In-Game Description[]
Allows the unit to strike out at all around them.
Details[]
A very rare ability amongst non-hero units, Round Attack allows a unit to swing at multiple targets around them at once. The swing takes on the attack and damage of the unit, similarly to Strike. Unlike ranged attack abilities, Round Attack can be executed after the unit has moved in the same turn, under the same conditions that they would be able to use Strike. It is possible to harm allied units with Round Attack, if they are caught in the area of effect.
Round Attack takes on the properties of elemental variations the unit possesses such as Magic Strike. Unlike when using Strike, a unit cannot have its attack lowered by Parry when using Round Attack. Charge also does not apply its damage bonus to Round Attack.
Any units targeted by Round Attack cannot retaliate. Because of this, units and heroes who possess this ability and whose primary method of attack is melee may wish to exclusively use Round Attack instead of Strike against units with high attack and damage of their own. Preventing such units from retaliating on your turn increases your units' chances of getting the upper hand over the course of several turns, as your additional attacks add up.
