Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Battle of Salamis

    Wounds some of her own troop, then strikes up to three enemy marches in a fan with direct skill damage.

  2. Skill 2
    Bow and Mount

    Her archers gain defence and health.

  3. Skill 3
    Ally of Xerxes

    As garrison commander her troop takes less normal attack damage, and basic attacks may stop the target's basic attacks for a second.

  4. Skill 4
    Queen of Caria

    On nearing a full rage bar she may silence her own march for three seconds in return for a large damage boost.

  5. Awakened

    Basic attacks may burn the target for three seconds, though it also deals more skill damage while it burns.
