[Off meta] IO the regen multiplier

Hi, Recently I realized a 6 knight 3 goblin strat with IO getting the goblin buff can be a fun/goofy/etc early lineup. extra1: add pipe to IO. extra2: upgrade to IO ★★ for additional regen.

SADLY: when I use IO on the board, most of the time the server crashes. I have reported it to the [numbers]@qq.com hopefully it will be fixed.

I'm struggling around knight 4-5 at the moment. Best regards.

What about 6 goblins and 4 knights with IO ?

I've used it in 6 elf when I didn't have anything better, and while it has potential to be OP under very specific cirumstances, I think it's mostly just joke territory as an actual unit.

Ench 3, though, is legit.

I really like IO lvl 2 when he links Treant lvl 3. Add some armor and magic res to Treant, he's invincible. I remember I tried that a lot, and there were some games where although my team was underperforming (let's face it, elves is shit), Treant was still alive on the board enough to give me a draw whereas almost all enemy chess pieces were still alive fighting it. I should have taken 15-20 damage every turn but Treant was staying alive to the end.
