First, wisp should not have blocking since they are overpowering with blocking. Next, this unit is pretty nice only that is would suck unless your enemy has no way of hitting it and you are a gold that uses a BW. Also, unblockable attacks should not be able to miss since they are, well, unblockable, and the recovery is too high for a unit with basically no defence or health. Nice try of balancing it out,tho 5 out of ten.

Stoned units are not protected... that's horrible. I think you should change it to "all units within range get +50% blocking to all sides". Except that I did something like that. Take a look at my Shield Ward (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23414), and feel free to bump it because it never got a response at all.

I say 7 out of 10. I like this idea, a few flaws, but I like it.

That was a typo, I meant units that are casting a focus spell does not get the extra evasion. Sorry for the confusion, I fixed it again...

Oh, OK. But that's not what a typo is.

This grants more protection than a stone golem, to more units. I think it's overpowered. Have it just be a 50% front blocking bonus (25% side blocking).

But just think having all your knights around this thing with plus 50% blocking would be deadly in turts...

I agree along that they will be unhitable from front they will have more side blocking than a scout front blocking! It will be overpowered, and using it on some other units would be helpful too. Mages should rush more safe with it, and this combined with SG makes your unit unstoppable.

Still, that's not as overpowered, because unblockability and back attacks would work. Actually, I think it gives less of a bonus than a stone golem.

You can just hit the Flash Wisp with a Scout or a Pyro.

It's the same with the stone golem, except that the flash wisp can dodge it.

Those the aurora stack up to the wisp too, meaning that it would have a 50% of blocking during focus?

Yes, the Flash Wisp can dodge attacks when he's focusing.

It works for the wisp but not for any other focused units... I think that's odd. How about taking off the ability to affect itself?

More reasons why this unit is overpowering.

Scout is mostly used focus-breaker but much less effective on this if it can dodge his arrow.

yeah, and you might have to even move the scout to a position to get killed just to save that unit. Making the unit overpowering
