How to use this hero
Home faction: Order / Academy
Order support for a shooting army
Aine makes sense as Order support for a shooting army. Precision and Blur are learning options from the sourced school; check the spellbook first. Protect the hero, who is physically present on the battlefield.
The selectable names in this class share the listed starting skills. Compare current development, army and intended advanced class when choosing.
What the profile establishes
Listed starting skills
Suggested army and further development
The following is our recommendation. Creatures, spells and items must actually be acquired; this does not establish current inventory.
Open the four-step plan below. It separates the actual reference start from spells and equipment that must still be acquired.
Skills I would build around: Basic Order Magic · Basic Enchantment. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.
Two further development routes
- Battle Mage
Teaches Magic Fist and strengthens Magic Fist and Ice Bolt by twenty percent.
- Illusionist
Strengthens illusion-creating spells by twenty percent.
These are proposed development routes; the advanced class is not presented as the hero’s starting state.
Creatures I would consider
Spells for this plan
- PrecisionLearning option · not confirmed in spellbook
Use it on a key shooter with line of sight. Provide protection against melee engagement too; stronger shooting does not prevent that threat.
- BlurLearning option · not confirmed in spellbook
Protect the main recipient of enemy volleys. If enemies can engage in melee, prepare movement or other cover as well.
Equipment I would compare
Compare effect, slot and acquisition conditions on the item card. A suggestion does not establish that the hero starts with it.

A specialty target, conversion and tactical example are different relationships. Check conversion costs and compare individual upgrade forms on creature cards. A tactical example is not a confirmed starting army.
Detailed game plan · Aine: Order Magic, shooters and caster survival
The following is our tactical analysis of the sourced profile. Choices depend on the actual map, learned spells and army; linked cards provide rules and references.
A skill is not spellbook contents
Aine has Basic Order Magic and Basic Enchantment. Precision and Blur are specific level-one acquisition options here, not confirmed starting spells. Check the actual spellbook and the town or map’s offerings before committing to the plan.
Choose the right Precision recipient
Halflings and Titans are shooters; Mages and Genies use their own spellcasting. Do not choose a Precision recipient just from its appearance or magical name. For an eligible shooter it improves Ranged Attack and removes ordinary penalties, but does not replenish shots or solve a melee threat.
Aine is physically on the battlefield
Check enemy reach, line of sight and the following action order before the hero acts. A cast pays off only if its recipient gets a useful action afterward. If the enemy can eliminate Aine first, compare protection, movement or defense with the shooting buff itself.
Keep each caster’s mana separate
Cap of Knowledge and Ring of Flares modify the wearer’s reserve or costs. They do not automatically increase a Genie’s or Mage’s mana. Compare two real reserves and two separate actions when choosing between Aine’s support and a creature spell; a town recruitment alternative does not supply both branches for free.
