Death Bless Affliction

[Borg]

Can somebody tell me what exactly does this bless do ?
Thx.

The minor bless gives your units a higher chance to cause afflictions when the damage opponents(this also effects their ranged weapons and, iirc, spells). The major bless gives your sacreds melee attacks a secondary effect of 2AN damage, MR negates(easily?).

How useful is this bless if you destroy your opponent anyway ?
Does it change enemy units' stats during the battle ?

[Shovah32]

Well the afflictions change the units stats(blind, lost an arm ect) and the major bless can help vrs heavily armed opponents but generally fire is better(higher damage with major, higher attack with minor).

If you have sacred archers/mages you would like to see causing alot of afflictions or if you wanted death on your pretender anyway then its handy, its also handy if you have fairly cheap sacreds/sacreds with multiple attacks as it lets them cripple enemy SCs later on.

There's been discussion about using the Death Bless with sacred mages. The affliction rate is included on spell damage. So if you have something that hits a lot of enemy units in a single casting like Blade Wind, you could have roving defensive armies of 3-4 mages intercept incoming armies and inflict huge amounts of wounds on them.

The thing is I want to try The Mother of Monsters D5N4 for a Carrion Woods Strategy with LA Pangaea.

Pangaea seems to have nice sacred units and summons.

I haven't played this before, but I was wondering how effective the Death Bless will be ?
