How to use this creature in practice
Melee core and holding approaches
Spring Spirit should take reachable melee exchanges or hold an approach to more valuable units. Before advancing, identify its next target and enemies able to attack it afterward.
Watch for: Base stats are not the final exchange result. Account for retaliation, current creature count, target immunity and subsequent action order.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Combat movement 5 and Initiative 45 are separate. Choose a reachable target by current order and the actual physical or magical attack type.
- Spirit Bond: Spring Spirit and the linked stack share beneficial effects, including pain reflection. Another Spring Spirit, Mizu-Kami or an already linked stack cannot be chosen.
- Pain reflection: Returns 10% of a melee hit’s damage to its attacker. Reflecting part of a hit does not completely block the attack.

Returns 10% of a melee hit’s damage to its attacker. Reflecting part of a hit does not completely block the attack.
Spirit Form
Starts battle with 50% protection against all damage until taking an action such as attacking or moving. Wait and Defend do not by themselves end this protection.

Air vulnerability
Nagas and the relevant water spirits take 25% more Air damage. Water protection does not help against this school.

Living
Can receive applicable healing and resurrection and is affected by morale. A particular spell must still satisfy its own targeting rules.
