Re: Quick quickness question!
That's because in combat everything basically comes down to the damage rolls a defending unit has to "receive":
Water Bless: x1.5
Fire Bless - ATT bonus: x1.5 (hit-%tage from 50% to 75% with common attack/defense values)
Fire Bless - fire damage: x2 (additional 6AP open ended fire damage roll)
This comes down to ~4.5 times the number of damage rolls compared to the non-blessed unit. Obviously, this is most effective with units with multiple attacks (Vans, Jaguars) - with that many attack rolls against one target, chances are high you get several high damage values or even a "critical" (where the 2d6oe rolls re-rolls maybe even several times).
That way, high-protection or high-hp units can fall easily in one combat round.
