Shaman

Perfect Incarnationpassive summon

before the battle starts, Empress Light shapes sand around a gem core into a perfect copy of herself, so the board holds two pieces with the same name. The incarnation inherits 100% of her attributes plus all items and synergy effects, takes 100% damage and lasts 15 / 30 / 45 s.

Role: an expensive ranged carry for the late game. Keep her in the back line — the copy effectively doubles the items and synergies you invest into her, which makes her a prime item holder in Civet and Shaman lineups.

Synergies

Civet · species

Synergy effect: (1) Additional activation condition: there are two or more identical Civet pieces on your board. (2) Additional activation condition: there are two or more identical Civet pieces on your board. Summons a golem dealing 100% damage for each pair of identical pieces; the golem also copies the item effect. Golem: inherits 100% of the original piece's attack, takes 100% damage and does not inherit synergy or item effects. Only one golem can exist in each group of pieces at a time.

How to play

Civet is a summoning synergy with an unusual condition: you need not just a pair of different heroes but copies of the same Civet on the board at once. For every such pair you get a golem with the original's full attack, effectively an extra body on the board. The heroes are expensive, so the build lands in the mid and late game, and it is usually taken as an amplifier rather than a core when you manage to gather several copies of the right piece.

Shaman · class

Synergy effect: (3) All allied Shamans transform into an Illusion Form 2 seconds after casting an active ability or using an active item; the Illusion Form costs 2 more than their own sell price. The cost of the Illusion Form cannot exceed the player's current level. The Illusion Form lasts 20 seconds. (6) All allied Shamans transform into an Illusion Form 2 seconds after casting an active ability or using an active item; the Illusion Form costs 2 more than their own sell price. The cost of the Illusion Form cannot exceed the player's current level. The Illusion Form lasts 20 seconds. At the same time, the equipment they wear turns into random equipment of +2 quality. Class trait: the mana cost of Shaman abilities is reduced by 25%. Shamans keep this trait after transforming.

How to play

Shamans are a transformation synergy: after casting an ability or using an active item they temporarily become a more expensive illusion, and with (6) their equipment is temporarily upgraded as well. The reduced ability cost speeds up their first casts. Cheap Shamans let you assemble (3) in the first rounds, while (6) is a late-game option with expensive heroes; the strength of the synergy grows with the player's level, which caps the cost of the illusion.
