Hi,

If madrak casts surefoot everything in a certain range gains +2 def and no knockdown.

Now if I play goreshade against him I can cast hexblast at a unit of champs in front of him. If I hit then upkeeps expire (as per wording) but the upkeep was on Madrak, not the champs, alhough they are profitting from it.

the question is does hexblast allow me to knock the trolls down again, or should I hit Madrak to get the upkeep off of the champs??

I suspect the answer to be no, madrak has to be hit, but I am not sure...

thanx for the answer...

You have to hit the target of the upkeep (in this case, Madrak)

The same would apply to any control area effect upkeep spell.

Severius has Eye of Menoth cast on himself, but it benefits his entire army. In order to Hex Blast
it, you have to hit Severius (which is technically impossible to do since he has Spell Ward, natch).

mm, was afraid so.. ah well, played it wrong on monday then...

Not that it mattered in the end, he would have 2 fury extra in the vault, but that would not have saved him from failing the assasination...

Also, I believe Hex Blast reads as being Directly Hit, so other targets in its AOE will not lose its upkeep spells.

that part I played right, but I only hit things from the same unit
