Avatar Playstyle: Theodora

Dear Denizens of Issilith!

As a Leader Avatar, Theodora is here to test your mettle. While her kit may not be as straightforward to utilize as the ones you can expect from Warrior Avatars or even some other Leaders, it's the beauty of her mysterious ways that lets you calculate and manipulate the board in the same way she manipulated her way to the top of the Vestige society.

If you're a meticulous planner like Theodora, you know how important every move is. For her, life is like a game of chess, every move has to be carefully planned to achieve victory. Theodora's Avatar Skill, Bind, is a really interesting tool to have at your disposal. It can help you control the lane state of the game by allowing her to deny the move action for any one local unit until your next turn at the cost of 3 energy.
Once you've decided to truly understand Theodora and become a real thorn in your opponent's side, you'll be able to choose one of her three traits. Her first and starting trait is called the Thorned Link. With this trait, planning where you're going to end your move means a lot, as this trait will give a random local friendly unit a +1 power for the duration of your opponent's turn. Theodora's second trait, Queen of Thorns, will give you +1 leadership from the start of the game. Depending on your deck and playstyle, this trait can be suitable for you, unlocking the lowest leadership threshold from the start of the game and giving you a bit more leeway in terms of levelling your attributes. Vengeful Presence, the last of Theodora's traits, will locally spawn a Spirit of Vengeance whenever Theodora is subdued. Theodora's spirit lives regardless of her physical body, so this unblockable 3/3 unit is here to help you make things right.

No matter which path you decide to take, taking advantage of two lanes and their restrictions is what makes a difference with Theodora. To fully utilize her and her kit you need to have a good understanding of the game mechanics and solid deck-building skills. And even though she is not the most beginner-friendly Avatar, if you master her thorny ways, no one will be able to stand against you.
