Bad morale decreases the enemy's attack and defense rating scores and critical chance percentage. Meaning, conventional units can benefit from it as well.

Simply to illustrate the point, if you cast Target on say, Black Knights, then cast Oil Mist on the Black Knights, you just increased the Black Knight's survivability (assuming the enemy cannot use fire) even though he does not deal fire damage. The Black Knight can also deal more damage to the enemy since the enemy's Defense rating (not resistance) has gone down.

Now, why would someone do that? To minimize the black knight losses until I can fully summon my Ancient Phoenix and Dragon of Chaos which will annihilate the enemy surrounding the Black Knights.

Wait, what? You cast oil mist on your own black knights, and then target them? I have no idea why you think that sounds like a good idea.

Do you mean that you'll use the infinite retal item to cause them to attack a lot? In such a case, stone skin is better for defense. Oil mist is actually really bad for black knights compared to the melee attackers going against it, since there defense is so high. And ranged damage INTO the mist is normal. Only ranged from OUT OF the mist gets lowered.
