Marine Flare (Trait)

Dealing damage to enemy Heroes causes them to receive 80 (plus the converted amount of Mana/Resource they use) damage everyime they cast an Ability or Trait for 6 seconds. Stacks up to 3 times.

(When an enemy Hero gets another Marine Flare Stack, the duration of its effects resets back to 6 seconds, meaning that no matter the amount of stacks, the maximun duration will always be that)

(2 Marine Flare Stacks mean 80 (plus double the converted amount of Mana/Resource they use) damage everyime the enemy Hero cast an Ability or Trait, and 3 Marine Flare Stacks mean 80 (plus triple the converted amount of Mana/Resource they use) damage everyime the enemy Hero cast an Ability or Trait)
