Disintegrate + Tough
takes 1 less damage from all sources
and, in this sentence, it is possible to understand the reason Disintegrate works in these units. They take 1 less damage, but they arestill
taking damage, even though it is 0 damage. Got that? So, with the landmark The Scargrounds, all units with Tough hit by Death Lotus or Ice Shard, still get buffed! The damage is not visible, but they took it and survived it, so the landmark works and makes all units get buffed. Another example is to have a Tough unit in the same board as Galio in his level 2 form. For those of you who don't remember, leveled Galio states that "Each round, the first time an ally takes damage, rally". So, if the unit has Tough and takes 1 damage (which becomes 0 and isn't visible), still, you'll get the rally effect. That being so, considering the rules of the game, the interaction between Tough units with Disintegrate are correct.Disintegrate + Barrier

Ways to Counter Disintegrate


Spellshield
. Units which already come with Spellshield such as Sivir, Galio and Aurelion Sol, can be more relaxed, because the opponent is forced to play more than two spells to deal with only one unit, and in Targon we have the spell Bastion, which grants Spellshield to any unit. That is without mentioning the evokes, which can create Moonglow, a 2 mana spell which grants Spellshield to a unit.Ad
