Re: Rampant Ninth Wizard Speculation

I've always been partial to the idea of Sonlen being the 9th wizard. I know he is an Archmage, but maybe he's the head-honcho, so he gets the title Archmage instead of a simple wizard. I'm pretty sure that's not correct (about 99.9%) but it would make me happy since Sonlen is my favorite sculpt and card in the game.

Actually, Ulginesh is the leader.

We have been told that Sonlen is not the 9th Wizard.

Two things I must now go do. 1) Learn to read the story and bios... 2) Learn to keep up with the current news. Thank you to both of you for updating me on this info. Now I'm extremely curious. I like the idea of ice/water attacks. I"m a HUGE elf fan when it comes to any game.

Elf [Wizard] Defense Aura
All elf Wizards you control within 3 clear sight spaces of Queen Whatshername roll 2 additional defense dice.

That might be all they need. I put the wizard in brackets because I haven't tested this idea out at all, and it might be an unnecessary restriction. I also made her type queen, but I guess she could just as easily be a wizard too.

You could maybe also tack on Elven Leadership, which would add 1 movement to all elves you control.
Nice concept, but why not just pick RotV Raelin in this scenario? For 10 points less, you get an aura with the same effect, but one space more range, and works for everyone. You also get one more defense, one more move, and flying. The only true advantage here is her one additional life point, and the fact that she can boost the 4th Mass., but some of them could be boosted even further by Raelin's aura. I guess that you could go as far as to say that the one less height helps avoid some ranged scuffles, but strategically there is no true benefit here.

Maybe this could give her an advantage over the Jandar's angel:

Elven Royalty Inspiration

For every elf within 3 clear sight spaces of Queen Elf Mama, roll one additional defense dice when defending with any friendly elves within 3 clear sight spaces of Queen Elf Mama, up to an additional +4 defense dice. Queen Elf Mama is not affected by her own Elven Royalty Inspiration ability.

Though it could be toned down to +3 defense, I think that this would make her at least as viable in elven builds as Raelin.

Just my , though...

Re: Rampant Ninth Wizard Speculation

If Ulginesh is the eldest and leader of the nine, that would seem to preclude a queen reporting to him. I'm thinking the ninth will not be the queen.

Re: Rampant Ninth Wizard Speculation

Three reasons for taking her over Raelin.

1. She's an elf, so she could be summoned by Emirroon.
2. She's an elf, so she could have 3 defense when standing next to Kyntela Gwyn.
3. Who says you can't get Raelin as well?

She could also have some sort of Arcane Conduit ability that makes her count as a Wizard for the purposes of Flame Strike and Rain of Flames. (or whatever J-dawn and Chardris' specials are called).

It'd be interesting if they made a queen figure and a 9th wizard. Call him Mejas the Shockinator and give him chain lightning.

Re: Rampant Ninth Wizard Speculation

Make Jexik's Queen a wizard and she offers some obvious advantages over Raelin in an elf army (as noted by Jexik).

I really hope we see the ninth wizard in wave 9. I love the elves. I don't have much to offer but what I really hope for is something totally different and new and very wizardy. The wizards are a very delicate (if not particularly strong) balance involving a bucket load of synergy such that any new addition must be made with great care, unless it is just another ranged special attack but I'm hoping for something truly different and unexpected.

HeroScape is back Baby! Whoo Hoo!!!
