Question about Revivification Crystals

[Demon of Razgriz]

Ok, I am playing the Lizardmen, and I am wondering how the Bastiladon Revivification Crystal works. I don't really have the money to just build one and then find out its not what I thought. Is it just a Bastilladon that carries an AoE healing for Lizardmen on its back, or does it grant the entire army a regeneration while it's alive?

None of the answers I found online actually tell you.

Neither, it has an active single target heal with (if memory serves) 10 charges. Long duration, slow healing, but it can revive units. I vaguely recall it heals something like 600 health over its duration.

So yeah, not very good, I was hoping for something akin the the VC's mortis engine. Oh and as a side note, the revivification bastiladon takes terrible damage from autoresolve.

[Ditto]

Havn't used one of these yet but im sure its a regen aura not map wide, would seem a bit OP if it was. I could be wrong though, play a quick battle and field one.

They aren't really that good in campaign, but in Multiplayer they can be very useful to heal your lord and heroes without having melee attack and defense debuffs from cold blooded. They can also be used in melee quite effectively.

i usually take a handfull for pvp, it's a great unit, backbone of any lizard army

Woops I mean Custom Battle not Quick Battle

[Demon of Razgriz]

Yeah, I actually forgot the game has a custom battle option.

I used one with mazdamundi and combined his healing with it to pretty good effect on temple guards. By itself the resurrection part is pretty weak, If you do end up resurrecting models they'll be at low life and die really quick.

yeah I've never seen a character model get rez'd, just seems like a heal overtime to the remaining unit(s)

[HeLLfire]

IMO they're not really worth it. There's a decently long CD which means you rarely get many charges off, and depending on your units, another one to micro was too annoying to me :P
