Fits the Bill

The back of her card continues the trend of simple but effective with two useful character traits.

Her first character trait Loved Creature is a mainstay of many mascots within Guild Ball. Damaging Frelsi gives the rest of her team +1 TAC, making opponents think twice about threatening her. After all, a TAC bonus is a particularly scary prospect in a Guild of ranged damage dealers.

Her second trait is an obvious one given her avian nature. This great eagle has Flying allowing her to ignore terrain and other models when moving. This allows her to consistently get the most out of her high movement. No matter what happens; you can’t take the sky from her.

Toucan Play at That Game

At this point we’ve covered her entire card and we would be talking about what’s coming next week, asking for your opinion, directing you to the store etc…However there’s still more to cover with this eagle! Devana brings some strong interactions with Frelsi that would be ill-eagle not to cover.

Devana’s character play Hack Back [Frelsi] is the first and most obvious of these interactions, allowing Frelsi to immediately dodge 5”. This allows Frelsi to move a total of 14” during a turn, resulting in an 18” goal threat in a turn even before you take Teamwork dodges into consideration.

The second of these character plays, Air Mail, though not limited to Frelsi, has obviously strong interactions with her. If Devana has possession of the ball she can use Air Mail to place it in possession of another friendly model within a ridiculous 14” range. This means Frelsi doesn’t even have to go collect the ball, instead Devana can load her up with the payload she needs to score.

The final interaction between her and Devana is the damage and TAC bonus Frelsi provides her via Assist [Frelsi], further increasing Devana’s already formidable damage output. Sometimes applying Assist to an enemy can be difficult, but the combination of Frelsi’s high movement and the Flying trait make it easier. To top it all off Devana can move Frelsi during her own activation via Hack Back, keeping her true target hidden until it’s too late.

With those interactions covered, that’s us done for this week. We’ve now revealed a playable line-up for the Falconers Guild so you can get some games in! Join us next week when we finish off the Falconer’s Guild reveals with the double reveal of both Ikaros AND Rundaas! Alternatively, catch the Guild Ball livestream later today (4PM BST) where developers Steve Margetson and Bryce Johnston will be putting the Falconer’s Guild through their paces against the Brewer’s Guild.
