Skeletal Warlord (Or Necromancer Revamp) Rarity: Rare Faction: Forsaken Wastes Race: Skeleton, Undead Nora Cost: Low DAM: 6 SPD: 4 RNG: 5-6 DEF: 2 HP: 40 Abilities Attack - Physical Sustain: Ichor: Poison Boon of the Undead Upgrades Sustain: Devour Skeleton Sustain: Bulwark Skeleton Sustain: Easy Target Summon Skeleton 3 Questions What role is this Rune intend to fill? This unit will be used as a non-boosting support role in a skeleton BG. Why isn't this Rune's role being fulfilled by similar Runes? Because Boost Skeleton is currently seen as the only available support ability in skeleton BGs. This role could be adapted to the Necromancer rather than a new unit though, as she would fit this type of support. How is this Rune different from what is already in Pox Nora? It uses Sustain primarily as a purely supportive champion. The idea is to tactically place the sustain effects to guide combat from the back of the lines. Poxnora lacks many viable support champions. How is this Rune competitive and why would it be used over other Runes? It is theme specific and is thus easier to incorporate into a BG. It would be used over other runes for support due to the unique synergy with skeletons. (The ichor synergises with Skeletons current use of Ichor in their theme.) What makes this Rune unique and fun to use? It allows predictable (by the enemy) but noticeable buffs to allied units that can be placed strategically for the current situation. The strategy will make it fun for the player. Being able to see it coming will make it fun for the enemy (or, at least not frustratingly random).
