Rain and Mud Suppress Conflict (Downpour Drenches the World)

Frequently Asked Questions

Spirits and Innate Powers

• When are the bonuses and penalties computed for Downpour's 'Rain and Mud Suppress Conflict' innate power?
  When they're relevant. This power sets up ongoing effects tied to Downpour's Presence, not in a specific land, so if the configuration of Downpour's Presence on the island changes, so does the suppression of damage.

  Practically speaking, check Defend whenever Invaders deal damage (Ravage, usually), Dahan damage reduction when they counterattack as part of Ravage, and Invader/Dahan health reduction whenever they take Damage (or for already-Damaged pieces, when their Health is reduced).

• Does hitting both the first and second thresholds of Downpour's 'Rain and Mud Suppress Conflict' reduce Dahan counterattack damage to 0 in Downpour's lands?
  No. The total counterattack damage is reduced, not the damage per Dahan. (You can intuitively think of it as Defend that also protects the Invaders from the Dahan.)
