[MASTER] Dispels vs Removes problem -- HOTM and Guardian Chameleon and Gazelle

[DaveCozy]

To anyone who is still upset or confused about these skills:

I have a guide on Status Effects where I point out that the game is very clear when using the words “dispel” and “remove”

@DaveCozy

Primer: “Dispels” vs “Removes”

Hero skill cards are always very specific when it comes to describing what exactly they dispel
…
A buff can only be dispelled if it is not listed as undispellable under the description of the buff casted.
…
[Likewise], ailments listed as undispellable under the description of the ailment can not be cleansed.

Removing

Skills that specifically say they remove will wipe all status effects, including undispellable ones.

Note that this covers both buffs and ailments.

I do understand the confusion though, but this is typical of many RPG games to do, whether they’re real time strategy or card-based games; new terms are introduced to shake up the game.

I also want to point out that while the above is a fan-guide written by me, the source material comes straight from the developers patch notes:

Text Clarifications and Improvements:

• The text for effect that clears debuffs from allies is now: ‘Dispels status ailments from allies’
• The text for effect that clears buffs from enemies is now: ‘Dispels buffs from enemies’
• The word ‘Remove’ is now used with effects that clear all dispellable and undispellable buffs and debuffs.
