Equipment and team decisions

Late Night Shift's Contract specialty deals a 50%-damage instance when this unit Slows an enemy, and offers +50% damage for +30% cost on placement. Use the familiar's exact name and eligible unit rather than assuming an item named Demon Hunter.

Trading and value

Only trade an item the in-game trade window permits. Limited units that remain obtainable cannot yet be traded. Levels and stats transfer; Update 15.0 removed Unit Ascension bonuses, so previously ascended units no longer receive those bonuses; traits and pity do not. Community value estimates describe the exact normal/shiny/form variant and are opinions rather than developer prices.
