Unit Summary: This felt like it could’ve gone either way throughout, but once I was down to melee figures, it did feel like tough sledding. I think I’m going to limit Grasping Plant Tendrils to 2 figures chosen at a time to make it feel a little less dominant (and give fewer chances). If she feels too strong in public testing, I may lower the range on the special attack as well, but I like that it’s a powerful last minute thing.
