How to use this hero
Home faction: Temple
Shooting army · Lightweaver and upgrades
Choose Zenith for the ranged and support Lightweaver line. Her reference start has two Lightweaver stacks alongside Swordsmen; weigh their separate actions against the vulnerability of smaller groups. Summon Avatar is both a sourced skill and a spell, while Heavenly Blades is another listed spell. Budget the hero’s action, spell mana and creature-ability Focus separately. Hierophant healing and cleansing cannot return fallen creatures; Sun Herald offers a different offensive option.
What the profile establishes
Specialty · Weaving the Light
Lightweavers: +1 growth in owned towns. Under this hero they gain +1 Speed, +1 Initiative and +20% health; Attack and Defense increase by 1 per three levels. Enemy creatures of that type lose an equivalent amount of Attack and Defense. Consider the opponent’s composition too.
Listed starting skills
- Basic Righteousness
- Basic Summon Avatar
Suggested army and further development
The following is our recommendation. Creatures, spells and items must actually be acquired; this does not establish current inventory.
Maintain reinforcements for this line first. Then build on the listed skills and choose offensive or defensive support for the actual opponent. The specialty’s numerical effect is explained with the connected creatures.
Skills I would build around: Basic Righteousness · Basic Summon Avatar. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.
Creatures I would consider
Spells for this plan
- Summon AvatarSourced starting spell
Use the zero-mana reinforcement to attack or block, watching its received-hit count. A large health value does not override the three-hit rule.
- Heavenly BladesSourced starting spell
Exploit repeated basic attacks and an injured attacker. Against summoners, level four offers temporary-stack removal rather than merely a larger damage number.

Detailed game plan · Zenith: Lightweavers, an Avatar and three separate budgets
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.
The reference start has three real stacks
The source lists 12–17 Swordsmen and two separate stacks of 3–5 Lightweavers. Choose Zenith for Temple shooters with usable support. Weigh two ranged actions against the vulnerability of smaller stacks; a base Lightweaver can shoot or use Inner Glow. Do not automatically give the opening army its upgrades’ abilities.
The skill, the cast and the temporary creature
Zenith has Basic Summon Avatar as a skill and its corresponding spell in the sourced start. The Avatar costs no mana, but the casting opportunity still matters. It disappears after three hits from any source; higher health does not replace this rule. Use it to block or attack where it protects shooters or removes a dangerous enemy action.
Budget mana and Focus separately
Heavenly Blades is another sourced spell, with a listed cost of 21 mana. Before casting, check current reserves, an eligible attacker and opportunities for repeated basic attacks. Focus spent on Inner Glow or another creature ability is a separate budget. Heavenly Blades healing does not return fallen stack members; do not treat it as resurrection.
Choose the upgrade for the next problem
Prefer Hierophant when Holy Ablution addresses negative effects and missing HP: it costs three Focus, has a three-round cooldown and cannot restore fallen creatures. Sun Herald offers Exaltation for maximum damage and its own Damage increase after a positive effect. Before recruiting, compare opponents, cost and whether actions and Focus remain for the chosen plan.
