Vernal Naiad

To most in Jadame, water is both the source of life and the veil of oblivion. A hand soothed in water forgets its scratch, and a leap over a stream lifts one’s gloom. To a vernal naiad, it is a pure joy to take such worries away.

§ Attack patterns

Hits these hexes

Accent hex is the targeted tile; red hexes take damage, with fill intensity tracking the multiplier; the dashed hex with a dot is the attacker. Ranged attacks push the attacker back with a dashed connector; an ∞ marker on the line means the engine resolves the actual distance at attack time. Self-cast abilities stamp the attacker dot directly on the targeted tile. Cells that deviate from the 100% baseline carry a label — ¼ / ½ / ¾ for partial hits, ×N for empowered ones.
