Garmir

Watcher of the Icemanes

The darkness growing from the Twilight Woodlands has reached the mountainous regions to the West. If you look closely in the forever winter darkness, the majestic frost dragon, Garmir, can be seen flying at the head of its pack through the pale moonlight. Its Frostwolf Howl is a dreadful roar that not only calls on its followers, but also warns its enemies.

Design Intent and Strategy

Garmir is the guardian of the Icemane wolves. In battle, it serves as a scout, eliminating key targets in an instant, then recalling back to safety. Recall is the key spell that allows Garmir to quickly escape danger. On the first cast of Recall, Garmir places a waypoint that it can teleport back to when the spell is cast a second time. Its main offensive spell is Ice Mist, a targeted blast that strikes two towers for high damage. Place a waypoint in a safe location, then use Ice Mist to destroy a high priority target, after that, reactivate Recall to return to safety. Frostwolf Howl damages nearby towers and increases the damage they take from Garmir’s spells. Casting Frostwolf Howl first, will increase the damage of Ice Mist and make your attacks even more devastating. For defense Garmir knows Frost Beacon and Invoke: Arctic Burst. Frost Beacon will briefly shield Garmir from any source of damage, and place beacons on nearby towers that Garmir or its allies can collect when destroying affected towers. Be careful not to use Recall too quickly while Frost Beacon is active, or you may teleport away before any tower has been marked. Finally, Invoke: Arctic Burst is Garmir’s invoke spell that freezes any tower struck for a short period. When used in combination with its other spells, a true master of Garmir can tactically destroy any base.
