Best... cleanup fig... ever?

[GromBloodboy]

Probaly. She is simply amazing. I can't imagine here on a dungeon map. She would tear up heroes.

[ranoobu]

Blend into shadow is cool. It sounds refreshing.. although I don't know all my units yet..

[Tai-Pan]

I'm liking her, which surprised me. I figured she'd be a rather bland or ineffective figure.

On a shadowy map, 110 points gets you 7 attack, 5 defense, and a non-height sensitive teleport move of 8. Wow.

Will it be enough to get around only being able to attack once? Against heroes, I think so, against squads, maybe not.

I think on a shadowy map, she'll play a lot like Cyprien, moving quickly around the outside edges snipping off a piece here and there until the army is really hurting.

[Kroz]

All of the figures in this wave are amazing. Absolutely amazing. Her ability to PLACE her terrain on the map resolves the problem of terrain specific abilities.

[Margloth]

Best thing is she can make the map (well, partly) shadowy.

She's an assassin, like she says... wait until a wounded, high cost figure gets close, drop a shadow, and strike...

[Margloth]

Okay, question...

Suppose Mika is moving through a canyon-like terrain... level 3 hills on both sides of the terrain she's on... (something like this..
level 3\_/level3
..........^
Mika's space)

Can she drop a tile? Shadow would fit, but anyone who's made a map knows it might take moving the terrain... I'm guessing that's a no?

[Kroz]

I'd say you could because it still fits.

[Evisceraxe]

Yeah it should as long as the other terrain is the same after the tile is placed.

[rouby44]

Probably the strongest assassin-type figure in the game now. I haven't been a fan of terrain-dependent abilities in the past, but I do like hers. Thematically and mechanically it works this time around.

[Yodaking]

I look forward to playing a game with her in which 80% of the map is covered in shadow tiles. A dark dungeon or night time senerio.
