Card Stats

All units (minions and generals) in Duelyst have an attack stat and a health stat. All minions (but not generals) also have a Mana cost stat. Spells and artifacts have only a Mana cost stat.

Health
When a unit's health stat is reduced to zero (or below), it dies.


 * Magically boosted health stats are displayed in green.
 * Injured units' health stats are displayed in red.
 * Note that boosting a unit's health is not the same as healing it.
 * Heals cannot be dispelled, but health boosts can.
 * This can result in unit which had its health boosted and then took damage being destroyed when it is dispelled.

Attack
A unit's attack stat is the amount of damage it deals to an opponent when it attacks or counterattacks.


 * Magically boosted attack stats at disposed in green.
 * Magically reduced attack stats are displayed in red.

Mana cost
A minion's Mana cost of the number of Mana crystals it takes to simple that minion onto the Battlefield.


 * Reduced Mana costs are displayed in green.
 * Increased Mana costs are displayed in red.
 * Card events that refer to a card's Mana cost generally refer to the base Mana cost of the card, not the amount of Mana actually paid by the player. Magesworn's effect is one exception.
