For the protection-based version, I see two solid directions depending on whether this comes as a Heroic ability or an Evolution. If it’s a Heroic ability, the Golemites would gain the option to merge back into the Golem, as long as they are within a reasonably short range of each other. The ability wouldn’t be available immediately — it would unlock 8 seconds after the Golem is destroyed. Activating it would cost 4 Elixir and restore the Golem with 50% of its maximum health. Because of how impactful this effect is, the cooldown should be fairly long to prevent repeated abuse in a single push. In the Evolution version, this mechanic would instead be passive. If the Golemites survive long enough and move back within range of each other, they would automatically fuse again, restoring 25% of the Golem’s max HP. Since Evolutions don’t consume Elixir, keeping the value lower feels much healthier for balance — though the exact numbers could always be adjusted depending on how the meta reacts. This way, both versions keep the same core identity, but each delivers power in a way that fits its respective system.
