General Discussion: Scrolls and Items
You may have noticed some curious things in PvP during Free League or a Weekly Championship. Sometimes you'll be wondering what the deal is with people that use scrolls: what exactly do they do? How do you deal with them? What good are they really in PvP; are they worth the investment? Some other times, you will be baffled when, after stunning your opponent's Monk and a few other mercenaries, you see the Monk's stun (and only his) vanish into thin air and then your opponent switch to his Monk and clear up the mess you've made of his mercenaries. How did he do that? And last but not least, you may occasionally run into someone who hides a mercenary in a back row and doesn't just heal it, but even spends that mercenary's turn using up a potion. You might ask yourself, why bother?

Let's answer some of these questions.

Kinds of Scrolls

In a Free League battle or Weekly Championship match, you will encounter two kinds of scrolls or items used. The first kind are what we call Bonus Scrolls, scrolls that you obtain in a battle by attacking an opponent's mercenary when there is a scroll icon hovering over them with a blue circle with a B inside it. When you hit this icon, whatever mercenary you used to hit the Bonus icon will have a box over them describing the scroll they are using.

The second kind are all player-used scrolls and items. The amount of scrolls a player can use in a PvP battle is extremely limited, with only 4 player-used scrolls currently readily available in the game. In addition to this, there are a few potions that players can use in the midst of battle to turn the fight in their favor. These may be instant or may take a turn to fire. Currently, in the Free League and Weekly Championship, you can use about two scrolls in a single match and as many potions as you'd like. It is possible to use more scrolls if many turns occur over the period of time of the fight (~7).
