Season 2 · Complexity: 3/6 · Health / CP (1v1): 50 / 2 CP
How to play Seraph
Overview & game plan
An angelic striker: heavy blade hits, flexible healing and Flight dodges on a 6.
If after roll 1 5× Pendant for Split the Heavens! are reachable. Keep 5× Pendant and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Split the Heavens! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Highest Power. Split the Heavens! deals a documented 13 damage, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.
Strengths
- Holy Blade lands reliably with 3 of 6 blade faces (5–7)
- Holy Presence ticks 1 damage on ALL opponents each upkeep
- Blessing of Divinity (ultimate) survives the killing blow at 1
Weaknesses
- Angelic Mantle prevents only ~1 on average
- Pendant is the rarest face: Highest Power (4×) and the ultimate (5×) are reroll projects

Concrete playing rules
Mid game
Use Purify / Holy Smite / Triumphant for reliable undefendable damage.
Late game
Use Highest Power / Archangel's Will for Blinding Light, Split the Heavens! as the closing turn.
Statuses & timing
- Blinding Light: negative, triggered by Highest Power and Archangel's Will.
- Flight: Glorious, Highest Power, Archangel's Will, ultimate, Holy Smite with a wing.
- Flight: Throwing several at once raises the 6 odds (1 token ≈ 31%, 2 ≈ 52%) – go double against big hits.
