Mirror Archer
DESCRIPTION
Mirror Archers experience emotions with such extraordinary intensity they can drown in a teardrop. They absorb and reflect the emotional states around them with supernatural precision, morphing their very identity to match the target of their focus.
SPECIALS
  • Emotional Amplifier - Absorbs emotional energy from battlefield and returns it as devastating projectiles; damage scales with battle intensity.
  • Identity Blend - Automatically takes on traits of nearest ally, gaining partial access to their abilities and sometimes forgetting which personality is the original.
STRATEGY
Mirror Archers excel at emotional intelligence and social manipulation but risk becoming lost in others' emotional states. Their shapeshifting abilities make them unpredictable allies with incredible empathic range - when they're not drowning in emotional overwhelm.
