scored. Sorry Barricades!
