How to use this hero
Home faction: Haven
Healing and Haven support
Orna suits a healing-support role in Haven, for example with the listed Sentinels and Crossbowmen. Link Heal and her Light specialty to who must survive before the next action. Base Sentinels do not have upgraded Legionnaires’ Shielding.

Suggested army and further development
The following is our recommendation. Creatures, spells and items must actually be acquired; this does not establish current inventory.

Creatures I would consider
Spells for this plan
- HealSpell granted by specialty
For recovery, account for the survivor’s wound, returned creatures’ HP and original stack count. Against enemy Undead, compare the offensive series with cheaper Sunbeam. With a mod, first check which targeting modes it retains.
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.

Detailed game plan · Orna: stronger Heal and a protected shooting start
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.
Use the specific sourced start
Orna’s specialty establishes Heal and Novice Light Magic, casting that spell one rank above her current school. The reference army lists 21 Sentinels and 20 Crossbowmen. Check the map’s actual setup before recruitment and loss planning.
Shooter protection starts with positioning
Use Sentinels to screen space against the enemy’s actual reach. The base Sentinel here does not have Legionnaire Shielding or the Heroes VI namesake’s rule. The screening stack’s facing matters: access to its flank or rear can change the price of protecting your shooters.
Heal a stack that can still contribute
Compare healing gained with the following enemy attacks and expected shots. Restoring a stack has a different value if the next hit immediately eliminates it again. Use the Heroes VII Heal card for targeting, cost and calculation rather than a namesake from another game.
Equip according to pressure on the army
Ring of Conjuring improves Magic and mana capacity. Dwarven Shield supports the led creatures’ Defense. If the screen cannot survive the required contact, pure magic equipment may not buy another shooting action; against a different pressure type, physical defense alone can also be insufficient.
