The Meaning of Liff - MPQ edition

Posts: 123 Tile Toppler
For those not familiar with The Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams, it is a dictionary of words culled from signposts around the world and given meanings for which there was not previously a word.
I am sure we have all had common experiences during MPQ games for which there should be a word to describe them.
Please post suggestions here.
My suggestion
Shattern: - The combined feeling of Melancholy and rage felt when the latest 4* character in your roster exceeds the level of your oldest (and possibly vaulted) character.
I.E- "when I champed Sandman over my 0/1/3 Antman I felt completely Shattern."

Slivertrigger... when the AI has a sliver of life remaining, yet mysteriously (magically?) suddenly has enough AP for one final attack before dying.

Boostrition - When you use boosts for a specific fight (e.g. Clash of the Titans) and keep wasting them for all subsequent trivial fights because you hit "Fight" too fast, until they go down to 0 and fall off automatically.3
