Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Swipe notes.
- Like most area of effect damaging effect, Swipe deals all its damage before any on-damage triggered effects are activated. However, Swipe creates Damage Events in an unusual order: first for the targeted character, and then for all other enemy characters in reverse order of play; then, all Damage Events are resolved in the same order.[1]
- This spell's damage is increased as usual by bonuses from Spell Damage and
Prophet Velen. For example, with Spell Damage +1 Swipe will deal 5 damage to its target and 2 damage to all other enemies.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "March of the Legion" series, for the card Swipe.
- At the time of its release, Swipe was the only damaging effect with an area of effect that is targeted (i.e., that requires the player to actively choose - and be able to choose - a target).
