basic invisible little tips

[tyranim]

alright, i thought about making this thread when i (just now) encountered a situation. the situation being that i dont know if an antimattered vampire (at -6|4) that was also in effect by a previously used eclips. if i were to destroy said eclips, will the attack go down to -8? or go up to -4? so i decided to make a thread where experienced players can add a few tips/secrets about the game that arent directly spoken/written about in the actual game. also, can someone tell me what the attack will be after i destroy an eclips? im fighting incarnet right now, and i dont want to lose, so i antimattered his vamps...

CURRENT TIPS

• if you PU a dived creature, that creature will have the dived attack as a base stat as long as you dont use its own dive ability. if you do use it, its attack will be double its base attack, but be reverted back to the base stat of the PU'd creature
• if an eclips is on the field and you antimatter a darkness/death creature, then destroy the eclips, the attack of the darkness/death creature will go down even further into the negatives (tip courtacy of miniwally)
  
• an animated morningstar results in an immortal creature. an animated protected weapon does not. (tip courtesy of higurashi)
• the death of a skeleton does not trigger boneyards effect, but triggers all other death triggered effects (tip courtacy of TheOwner)

(edit: removed secrets because its WAY to similar to tips)

attack will be -8

[TheOwner]

I would think it would be -8.

Vampire with Eclipse and Antimatter is -6

Vampire with Antimatter and THEN Eclipse is -2

So it would go back down to 8 right?

Confirmed.

We all should... too bad we don't

Then I wouldn't be able to help beginners, because there would be none.

Not sure how obvious these tips should be, but since you have a secrets section for... information that will no longer be a secret once on the list, I suppose the fact that animating Morning Star/Glory results in an immaterial creature, whereas animating any other protected weapon does not is a tip.
Seen some people try to make that happen. I've seen a lot of these beginner discoveries become all the rage in the kongregate chatrooms. It's pretty cute to watch.
