Info

Hex (also referred to as Sheep or Polymorph) is a status effect which turns the affected unit into a harmless critter, disabling many of its fighting capabilities.

Mechanics

Hexed Windranger, collision size stays unchanged, but the selection boxes change based on the critter model.

All sources of Hex have an instant (0 second) cast time and instantly destroy illusions. Hexed heroes are still treated as heroes by spells.

Besides disabling, hex also directly manipulates the target`s base movement speed, setting to a usually low value. The target still fully benefits from any flat movement speed bonuses, like that from any boots Boots may refer to: Boots of Speed Power Treads Phase Boots Tranquil Boots Arcane Boots Guardian Greaves Boots of Travel Play “One divided against its Self cannot stand.” This disambiguation page lists articles with a similar .
