Echidna : Mother of Monsters [BG]

Great creature, I really like this one. Great pose too. Seems very hard to damage with other monsters, and that poison will be usefull against anyone she faces.

Also nice that she gives an art of war card, few creatures do that.

Yes Echidna is rather WOW, both her sculpt and her abilities!!

Her -2 damage vs monsters amost makes her immune to monsters. As said before, an AoW card is very rare for a monster. 5 Actvity Cards are also a big plus. She doesn't do that much direct damage for a 4RP, although her Torment talent certainly helps. Her posion tokens definitely add something extra to that; an extra 5 dice attack will at least do 1 extra damage.

Still, her "unique selling point" is that she's especially effective vs monsters. See you opponent pick a few big ones: Echidna is a solid choice. Against an army with mainly heroes she loses her effectivity and another 4RP monster would probably be more viable.

Theowulff, you are doing a great job suggesting playing tips for each and everyone! That being said, Echidna is pretty cool!

Yes Teowulff, your assesment of every creature is really helpfull. <3

I agree the main incentive for picking Echidna will be if the opponent pick some heavy monsters.

And the mini looks very nice. Will be nice to paint.
