Evocation 2 gives you lignthing bolt. There is no way to use lightning bolt to kill more than 2 enemies a turn with a virtue.

Research Evocation 2 and send your unscripted Virtue alone vs independents. Luckily she'll know how to deal with them better than you.

Well, I suppose one could use shockwave, but as soon as you give her the alteration 3 that she needs to gain real survivability she'll also start to cast ghost wolves, which you really don't want.

Actually since the Virtue flies, she will cast her buffs, (say Mirror Image, Mistform, Air Shield, Resist Lighting) then set her to attack (1 Round) to get close to masses of the enemy, then cast with the Last order being casting spells. She'll do the smart thing and chaincast Shockwave as long as she has nearby units that the game finds feasible to cast on (I think as long as the squares are 50% full of units around her)

I've never found that to be a problem. Ghost Wolves is a low fatigue spell, anyway if it's an issue (because of high ENC, massive drain and/or low air magic), you still have the option to attack 1 round, as Zen said. Once the enemy is within range, she'll default to Shockwave (unless she chooses to melee) 99% of the time, and that's what you want.

Nope, Zen, she doesn't need this one...

Good point. But you can never be too careful eh?

What she does need is a Ring of the Snake, nothing like losing a perfectly good Virtue to a Snake Bladder Stick

Another thing. I always thought was a little bizzare. She's wielding a Flambeau and isn't fire Resistant. And if you've ever killed a Virtue with Holy Pyre, it's ironic as all hell

Well, that's why you give her a hellsword.

Good one.

Anyway I always give fire and/or cold resistance to my Virtues before they go after other nations. It's so easy to lose them to Incinerate or Frozen Heart if you're not careful enough.
