Rimewing

Lore

A living bird of solid ice, she keeps to Kataris’s high ridges. Imposed waymarks have diverted her toward the passes, carrying an unnatural trace toward Hearthpine’s protected waystones. She defends her territory with a frost shard. No witness has seen her take orders from the raiders.

Combat behavior

• Flies past soldiers and out of reach of Cannon towers.

How to counter

• Flying: soldiers cannot block her. Arrows and ordinary magic work well.
• Her shard freezes one soldier. Tap the ice twice, or wait four seconds.
• Fire is effective; frost damage is strongly resisted.

Damage affinities

• Arcane: 100% damage received.
• Electric: 100% damage received.
• Explosive: 100% damage received.
• Fire: 125% damage received.
• Frost: 25% damage received.
• Physical: 100% damage received.

Frost shard

She fires at one barracks soldier on a five-second cooldown. A hit freezes the soldier for four seconds; two distinct taps thaw them early. One pending or frozen soldier per squad, followed by six-second soldier and two-second squad immunity. The shard deals no damage. Ordinary archers and mages remain her counters.
