Teeth
Teeth is a buff applied by some Shademancer cards. When a card with Teeth is hit by another card on the field, it simultaneously deals damage back to its attacker equal to Teeth.
Information and Strategy
Teeth is an effect exclusive to the Shademancer Tribe. Unlike traditional attack, the damage dealt by Teeth scales with how frequently the enemies attack, instead of how often the card itself attacks. This makes it useful for enemies with weak attack that attack quickly, and for dealing damage to backline enemies when they attack. However, relying on Teeth as a primary damage source is generally not a good idea, as enemies that deal high damage can break through while sustaining minimal damage themselves. Some enemies also put the fight on a time limit with power scaling (such as Infernoko and King Moko), and the completely reactive damage of Teeth will likely not finish the fight quickly enough.
Teeth Interactions
Cards that have effects when they trigger will not get the chance to activate their effects if they die from hitting a card with Teeth. For instance, if a Shell Witch attacks a player card with Teeth and dies from the Teeth damage, it will not apply Shell to its allies. However, debuffs that are inflicted on hit will still be inflicted. For instance, if Snoof attacks an enemy and dies due to its Teeth, it will still inflict Snow on the enemy.
Since the damage dealt by Teeth is dealt simultaneously with the damage the attacker deals, an attacking card will still suffer Teeth damage on the hit that kills the card with Teeth. This makes damage from Teeth completely unavoidable for attacking cards, as Snow and Ink have no effect on Teeth.
If a card with Barrage hits multiple cards that have Teeth, it will take damage equal to the total Teeth of the enemies hit. This counts as a single instance of damage for the purposes of breaking Block and Scrap, counting down Demonize, and increasing damage with Bom. It is not treated as multiple simultaneous instances of damage.
