Brumal Naiad

Water sustains life, but it can just as easily take it away. Cold, cruel and unyielding, a single shard of ice can spell the doom of a nation. To a brumal naiad, only those who survive the winter deserve to endure.

§ 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.
