Card Description
Summon a copy of an enemy on your side with 1 Health

Shade Wisp is an item players may accumulate over a run. This card is exclusive to the Shademancers Tribe.

Strategy

Most (but not all) of the targeted enemy's characteristics are copied: the copy keeps all abilities, buffs and debuffs, max Counter, Frenzy, and attack. If the targeted enemy has Resist Snow, the copy also has it. However, its Counter always starts at the maximum amount and not at the enemy's current Counter (e.g. if copying a Snowbo whose Counter is at 1, the copy's Counter will be at 2). The copy's max health also becomes 1 and it gains the Summoned ability. Additionally, the Shade Wisp cannot copy any enemy that takes up 2 zones (e.g. Infernoko or Bamboozle).

Since the copy only has 1 health, the Summoned ability will kill it at the end of the turn it triggers, unless its max health is increased. Picking an enemy to maximize the value of the Shade Wisp is somewhat difficult, as the copy must count down its Counter all the way (because using the Sunburst Tootoo will kill it), and it will only get a single attack. Try to copy enemies that have Spice, Shell, Block, or Teeth to get more mileage out of the summon, although simply using it for a body to block an attack is still perfectly viable.

Attaching the Lamb Charm to the Shade Wisp gives it Faith 2, giving the copy slightly more attack and crucially allowing it to attack 3 times before disappearing instead of just once.

If copying a card that has Lumin, the summoned copy gains Lumin and thus removes it from the targeted enemy.
