* AsteroidsMonster: The Legion of Wax of the Melting Remnant Clan is designed around this mechanic. When the base unit is defeated, it instead splits into two units with slightly lesser stats. When each of these units is defeated, they split again into two smaller, again slightly weaker units. Despite the reduction in base stats in each split, all "offspring" retain the base enhancements and bonuses obtained prior to and during the battle. With the proper upgrades, buffing, and/or a key artifact, this can result in [[GameBreaker an obscenely powerful, nigh-unending wall of fighters that can absorb countless attacks and deal incredible damage]].
