Hey there! So, you're diving into Songs of Conquest and want to know about Saria? She's a pretty cool hero for the Kokiri faction, and I'm happy to walk you through what makes her special. Saria is a Tier 3 hero, and she brings some really unique stuff to the table for the Kokiri. Think of her as a boost to your magic game and a way to make your ranged units even better. ### Gameplay Bonuses Saria gives you a few key advantages: * Magic Defense and Damage Focus: As the name suggests, Saria buffs up your magic damage and magic defense. This is great for when you're facing enemies who rely on spells or if you want to dish out more magical pain yourself. * Summon Saria: This lets you bring Saria herself onto the battlefield as a ranged hero. She attacks with her bow and arrows, so she can contribute to your offense from a distance. * Enchantress: This is a really neat one! Saria allows you to train Enchantresses. These aren't your typical combat units; they're Mages that have a chance to deflect ranged attacks right back at the enemy. Super useful for protecting your own ranged troops! * Fairy Affinity: Get ready for some freebies! With Saria, your Fairy Guardians are granted instantly and for free. That's a big economic and tactical advantage. * Fairy Bow: This bonus is huge for your ranged units. Your Emerald Archers, Settlements, and Outposts will get Fairy Bows, which means they'll have increased attack range and a faster attack rate. Your archers will be peppering the enemy before they even get close! ### As a Unit When Saria herself is on the field, she's a quick ranged hero. She's got a powerful long-ranged magic attack and can even use Camouflage, which is handy for repositioning or setting up ambushes. #### Description Lore-wise, Saria is known as the Sage of the Forests and was heir to the Great Deku Tree. She's described as optimistic, even after facing death. She also had a real love for music and was skilled with instruments like the Ocarina and Fiddle. ### Gallery Here you can see Saria's unit card and selection card. There's also a look at her unit card from before a faction overhaul, which is interesting to see how she's evolved! ### Navigation At the bottom, you'll find navigation links to other Kokiri units and heroes, like the Know-It-All Brothers, Fado-la, Makar, Mido, and the Titan Kasuto. It's a good way to see how Saria fits into the broader Kokiri faction. So, that's Saria! She's a fantastic hero if you like to play with magic and want to give your ranged units a serious edge. Let me know if you have any other questions!
