The Virtue kills _1_ unit a turn.

No wonder you had bad experiences with her. That should be 5-10 kills a turn after you've researched a couple levels in Alteration and Evocation.

...not to get into the Shedu-debate (imho OK, probably has its uses), but...

A Virtue pretender in MP around turn 10 or so with indy 9. She's been in the field since turn 3 and not a single affliction. Currently competes of high HoF positions with a group of pre-2.12 created VQs.

Of course, it just may be that fortune favors the fool...

That's only possible once you reach evocation 5. This is certainly not going to happen by turn 4.

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.
