Jarl Firemantle. He is a freaking Fire Giant! He has a fantastic art and flavor text with a great pun. And his maniacal laughter when he activates his spell fits all of it perfectly. ---

Avina. True shot, agile, and triple damage to undead. What’s not to like? ---

Druid. His spell has nice damage output, and I like his art. Just got him to mythic today. Now I love him even more. ---

Soothsayer. I’ve loved this card from the moment I saw it, and I always try to fit him in my line-ups, one way or another. So cheap, so useful, plus he looks super cool. 😛 ---

Emperina. Her spell is the closest thing there is to a proper Resurrection effect in this game, as well as one of the strongest buffs around. Nothing beats the feeling I get when she makes my 1-HP team leader come back to full life, and then some! She didn’t receive great traits (that’s understatement, her traits are very close to useless, actually), and she’s primarily a support in most line-ups, but I don’t care. I still love her to bits. In the Arena pool, I have similar feelings for the post-1.0.8 Dryad, aka the mini-Emperina. =) As for PVP, there’s one troop I have my eyes on and which should get amazing and wreck the current meta if I can only give him his third trait before 2020. But no luck this far. I’m not telling who that is until I can make him a force to be reckoned with . ^^ ---

Shadow Dragon. Biased by the fact I got 2 Shadows dragons at the start of the game, 1 from my 8th iron key and another at my 11th. ---

Behemoth, cause it was my first legendary from an iron key at around lvl 50 - used him in every line-up up until 1.07. Sadly no more use now. Ah, nostalgia.
