How to use this hero

Home faction: Life / Haven

Life support and mana management

Use a Priest to support the army with Life spells actually learned. The listed Healing skill expands mana and recovery; a particular healing spell still needs to be in the book. Protect the hero so support remains available next round.

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 Life Magic · Basic Healing. 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

  • Bind WoundLearning option · not confirmed in spellbook

    Cheaply save a wounded hero or an expensive surviving creature. If Poison or Plague must be removed, compare Heal.

  • BlessLearning option · not confirmed in spellbook

    Prefer a large stack with a wide damage range that will attack repeatedly. A fixed-damage stack without Curse may gain nothing merely from selecting its maximum.

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.

Normal hiring: Haven · Life · 1,500 gold. All locations and prices →

Equipment suggestions for the plan (2)

Editorial suggestions based on sourced magic or an army plan. These are not starting inventory or guaranteed finds. Check acquisition, slot and rules on the item card.

    For a longer spellcasting expedition. Capacity and daily recovery are separate effects; compare current reserves with the next battle.

    The wearer gains ten mana capacity and a two-point spell-cost discount.

    For a longer spellcasting expedition. Capacity and daily recovery are separate effects; compare current reserves with the next battle.

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.
