Do the effects of BoF stack with each other? (in General)

Let's say I put a (2) BoF on the first two minions of my four minion team. Will the third and fourth minion gain the bonuses from both shoes? Can the same be said about AoL's as well? Thanks :)

No it is all on the First Minion. However every Item that gives leadership will stack on the First minion and apply to all after it though :-)

I see thanks lol. So that means placing the leadership items on my second minion will not have any effect?

would it take effect after the first minion dies, making the second minion the new leader?

Yes, after the first minion dies, then the second minion with leadership will take over. (Assuming its not dead and is second in minion order)

Sorry I meant to ask if there was no leadership on the first minion but the second minion only, would the leadership only take effect after this first minion without leadership dies? Or would having leadership only on the second minion take its effect

If you put it on the second it will only take affect after the first dies. Dont matter what is on the first.

To rephrase and clarify what others have already said, the game looks at the uppermost (frontmost) minion that's still alive (and that minion only) in order to dispense leadership effects to the rest (and only the rest) of the minions that are still alive (i.e. having a single minion left alive with leadership gear on it would be pointless).

Thanks for the help guys. Appreciate it :)
