War Of the Red Plains: I get charged double Why?

[newnoz]

Every time i do a anything on War Of the Red Plains I get charged double what the button says. Instead of 20 for a smite or Tactics i pay 40 and 80 energy for a heal. Why is this??
Never experienced this before and it just doesn't seem right.
Thanks

Using Barbarus uses up either double or triple the energy/stamina depending on his level and you do double or triple healing/damage/whatever accordingly. There's no downside to using him, but you would normally use him when you attack so that the monster deals less damage to the party health.

Excellent!! I was leveling him up. ( recent acquisition )

I am neck in neck for the top spot now. I'm usually not in a top spot in War of red plains but I got in early So i could switch generals and return to normal when i am short of stamina or energy. Sweet!!

Many thanks for your information.

I could be wrong, but it seems from the little bit I've used him that he only gives XP based on the original stamina cost, not the actual doubled cost to you. So that would be a major downside, as you'd only be getting half XP from monsters when using him.

Can anyone who's used him more confirm or deny whether this is the case? It could just be that I've had an incredibly bad run of awarded XP while using him so far.

He multiplies the XP correctly. People overreact when they get "low" numbers and fail to take into account the naturally pathetic XP returns on some critters to begin with.
