Waku Hero Highlight, and Treasure Card 2 Votes part 2

Good day Wanderers.
Time to meet the new master of mystic arts for LaCluck's Revenge!
Waku The Frilled-Neck Lizard Witchdoctor
The king of chaos. The mystic of mishaps. The diviner of the dead. Dealings of undead, ghosts, and demons are common place with Waku and his magic studies.
Many find his customs unsettling or think Waku may have a few screws loose, but Waku is a master of blurring the magical lines of life and death. Over 100 years ago LaCluck’s crew stole valuable magical artifacts from his ancestors.
The absence of these artifacts have created a magical unbalance for his home. Now that LaCluck’s ship has resurfaced, Waku has joined the Wanderers in hopes to settling the score and return peace to his home.
Prototype Card
Waku play's quite differently than previous Wander magic focused characters. While he has a low defense, his high HP allows him some flexibility with his abilities.
Waku's starting weapon is his poison spray spell. When every Waku succesfully wounds an enemy with Critical roll, he causes all enemies in that space to suffer Poison. When an enemy is poisoned, the enemy will suffer 1 wound after it activates. This will continue until the enemy is defeated. If an enemy is defeated by poison, Waku will gain the experience.
At level 1, Waku can choose to take Corrosive Aura which will weaken all nearby enemy's defense or Lifetap allowing Waku to steal the essence of the enemies he defeats with a critical attack roll.
At level 3. Waku may learn Life Siphon allowing him to self sacrifice and heal his allies. This ability combined with Lifetap, makes Waku a very powerful support character. Waku can also instead choose to gain Sleeping Powder to gain better control over the enemies. When an enemy suffers Sleep, that enemy is placed on it's side and a sleep token is placed next to the miniature. While sleeping, the enemy has -1 Defense and does not activate until a hero attacks them.
At level 4, Waku may use his once per encounter ability to take control of an enemy on the board as his Familiar for the rest of the encounter. Waku will be able to spend actions to move and attack other enemies with his new familiar. The stats of the familiar are determined by the stats of that enemy type. Waku may also choose to take Sludge Bomb to knockover entire spaces of enemies after a sucessful critical attack roll. This combined with sleep can become a power house of board control.
At level 5, Waku can harness the power of the souls of his defeated enemies to increase to longevity of his party's morale.

almost 2 years ago
– Mon, Nov 07, 2022 at 01:01:58 AM
Good day Wanderers. Today let's dive into another hero highlight with Amanda, the mongoose monster hunter.
Amanda Hero Highlight
Amanda was born at sea to a humble sailing merchant family. As a young child, her families' ship was taken down due to a violent storm. When the storm cleared, her family was no where to be found as she drifted at sea with the remains of the family ship. She was discovered by The Shikari, a legendary hunters guild who travel the world slaying terrible beasts for hire.
The Shikari trained Amanda as one of their own, taking her on expeditions. Amanda became a child prodigy among the guild. At the age of 13, Amanda slayed her first beast, a massive black lion shark, which gained her the nickname of Amanda Sharktooth.
As Amanda reach adulthood, she no longer wished to pressure others for payment to protect the people. She left the Shikari and joined The Wanderers. Amanda now uses her skills learned from the Shikari as a member of The Wanderer's Guild sailing to distant lands and slaying evil foes.
Amanda is a master tactician who knows the best way to take down any kind of foe. With 4 Knowledge, Amanda is the most knowledgeable Wanderer in the LaCluck's Revenge core box
At level 1, Amanda can either use her lightning reflexes with Lunge allowing her to attack with Melee weapons from 1 space further away, or stay back with a ranged weapon cleaving through the enemies. When ever Amanda wounds an enemy with a Critical Attack Roll, she does 1 wound to another enemy in the same space per Critical rolled.
At level 3, Amanda can become ruthless with her assault gaining +1 Attack and +1 Re-Roll, or she can gain access to Traps. Amanda can spend 1 Action to place a Trap token in an unoccupied space with in two spaces from her. When an enemy enters the space the trap is triggered causing all enemies in the space to suffer Knockdown.
At Level 4, Amanda may thrive under pressure and gain +2 Attack when she is close to more than 1 enemy, or toughen up with her resiliencey.
At Level 5, Amanda becomes a killing machine with Savage Strike gaining her a free attack action after defeating an enemy.

Arctus Highlight and Treasure Hunt Part 2!
almost 2 years ago
– Sat, Nov 05, 2022 at 05:42:45 PM
Good day Wanderers!
Lets dive deeper into our Kickstarter Exclusive hero Arctus The Rat Plague Knight.
Arctus The Rat Plague Knight
Arctus was once a devout paladin that stood as a proud protector of his people. That all changed when a vile pestilence was unleashed upon the the town by a corrupt Druid that was spreading death across the land. Arctus fought valiantly to save the town against this dark magic to try and save the innocents. In the end Arctus was the only survivor. In his deep sorrow, Arctus lost his faith as a paladin and became one with the darkness that surrounded him. Arctus was reborn as the Plague Knight, using the vile magic that took his people as his new strengths to seek revenge on the vile Druid and stop any who wish to harm the innocent.
Prototype Card
Arctus is a tanky hero full of nasty abilities to weaken the enemies and support his allies.
At level 1, Arctus can use Flea Ridden to lower the defense to all enemy models close to him or imbue his weapon with toxic magic causing poison to those he lands a Critical blow against.
At level 3, Arctus may siphon the life essence of his defeated foes to heal his own wounds or further spread his poisons when defeating an enemy with a Crit.
At level 4, Arctus gains Traps! Traps are a new kind of Hero mechanic being introduced in LaCluck's Revenge. When Arctus defeats an enemy, the enemy model is replaced with a Trap token. If an enemy enters the space or starts their activation in the space of a Trap token, the trap goes off. Arctus's Traps will deal 1 automatic Wound to all enemies in that space. If things are looking tough, Arctus may increase his defenses gaining +1 Defense, +1 HP, and become immune to all status effects!
At level 5, Arctus becomes surrounded by a Malicious Miasma that will automatically wound all Close enemies with every attack action.
Arctus has definitely been a crowd favorite among our playtesting. We can't wait for you all to be able to get him onto the table!
