How do I lower enemy Instinct to boost my physical damage in Dragonfire?

In the stat triangle, physical damage is reduced by the defender's Instinct. Breaking enemy Instinct = all your physical damage (every basic attack in the army) rises.

Who lowers enemy Instinct:

  • Jagadrix (*Cunning Whispers*): −Instinct and −Initiative at the same time.
  • Shadowsong / Vaeldra *Ensnare*: −18% Instinct/Initiative.
  • Tashix *Dragon's Cunning*: −10% enemy Instinct.
  • Warrior auras like *Battle Rush*: −Instinct on the enemy side.

In a physical army (Rhysarion at the Center for the aura, Daemoros/Thunderstrike/Venator on the flanks), adding an Instinct-breaker raises every basic attack. It's a free team multiplier.

Triangle reminder: Strength raises physical (attacker's side), Instinct reduces it (defender's side). You play both ends: your hitters have Strength, the enemy loses Instinct.
