Herald

Cloaks friends, recalls a field, holds a moment

RENDER 01Herald // render 01

Role

The Herald is a support flier and the strongest shape the Choir can reach. It cloaks friendly units near it, uses Recall to pull friendly units from anywhere to its position, and can drop Stillness over an area to freeze all units there, friend or enemy. It has a weak long-range cannon for steady pressure, not for trading.

Look

A tall upright glass kite rises like a cathedral window in the air. The alloy frame is broken into a few pieces that float apart, and below there is a slender keel hanging off centre.
