That's intended, making it attack only with its ability is currently a better solution than trying to make its normal attack work like it. So its normal attack is indeed useless, and that's fine imo.

do u know why we can not use the default? would be more intuitive to have only default attack do same as the ability does now.

I think ability is always applied 3 times on the same target, but base atk would only apply dmg once and if we want it 3 times it would need 3 actions which instead would allow it to select a different target if first target dies, which is not possible with ability right now, also if we make base dmg equal to the dmg of 3 attacks with 1 action, it would still deal too high dmg to units it wasnt supposed to, like battering ram, since the weapon is only arrows
There is no place for false kings here, only those who proves themselves to b the true kings of legend, or serves under me

For I watch over this world looking for those worthy to become kings, and on the way get rid of the fakes and rule over the fools

If I remember correctly, I think the main reasons it was reverted were:
  1. Attack having no area damage on miss
  2. Attack having no area damage on kill

I think the damage itself was fine, being applied 4x to primary target and 3x on area, the problem was really the unexpected results of those other cases. Unless I'm misremembering something.
