Biography : By Wildwood standards, these seedlings are lightning fast. But these Runners are dangerous for more than their speed. Hardy and tenacious, these Runners can often survive long enough to replace a fallen Sentinel, doubling in size and in power. The Monarch may be the trunk, but it is the Runners that make enemies of the Awakened Forest quake in fear.

ASCEND 4
Instead of moving normally, a Wildwood Runner may move one space. That space may be up to 4 levels higher.

VIGOROUS GROWTH
At the start of each round, before you place Order Markers, if you have not used a Vigorous Growth power this round, you may destroy one Wildwood Runner you control that was not placed this round and replace it with one of your previously destroyed medium Wildwood Heroes. Remove all wound markers from that Hero's Army Card.

- Rulings and Clarifications -

• ERRATA - Vigorous Growth
  Vigorous Growth only affects Wildwood Runners that you control. Consequently, the power should read :
  

  [...]you may destroy one Wildwood Runner you control that was not placed this round [...]

• Wildwoods Growth : Vigorous, Verdant, Seedling...
  QUESTION - How does the Wildwood life cycle work?
  ANSWER - At the start of each round, you can, in any order:
  • Upgrade a Runner to a Sentinel
  • Upgrade a Sentinel into the Monarch
  • Place a Runner adjacent to the Monarch
  You cannot upgrade a figure you just placed, nor can you place a Runner if you just placed the Monarch. So, for example, you cannot upgrade a Runner into a Sentinel and then immediately upgrade it into the Monarch. Nor can you upgrade a Sentinel into the Monarch and then immediately place a Runner next to it.
  Any unit placed must come from your reserves. You may upgrade a Runner into a Sentinel, which puts that Runner into your reserves, then place that Runner from your reserves adjacent to the Monarch.

• Awakened Forest : Synergies inside synergies..?
  QUESTION - After taking a turn with the Wildwood Monarch, you can take a turn with Wildwood Sentinel using Trunk of the Awakened Forest. After the Sentinel turn, could you then use Branch of the Awakened Forest to take a turn with a Wildwood Runner?
  ANSWER - Yes !
