- Poseidon 🔱: A tidal wave pushes all enemies backward.
- Dionysus 🍇: Intoxicates a random enemy—their next move will be random.
- Hera 👑: Instantly revives one of your captured soldiers.

- Jail: Tagged soldiers are placed in a corner jail. They cannot move or take actions until their cooldown is cleared.
- Buff Aging: Buffs stay on the board for 8 turns, but the timer stops if a buff-less soldier is standing close (within 2 squares).
- Obstacles: Diagonal movement is only blocked if there are obstacles on both squares adjacent to the corner you’re cutting.
