Modifiers
Buff Item Medallion Of Courage Armor Addition: Dispellable with any dispel.
Debuff Item Medallion Of Courage Armor Reduction: Dispellable with any dispel.

Notes:

  • Cannot be cast on self.
  • A unit can be affected by the buff and the debuff at the same time, but not by multiple buffs or debuffs from it.
    • This means when two opposing heroes cast it on each other, the debuffs refresh each other.
    • When two allied heroes cast it on each other, both receive the buff and the debuff which are independent from each other.
    • Be that as it may, the buff and the debuff fully stack with those applied by Solar Crest.
