Hey! Thanks so much for coming back again and leaving feedback.
I haven't gotten a lot of feedback on the mirror rituals in the new version so this is very helpful.
I definitely agree with all you're saying. I'll have to do some work on the team composition and balancing for fighting against same-unit teams like in the mirror rituals. I also think there's definitely a problem to be figured out with the difficulty of discarding locked units.
As for the non-effect unit buff indulgence, it is possible to use poison on The Hermit to create 2 bone men and then have this buff them. I'm not certain yet how viable of a strategy that is, but I'm still playing around with it!
Anyways, thanks again : )
