Headless Horseman

A haunting snowball: stack Dreadful, send the Head wandering – his big turns grow with the stockpile.

If after roll 1 5× Scare for Dreadful Charge! are reachable. Keep 5× Scare and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Dreadful Charge! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Spectral Assault. Dreadful Charge! deals a documented 14 damage, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.

• Spectral Assault scales with Dreadful: 8 base + 1 die per token (~10+)
• The defense grows too: 1 die + 1 per Dreadful (up to 5)
• Grim Pursuit: an extra roll attempt OR +1–5 after the attack
• Haunted Head + Terrorize: 3 undefendable, isolated source, free target choice

• At 0–1 Dreadful he is below average – the stockpile IS the hero
• No healing, no avoidance

Requirement: 3× 🪓 Axe · Chance: 98.4%
