Shapeshift Modifier changes how team building works in a very direct way. When this modifier is active, every unit on the game counts as having all Bloodlines at the same time. This comes from the selecting of the units as you pick your units to the battle. This does not change their base stats by itself but it changes how Bloodline Dominion works in the battle. As long as the archon has Bloodline Dominion, Shapeshift Modifier allows every unit to receive Bloodline-related effects tied to that Bloodline Dominion. This means units can gain abilities or stats depending on what the Bloodline Dominion provides.

Because Shapeshift gives all units every Bloodline, Bloodline Dominion can now apply to any unit in the game. As long as the archon has Bloodline Dominion, you are no longer limited by Element or original Bloodline when choosing units. This means every allowed unit in the battle can fully benefit from Bloodline-related effects and you can literally use any unit in the game for that battle. The only real limitation left is the mana cap which still works the same like any other battle, the available elements and other modifiers that limits your options.

Modifiers

Shapeshift Happens - All units have Shapeshift (treated as all bloodlines).

• Battles in Shapeshift Happens modifier feel very and flexible because Bloodline restrictions no longer block Bloodline Dominion effects. Every unit can interact with Bloodline-based abilities which changes how teams are built from the start. This modifier rewards players who understand how Bloodline Dominion works and synergy between abilities. You can create your perfect team with this. Do you want to combo Life Element's Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut with Death Element's Arachne Weaver's Corrupted Healing while using Fire's Fithe Bladestone's Void? You can use all of that in Shapeshift Happens modifier. Your imagination is the limit.

5 Combos You Can Do with Shapeshift Happens Modifier

Modifier	Name	Description
	Arcane Dampening	All units have the Void ability.
		- Arcane Dampening Modifier gives Void ability to all units which reduces magic damage from every attack. This works very well with Archon Bella Ratajowlski's Shield because Shield halves melee and range attacks while Void handles magic damage. Together, Shield and Void abilities covers all three attack types, making your units take less damage. Bella Ratajowlski’s Bloodline Dominion ensures these effects apply to all units when Shapeshift Happens is active. The combination of these two abilities gives you a strong defensive setup that can make your units survive longer in battles.
	Thick Skinned	All units have the Shield ability.
		- Thick Skinned Modifier already gives Shield to all units and when paired with Fithe Bladestone the effect becomes much stronger. Fithe Bladestone provides Void which reduces magic damage while Shield halves melee and range damage. This combination allows units to reduce all three attack types at the same time. With Shapeshift Happens modifier active, Bloodline Dominion ensures Void applies to every unit regardless of their original Bloodline. This gives your team a ridiculous amount of defense when all of your units both have Shield and Void. This makes Thick Skinned Modifier extremely annoying for the enemy when your enemies aren't prepared for this combo.
	Wands Out	Only units with magic attacks may be used.
		- Wands Out Modifier limits all attacks to magic damage which makes Loving the Moo a strong Archon choice. Loving the Moo provides Blast and Magic Reflect, both of which work very well when magic attacks are the only option. Magic Reflect becomes very consistent since every enemy attack will trigger it. Blast also gains more value here because Blast with magic damage also bypass armor. With Shapeshift Happens modifier, Bloodline Dominion from Loving the Moo gives all of your units Poison which increases your damage more. Magic damage is good with this because you can apply the poison more consistently.
	Up Close & Personal	Only Units with Melee attack may be used in battles.
		- Up Close & Personal Modifier restricts attacks to melee units only which makes Elowen Sylphie, an upcoming Earth archon, a strong Archon choice when it's realeased. Charge allows melee units to attack from any position while Trample rewards high damage units that secure kills. These abilities work very well together not all melee units can attack from the backline. Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut has a very strong combo with Elowen Sylphie. This archon gives Resurgence that revives a unit with max health and max armor when it dies at the cost of inflicting 1 damage to all units. In Shapeshift Happens Modifier, since you can use Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut despite it not being an Earth unit or have Avian or Mundane Beast Bloodline, you can give him the Resurgence ability which means if Dar Gottem Gearnut died, he gets revived with his 4 armor and 25 health for your enemies to deal with once again.
	Noxious Fumes	All Units start the battle Poisoned.
		- Noxious Fumes Modifier applies poison damage every round which inflicts damage to everyone at the start of each round. Razi Clanktrap’s Painforge works well here because it adds damage over time while battles drag on. When paired with a unit like Shadowfey Shiek, a unit that has Life Leech, the combo becomes a scary piece. Life Leech allows Shadowfey Shiek to increase max health while poison damage continues. This helps offset the constant health loss from Noxious Fumes Modifier. With Shapeshift Happens modifier, Bloodline Dominion also gives Shadowfey Shiek the Painforge ability. This increases its damage when it gets hit by the Poison damage that increases its magic damage due to Painforge. The increased damage now gets more health from Life Leech making this a very strong loop.

Closing Thoughts

Shapeshift Happens Modifier is one of the underrated modifiers because a lot of players don't see the value of being able to pick and mix units and abilities from other elements. This modifier allows Bloodline Dominion to fully shine and make the battle based on how much the players know about the abilities synergy between units. Players who understand Bloodline Dominion and different interactions will gain a large advantage in these matches.
