But don't always believe those descriptions. You have to click on the ability of the troop to see reality.

...and here you are assuming that all of the unit's abilities are really displayed as icons.

I'd say I have a feel that the Queens' full reg ability is separate from the regeneration they also have. My experience with the ladies is limited, though (and of patch 2.08 fame), so I may be wrong.

I ran a test with the 2.12 patch, and the ability did not work for the Queen of the Lake. She was down to 3 hitpoints, and only went back to 31 hitpoints on the next round (her Regeneration was of 28 hitpoints) instead of her full 55 hitpoints.

I see no changes that could apply to the Queen of the Lake with the 2.13 patch, so I guess the results would be the same. But be my guest to test it out with the new patch and/or the other Queens.

That should be the one who is amphibian not aquatic .
So it is intended that she has weaker regeneration because she is amphibian

I think it is even mentioned somewhere in her description .

"Unless she is completely killed during one combat round, she will heal all her wounds". This is part of the description for Limne, or the two other Queens for this matter. It should be a separate ability from their Regeneration (that is weaker for the Queen of the Lake and the Queen of the Sea, and not yet equal to 100% for the Queen of the Deep).

Since this ability does not work for the Queen of the Lake, I would say it is quite likely the same goes true for the Queen of the Sea. Still, I should check it out one of these days. Testing this ability for the Queen of the Deep would probably be too difficult given her very high natural regeneration.

Queen of the Deep definitely only regenerates the 50 hps that it says and not her 55 total. Tested that the other day and one round she only made it back to 53.

If the description is wrong, does that mean the Queen of the Lake still gets regeneration on land?

I would guess the description should only be stylish + thematical and give the reason for the high regeneration .

I found out that in some cases like with the water queens the descriptions are rather misleading . Same for a few spells too .

I wonder though why illwinter chose 50 hp regen instead of 55 . Those 5 additional hp would be no big deal .
As it is you feel betrayed by the description

Okay, now I remembered what had bugged me about water queens' regeneration.

Patch 2.13: Summoned Thalassa Queen of the Sea and gave her the amulet of fish. On dry land, she loses the regeneration icon. However, in battle she heals as if she'd have the regeneration.

Hm, it'd seem Thalassa's the only one that loses the regeneration icon when moving to dry land, both queens of the lake and of the deeps keep it. Which way this is supposed to work, I'd say there's a definite inconsistency here..?
