Mewgenics Leech Shot Guide: Stats, Scaling, and Best Use
Leech Shot is the Necromancer’s ranged basic attack. It costs 0 mana and applies +1 Leech to a unit within 3 tiles. It scales with Dexterity.
This is not a burst damage tool. It is a setup ability.
What Leech Shot Actually Does
Leech Shot:
Has 3 tile range
Costs 0 mana
Applies +1 Leech to the target
Scales with Dexterity
Leech is a sustain mechanic. When damage is dealt to a unit with Leech, health is restored based on those stacks. The more Leech you stack across enemies, the more healing your team generates over time.
Leech Shot lets you start that engine immediately.
When To Use Leech Shot
You should use Leech Shot:
Early in fights to stack sustain
On high HP enemies who will live multiple turns
Before AoE turns so you get multiple Leech triggers
When you do not need burst damage
It is strongest in longer fights. The earlier you apply Leech, the more value you gain.
When Not To Use It
Do not rely on Leech Shot when:
An enemy must die immediately
You need burst damage to prevent a mechanic
The fight will end in 1 or 2 turns
Leech Shot builds advantage over time. It does not solve emergencies.
Positioning Tips
Because it has 3 tile range:
Stay behind your tank
Apply Leech safely before enemies engage
Do not step into melee unless necessary
It is a safe way to contribute while building sustain.
Final Blurb
Leech Shot is a slow burn ability. It costs nothing, sets up sustain, and gets stronger the longer the fight lasts. Use it early, stack it often, and let the healing snowball carry your team through tougher encounters.
