Player reviews

Defenders write: “Jadwiga buys time” - her slowdowns prolong the assault and allow the alliance to bring in reinforcements. The attackers call it a “thorn”: it is impossible to kill such a garrison quickly.

Adviсe

Ideal for protecting passages and flags in the path of enemy advances. Do not use it in the field - its control almost does not work there. Mixed troops enhance her auras.
