Need help understanding how Morale works

[Andy]

It used to be that with Calvin with a level 4 partisan in a specific configuration would always hit Baal or Cerberus with Will Breaker at the right time so that it would not be used until there was only one hero left. I have upgrades some runes and equipment on my Heros, including Calvin but not the Level 4 partisan. Now I am getting less that 50% of that condition. I am not sure if Calvin's morale is going up faster and he is hitting too early of if Baal/Cerberus morale is increasing faster or slower trowing the timing off.

I have noticed that at times the monster gets the rotating circle of start above his head (not sure what that is). Could that be affecting his morale?

The new level runes and equipment means that my Heroes are hitting harder and I can see that because when things work right I am getting about 600k more per battle. Could that affect the morale build up for the monster?

Dies any one know what are the conditions that affect the increase of morale in a battle so I can try to figure out what to adjust to get back to the way it used to work?

Thanks

The rotating circle above its head means you stunned it with cianna or shayd. This basically means that it cant attack next time his turn to attack comes up. Those heroes surviving longer could be what is throwing you off.

if u stun him it will throw u out of how u have it and if u use a mage the attacks from the mage wont give him morale so that will throw u off aswell

Thanks to those that replied. The problem was that I switched Shayd for Mehvidan. I will continue to use Mehvidan until I can give Calvin a full set of equipment and see how the Morale that is retained affects the situation. If I can get it right I can put Shayd back in and get 6 rounds.

you get 1/3 of the morale bar(you may consider it 34 morale) for every move or getting hit except blocking/being blocked, dodging/being dodged. And the Morale boost runes give you Morale at the start of the fight that you can use skills earlier. And it's possible to empty cerb's morale bar to stop it from using skill attack if you have Calvin.
