Character Bio - "The Enchantress' parentage is unknown, though it is known she was born in Asgard and has a sister by the name of Lorelei. Amora began learning magic as an apprentice of
Karnilla, Queen of the Norns but was eventually banished. She continued learning magic on her own, notably by seducing others well versed in magic and learning their secrets. She is sent by
Odin to eliminate
Thor's human love interest, whom Odin sees as a distraction. When she fails in this task, the Enchantress is exiled to Earth by Odin where she joins the Masters of Evil. As a member of the Masters of Evil, the Enchantress repeatedly faced the Avengers. Enchantress is especially affronted by the mortal
Scarlet Witch’s attempts to subvert her divine spells, though she is occasionally genuinely challenged by Scarlet Witch's mutant gifts." (Wikipedia, 2012)

-Rulings and Clarifications-- Q - If Enchantress Soul Swaps a figure with multiple attacks or that has a power that says "after attacking" during its turn, can that figure continue its turn after being Soul Swapped?
A - No. You no longer control the figure once its Soul Swapped, therefore its turn is immediately ended.
- Q - If Enchantress has Soul Swapped a figure with an opponent's figure and Enchantress is destroyed, when you swap the figures back, do you remove the OMs from their cards just like when they are initially swapped?
A - When figures are returned, yes, they follow the same swapping procedure.

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-- Enchantment is an extremely powerful ability and a build containing Enchantress should be built around leveraging this power. The units that benefit most from Enchantment are ones that either can get multiple normal attacks or double skulls (Wolverine, Punisher, Merlyn, Mr. Zsasz, etc), or figures that have special powers that triggers if they deliver a wound or roll enough skulls (MODOK, Black Canary, Red Skull, Swordsman, etc). As usual, figures with ranged attacks will have an easier time leveraging the attack bonus.
- In higher point games, bring several of these figures so you have flexibility in attack options, and so that your opponent can't reduce the effectiveness of Enchantment by taking out just one hero.
- You also want at least one hero in an Enchantress build that's there primarily to act as a potential Soul Swap target. If you use Deadpool (a good Enchantment target) then Bob, Agent of Hydra is a great option. Atom is a good pick because he can move along with Enchantress without using Order Markers. Beast Boy (Pterodactyl) is another good choice, as he can Carry another figure when he moves up.
- Figures that can negate a wound, such as Jocasta, Superman (I), Bizarro, or the 5th Precinct Beat cops, make for a nasty combination with Soul Swap.
- Don't forget that Soul Swap is a one-time power. You don't want to use it on a weak hero that your opponent sends out as a sacrificial lamb. As long as the power is in play, you can force your opponent to adjust for it.
- Because of Magical Defense and her high life, Enchantress is a relatively safe place to place Order Markers, allowing you to distribute Enchantment attacks as you see fit. If you have the right heroes alongside her, don't be afraid to have Enchantress at the front lines absorbing big hits. If Enchantress is close to the front, it's harder for your opponent to find places to attack from that are more than 4 spaces away from Enchantress, and therefore safe from Soul Swap.
