Druid

Balanced through shapeshifting: Shape Shift decides whether you absorb hits in Bear form, deal Maul damage in Cat form, or heal in base form.

• Cat Form: +2 on EVERY attack plus a Wound on top
• Bear Form turns Thick Hide into a real defense (4 dice, prevention per paw/leaf)
• Protect the Forest: 6 undefendable + Regenerate + Shape Shift

• Small base damage (Ferocity 4–6) – without Cat Form the pressure is missing
• In plain Druid Form Thick Hide blocks almost nothing (2 dice, only counters)

• Ferocity

  Standard route

  Reliable damage route for turns without special setup.

  Take it as soon as 3× 🐅 Claw is mostly on the table after roll 1 (98% across all three rolls): safe damage beats rerolling working dice for a harder route.

  3× 🐅 Claw · 4 damage · wound

• Wild Realignment

  Setup

  Setup attack: places effects that later turns rely on.

  Play it early while turns remain for the effect to pay off – as the last action of a close game Wild Realignment deals no damage.

  1× 🐅 Claw + 2× 🐻 Paw + 1× 🍃 Leaf

• Nature's Cure

  Burst

  High single-turn damage that locks several dice.

  Only go for it when at most one symbol of 2× 🐅 Claw + 2× 🍃 Leaf is missing after roll 1 (49% across all three rolls); otherwise you give up an already safe route.

  2× 🐅 Claw + 2× 🍃 Leaf · 5 damage

• Maul

  Burst

  High single-turn damage that locks several dice.

  Only go for it when at most one symbol of 4× 🐻 Paw is missing after roll 1 (54% across all three rolls); otherwise you give up an already safe route.

• Forest's Call

  Burst

• Protect the Forest

  Burst

• Forest's Answer

  Burst

  Large straight (5 in a row) · 7 damage

• Wrath of Nature!

  Finisher

  Ultimate: the board's highest damage value with the hardest requirement.

  Do not force 5× 🍃 Leaf (1% across all three rolls): only when the requirement is reachable after roll 1 is giving up the safe route worth it.

  5× 🍃 Leaf · 12 damage

• Shape Shift (positive): spent to enter Cat Form.
• Regenerate (positive) and Wound (negative, via Ferocity) are the recorded statuses.
• Cat Form pays off once at least two more attack turns follow – +2 per attack amortizes the setup turn.
• Shape Shift: Wild Realignment +2, Forest's Call, Protect the Forest, Forest's Answer, ultimate +2.
• Shape Shift: Cat BEFORE your attack turn (+2 and Wound), Bear BEFORE dangerous enemy rounds – 'any time' includes mid-turn on their turn.

Thick Hide: 2 dice, 1 counter per claw – in Bear Form 4 dice plus 1 prevention per paw and leaf (~1.3). The Bear is your defense, not the leaf.
