Desert/Dune counting hero

[Slaanesh]

Well it says the Dune and Desert card reduce the HP of creatures...
But it looks like you as the character are included in this.
When you place a dune or desert card you yourself loose max hp as well.....

[Ћ Abomination Jones]

That's intended, yes.

[Roderick]

Because the heroe is a creature. It is the same as with the storm temple. It strikes three random targets and that includes the hero as well. As long as there isn't written "enemy" it will hit not only the enemies.

[Chronstell]

Yeah, but keep in mind that Moutain/Rocks raise your HP double of what you lose from Desert/Dune and increases that bonus further when near other Mountains/Rocks. Rocks increase your max HP by 1% + 1% more for each nearby Rock or Mountain. Mountains do the same but instead it's 2% for the increases. Thus, using both will have you still nets a positive on total Max HP while Enemies will progressively become much weaker.

Just play Necro who doesn't care about his HP all that much b/c he gets a shield.

I wasn't aware of this, no wonder I was dying so often and early the second I unlocked them. They seem kinda useless.

Everything in this game affects everybody, unless clearly stated otherwise.
Beacons also give 20% atk speed to monsters, Storm Temple will hit you, Swamps will hurt anyone who tries to heal, either you or vampires with life steal for instance.
So on and so forth...

Try using them with a river.
