Witch of Warwick


Card Overview

Stats

  • Mana Cost: 5
  • Type: Magic
  • Stats at Max Level 10:
    • Magic Damage: 2
    • Speed: 4
    • Armor: 0
    • Health: 5

Abilities

  1. Life Leech:

    • Increases the Witch’s health by a portion of the magic damage she deals, allowing her to grow stronger and sustain herself throughout the match.
  2. Bloodlust:

    • Each time she lands a killing blow, all her stats (Damage, Speed, and Health) increase, making her a powerhouse in drawn-out battles.
  3. Affliction:

    • Prevents her target from healing, cutting off recovery options for her foes.
  4. Poison:

    • Inflicts additional damage to her target each turn, bypassing armor and dealing consistent pressure.

Strategic Analysis

The Witch of Warwick is a lethal mix of offense and utility. Her Life Leech ensures she can sustain herself, particularly when facing opponents with low magic resistance. This makes her an excellent choice for longer battles where her health pool can grow exponentially.

The Bloodlust ability enhances her potential dramatically, rewarding her for securing kills by amplifying her damage, speed, and survivability. Combine this with Affliction to shut down healing strategies, and Poison for continuous damage over time, and you have a card that’s equally adept at dealing damage and disrupting opponents.

Her speed of 4 at max level gives her a competitive edge, ensuring she can strike before slower units. Though she lacks armor, her ability to leech health mitigates this weakness, provided she can deal consistent damage.


Key Pairings

  1. Protective Tanks:

    • Pair her with units that have Taunt to draw attacks away from her and give her time to unleash her abilities.
  2. Amplify Allies:

    • Amplify synergizes well with her Affliction and Poison, maximizing the utility of these effects.
  3. Debuff Units:

    • Combine with allies that reduce enemy speed to help her strike first, or reduce magic resistance to amplify her damage output.
  4. Speed Buffers:

    • Pairing her with Swiftness units ensures she retains her offensive edge over enemies with comparable speed.

Battle Applications

  • Healing-Centric Opponents:

    • With Affliction, she’s a natural counter to teams relying on healing to stay alive.
  • Tough Tanks:

    • Use her Poison to wear down heavily armored units over time while bypassing their defenses.
  • Longer Battles:

    • The Witch thrives in extended matches due to her Life Leech and scaling potential from Bloodlust.

Closing Thoughts

The Witch of Warwick is an adaptable and potent card for Death Splinter players who value utility as much as raw power. Her synergy of Bloodlust, Life Leech, and disruptive abilities like Affliction and Poison make her a consistent threat in battles. Whether you’re targeting healers, wearing down tanks, or growing into a magic juggernaut, this Witch is ready to deliver.
