Re: Hera : Goddess of Women [HER]
Hera will be a popular Goddess I think, mainly because of her +2 RP bonus. Compared to Typhon she can draft 6 more RP worth of units! The price for that is that she doesn't have any other very special powers. And although her 7/8 isn't all that bad, she has no special attacks.
She likes company; her Close Protection talent already gives her +1 defense for a unit in her area, plus Sneak Attack (gains +1 attack as long as a friendly unit is in the same area). So not just Troops like the Phalanx talent - but any other friendly unit, which brings her to a 8/9. Meaning you have to roll a 5 and a 4 to wound her. She not the softest target among the Gods.
Next to that she also has a talent for slowing her enemies with her Perfidious skill. Especially the movement penalty will quickly make them discard AoW cards. But as it can be made undone in the same turn it's not such a harsh penalty so in most cases I think Hera could use a good bodyguard.

She is certainly one I like a lot.
Plenty of other gods actually have stats similar to hers. And likely there will be a unit in her area which boosts her attack to 8 due to sneak attack.
And she would add one defence to her guard.
That +2 recruitment is pretty big too.

Yes she can sneak away while her attacker suffers a -1. Give her some extra time.Rhalius wrote:She is certainly one I like a lot.

Close Protection is actually a lot better than Phalanx. Same for Sneak Attack. Phalanx needs a complete Troops unit around. Only one casualty in your Troops unit cancels the Phalanx bonus.
It's her unique selling point! Especialy in a 4 player game it will make a lot of difference.Rhalius wrote:That +2 recruitment is pretty big too.
12 vs 14 is a smaller difference, percentage wise, than 8 vs 10.
Like Persephone's skill will trigger a lot more often in 4-player battles, too.

Re: Hera : Goddess of Women [HER]
I predict she will be in my top 3 of most used gods, even though I want to give them all a try. The ones that I will get anyways.
(Which is the gods and titans of the god pledge + Hera)
