Selectable name profile

How to use this hero

Home faction: Nature / Preserve

Nature caster and army support

Choose a Druid around available Nature spells and an army that can use them. Herbalism supports mana capacity and daily recovery. Keep temporary combat summons separate from permanent reinforcements and from creatures’ own mana.

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.

Compare the two advanced-class routes below. They require acquiring and developing the relevant primary trees; the linked profile explains prerequisites and the exact effect.

Skills I would build around: Basic Nature Magic · Basic Herbalism. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.

Two further development routes

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

  • StoneskinLearning option · not confirmed in spellbook

    Protect an important recipient of physical attacks. Higher physical Defense alone does not answer strong spells; compare suitable magic protection.

  • Summon WolfLearning option · not confirmed in spellbook

    Plan around both strikes of the Wolf’s attack. Secure a safe exchange against dangerous retaliation; the additional hit does not guarantee survival.

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.

Reference ↗

Roster and source scope

308 profiles: 277 normal name/portrait profiles and 31 documented campaign forms including The Gathering Storm and Winds of War. Normal profiles use 11 class baselines; campaign starts do not inherit them automatically. Bohb has a separately sourced five-school start. Selectable and TGS Dogwoggle have separate portraits. This is not every NPC or every mission-specific starting state.

Development and equipment suggestions are our analysis of the listed profile. A mission may alter the starting state; each relationship distinguishes school access, an actually learned spell and a future acquisition option.
