your ferocity wanes...

I think there may be an off by one bug with the effect of War Cry. I had one turn left, saw the "your ferocity wanes" message, but the damage I was dealing out seemed to be reduced back to normal levels during the battle. I'm wondering if the turn counter is decremented at the beginning of the battle (like stamina) and that causes the effect to disappear before the battle begins. This makes sense for stamina, since running away from the battle shouldn't save your stamina. However, it seems to me that the effect of War Cry should last until the end of the battle.

Wait, you're level 29 with War Cry?
I thought it was just something you would pick up after a while at the skill shop. I'm 36 now, though. Did I miss something?

It is a spell, not a skill. You might want to investigate the Misty Plateau and/or visit the Magic Shop...

Wow. I completely glazed over that when I was leveling up!

Ah, you're exactly right. The count is decremented at the beginning of the fight, so there is an off-by-one error there. I'll fix that.

Cool, my first bug!

I just noticed the same bug with Murderous Rage. My Profile said I had one turn remaining, but the damage I was dealing out during that battle was reduced back to normal levels.
Are you still giving out "squashed bugs"?

Yes, it applies to all timed passive effects. And yes, I am still giving out Squashed Bugs, but normally I don't give them out until after I've fixed the bug.

I didn't check War Cry again, so I wasn't sure if it was per-effect or global. That answers the question. Thanks!
