The amount each stack's resistance is reduced by is weighted: therefore a stack that comprises 10% of an army's total power would thus be subject to 10% of Pixie Dust's effects for a reduction of 2% to all of that stack's resistances. Likewise, a stack that comprises 90% of an army's total power would be subject to 90% of Pixie Dust's effects for a reduction of 18% to all of that stack's resistances.

Note that Pixie Dust's effect can only be distributed in parcels that have a minimum size of 1%; stacks that constitute at least 0.5% of an army's power will be sufficient to attract 1% of Pixie Dust's total 20% resistance reduction. As a direct consequence, a player wishing to minimize the impact of this item on a mono stack defense can employ several small 0.5% fatigue stacks to do, thereby spreading out Pixie Dust's impact without resorting to a proportional spread of his army power.

Given the above mechanics, Pixie Dust is effective vs short stacks, and especially useful vs mono stacks.

Effects

  • Reduces the damage resistances of all enemy units during battle by 20% divided by the number of enemy stacks and weighted by those stacks' strength
    • For example, if there are 10 equally-powerful stacks in the enemy's army, then the resistances of each stack will be lowered by 2%
    • It is important to note that the result of the Dust is weighted; this means that if the enemy has 10 stacks, but the top stack comprises of 90% of the net power of the army, then it will receive 90% of the Dust's effect (18% reduction)
    • The least amount of reduction a Pixie Dust will apply to a particular stack is 1%; the minimum stack size that will attract this 1% reduction is 0.5% of net power; this means that any stack smaller than 0.5% will not attract any of the Dust's effects, and thus will not minimize the effect it will have on other larger, more important stacks
