Understanding the difference between Silent units and the Silence status in Monster Train 2 is crucial for mastering the game. Though their names are similar, they serve entirely different purposes:
Silent Units: A Unit Tag
- Classification: Found exclusively on Luna Coven unit cards, “Silent” is a unit type, similar to “Selene.”
- Functionality: These units often excel during New Moon phases and may have roles like stealth attackers or frontline tanks.
- Not a Status: The tag doesn’t disable their abilities—it’s purely a label for synergy with specific cards and buffs.
Silence: A Debuff Mechanic
- Effect: When applied, this status removes all active abilities from a unit, including Slay, Summon, or Burnout effects.
- Usage: Ideal for neutralizing dangerous enemies, though accidentally Silencing your own units can backfire.
- Temporary: Unlike the Silent tag, this is a short-term condition affecting combat dynamics.
Why the Confusion?
- Both terms originate from the Luna Coven faction, but they’re unrelated mechanically.
- Lore and gameplay overlap create ambiguity, but remember: Silent = type, Silence = effect.
