Peace Treaty (Hidden Passive)

When Brian lands an attack, nearby taunted and scared units are broken out from the effect.

NOTE:
 * This passive has 2nd most intensity among all taunt and fear effects. Only topped by Coldbourne's Cursed Roar.
 * This means that it could break any type of taunt and fear but not the fear caused by Cursed Roar.

Brian places a flag on a target area, creating an outpost with 2 zombie guards armed with rifles. The Zombie Guards have base 1200 (+5% per level) HP, do 45 (+5% per level) damage, has average attack speed and range. When a zombie guard is taken down, another will rise up after 8 seconds as long as the outpost is still up. The outpost (flag and some boxes) can be destroyed in 6 basic attacks and lasts for 45 seconds.

Other zombies entrusted flag zombies on placing guard outpost in case a huge wave comes too late.

NOTE:
 * The guard zombies cannot leave the area and will attack enemies within their range. When an enemy goes out of range, they return to the center.
 * Guards can turn invisible insidr bushes, but the outpost cannot.

Get Well (W)

(Toggle) Brian releases a wave of healing around him, rapidly healing allies by 15 (+5% per level) HP every 0.2 seconds, while also costing 5 SP per pulse.
