I am still a sort of new player. I read in several tactics discussions that you can "hot swap" this or that upkeep spell between two warjacks. How does that work?

First of all, welcome on this forum and into Warmachine!
For "Hot Swapping", people mean upkeeping and recasting an upkeep spell every turn, after the unit who got it the turn before benefitted from it.
Usually, you can only have one instance of every upkeep spell in play, as an example you can have only a single "Snipe" spell in play at every given time.
It usually means that only a single model/unit can benefit from it every turn, but if you upkeep it on an unit (from the precedent turn), activate the unit and shot benefitting from the increased range, and then activate the caster and cast the Snipe spell again on another unit, the spell will move to the new target, that you can activate in the same turn (Hot swapping).
That means that with hot swapping, you can potentially make two unit benefit from an upkeep spell instead of the usual one.

That is pretty much what I had worked putty, glad it is not more complicated than that. Thanks for the speedy reply! |
