Life: 10
Ability: Ambush 6 - Whenever an enemy enters this cell, this creature makes a 6-power attack against that enemy.
Fleshless Reaper is particularly useful in warbands making use of cell shifting abilities such as expel, lure and scare. This allows you to shift your opponents into the Reaper's cell setting off his Ambush ability. Reapers also work well to keep out low cost units and hold scoring cells.
Knight of Strife and Joy
Rarity: Uncommon
Spawn Cost: 5
Aspect: Valor
Aspect Cost :1
Combined Cost: 5V
Power: 4
Defense: 6
Life: 7
Blade Ability: Skirmish 2 - You may move up to two target engaged allies one cell each.
Ability: Defender - This creature can't move into an enemy-occupied cell when you shift.
The Knight of Strife and Joy gives you multiple options against your opponent. Skirmish allows a player to move his other pieces where he needs them most. The Knight's 4 power gives a nice boost to any strikes you make. This piece works best if you have other pieces with the Advance ability to move the Knight forward into a contested cell, thereby overcoming his innate Defender ability.
We will be having previews, in different forms, every week. Next week, rather than having a preview, we will be releasing our Virtual Booster Pack, adding 7 new pieces to your Virtual Warband.
