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.

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.

She can get afflicted to hell via poison as well. Not a prob with arco, but for everyone else.

Flame helmet is my FR item of choice these days

Poison will kill her and in the hands of the right player, they will have one coming at you on turn 5ish if you try to use your Virtue in any SC capacity if you don't put one on her.
