Monch wtf man

[Danger!² High Voltage!]

Has anyone lost a game because Monch decides to devour off their lane and eat the hero and everyone else? Please let me know if this is a bug or I'm misunderstanding Monch's mechanic, thank you!

[Martok-Worf]

I haven't seen this happen yet with Monch, did he get infected with Aimless maybe?

[Conter]

It's not a bug. Upon attacking, he is meant to eat every ally unit in the lane and absorb their attack/health into himself. So be careful about putting your hero in the same lane if he is about to attack.

His main gimmick is to pair with he summons you can constantly use so you can keep beefing him.

Reread what he said, he said Monch ate the hero that was "off their lane". So unless I'm getting it wrong, for some reason Monch ate the other lane, rather than the allies on his own lane.

What Martok said about aimless is my best bet on what happened.

OFF their lane?

That is...That sounds either like a wonky interaction (Fog? Aimless?) or a bug. XD

I thought he was going to monch on the guy in front like those gorgers in Monster Train, but no he ate my hero behind too. Clearly I didn't read to closely.

I was dying of laughter when it happened.

really need to give players a mulligan with cards like this in the game cause we idiots forget we got an instakill ally in our group at the worst time

Yep this happened to me with the enemy version of Monch (Wooly Drezz I think it's called).

I killed everything in it's lane thinking 'aha that will counter it's mechanic', then it just ate the thing above it and I lost as it had now had aimless and tonnes of extra health.

I think it's a bug, because my own ally Monch never did this. It ate what was in lane and chilled.

No, the enemy version works as its meant to, it just eats a random ally, meanwhile Monch specifies that it eats all allies on its own row. One thing I dislike about the Wooly Drezz though is that it can't actually eat the boss monster, yet our Monch can eat the leader.

I was trying to slowly wear it down on one run since eat gained the "get 2 teeth when damaged" so it became impossible to kill since I couldn't kill it in just a couple hits. So I thought I'd try and let it eat everything else and use clonkers to tank its attacks. Yet when it was just it and the boss it didn't actually eat the boss, even though it was its last ally.

I think that's one of the enemies I hate the most so far, just with its insane starting health means it can be hard to kill it before it becomes really strong. It wouldn't be so bad, but with the 15 health, 7 damage aimless enemies I have to take out asap it's a nightmare of a fight for me.

Ah my bad! Deff missed that on my first few reads, boy do I love having dyslexia XD

Yeah, aimless certainly sounds like it could have caused that if there were no other allys in the lane.

Ah okay. As I'd had ally Monch in a run before I encountered Wooly Drezz that's on me for not reading the enemy text properly .

But I agree with you that that just makes it one of the worst designed enemies in a game full of weirdly designed enemies. 50% of the enemies in this game are run ending threats if they get so much as one turn and aren't inked when they take it.

To think that for a second I thought that they'd made an enemy that had an outside the box way to stop it besides 'ink it' or 'stop it's counter hitting zero (and evidently so did you with your even cleverer 'let it eat the boss' tactic).

[Shadowfox]

so far liking the summons but damn rng is screwing me hard on getting the right combination

Just reposition your units or if month is going to kill your leader send him to heal .

I don't know, it's not that hard unless he had "aimless" .

Maybe actually read the OP, given they're claiming that Monch ate off of its lane.
Aimless or Haze causing Monch to eat off of its lane would be an interesting bug, though one that should've been caught decently quick with proper testing. The target location has nothing to do with where his passive applies.

Just here to add to the pile of people who have accidentally Monched their Leader...
