Aether Raids needs “dishonorable” units.

That's how i would fix it

I don't think that would work, at least I think the offensive penalty is uncalled for. Sure, attackers can reduce my Lift by winning but I would believe most of us only really care about the defensive teams we attack ourselves.

I'd also say getting 20 free Lift just for trying seems very silly. I could take a unit loss compensation if you do manage to win though.

Then again, I don't think this in itself is necessary. We can prepare 5 raiding parties, maybe we should just study more how to deal with the cheapest threats (which people are already doing with different shenanigans) and prepare units for that.

I personally even enjoy facing Brave Veronica many times (depends on the situation, obviously) since my units are usually tanky enough to entertain her while I kill the other units and destroy their resources before finishing her off.

I could be wrong though.

Veronica isn't the problem. Veronica would be replaced by another high-speed, high-attack staff wielder on horseback.

The only reason people notice Veronica is because she is a free to play unit, that no one in their right mind would pass up-- for the simple fact that it is SO hard to actually build a unit like her from scratch.

All your idea would accomplish amounts to hampering f2p players.

Instead of giving more points, I'd be okay with a reverse bonus unit list alongside the bonus units. Players could vote on 3-5 units to get stat penalties each season.

I guess the top 3 units would be Reinhardt, Veronica, and Brave Lyn.

use gronnraven?
