What Lucian Rewards
Purifier · printed ability
“Your Equipment each give [Assault]. (+1 Might while equipped unit is an attacker.)”
Lucian asks you to care about combat math; the fun is setting up fights where your units survive because the Legend ability changes the numbers.
The Game Plan
Every Equipment becomes an attack modifier. Lucian wants to suit up units before combat, clear blockers, and make attacking math better than the printed gear numbers suggest.
Strengths
Equipment adds extra attack Might
Strong proactive combat
Punishes slow starts with suited attackers
Watch Outs
Defense does not get Assault
Needs units and Equipment together
Can be disrupted by bounce or removal
Turn by Turn
1Early: pair a cheap unit with Equipment so Assault matters immediately.
2Midgame: attack with equipped units and use removal only to protect the battlefield that scores.
3Late: consolidate gear on attackers that can force final points without exposing every unit.
New to this Legend? Pick Lucian if you want aggressive Equipment turns where attacking with gear hits harder than it looks.
