Information

This is an anti-caster unit designed to fight spellcasters. This unit is created by morphing an Obsidian Statue into a Destroyer. Once morphed, the Destroyer cannot turn back into an Obsidian Statue. The destroyer is classified as an air type unit. Though it might sound good, it is not recommended because it will take extra resources to transform it into a Destroyer.

Destroyers start with 0 mana.

Destroyers cannot regenerate mana from a Fountain of Mana due to balance reasons.

Destroyers mana will decrease when taken from a unit. The spells are splash damage spells and dispel ones.
