Priest of Nyssor

Through years of spiritual introspection and study, the dedicated priests of Nyssor learn to bend the elements of winter to their will. Reassured that their god Nyssor is safe and well defended, the priests have hastened to Ios to stand against those who would threaten the frozen god. No strangers to combat, these priests now take to the fight, drawing upon their mastery over winter so that they may aid their allies in the Retribution.

Thoughts on Priest of Nyssor

Priest of Nyssor in a nutshell

The Priest of Nyssor buffs Nyss. Immunity: Cold is occasionally game-saving (especially against certain cold-based feats) and although the Nyss-buffing spell isn't quite a Veteran Leader it comes close.

Having Prowl and Snow-Wreathed may just sound like stealth with extra steps and it is, but it's also slightly better as your opponent has to negate 2 different anti ranged effects.

Combos & Synergies

• Blessings is obviously built for Nyss models: Ryssovass Defenders, Nyss Hunters, Aelyth Vyr, and Lanyssa Ryssyl, Scythe, even another Priest.
• Rahn can give them boosted magic attacks.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Winter Storm isn't as useful as it appears (as players of Lanyssa know well) - it just gets the Priest killed.
• If he wants to use Bless, he can only walk, which limits his maneuverability.

Tricks & Tips

• Other Nyss are normally immune to Cold, so if they're jammed in with enemy the Priest can safely spray over them to unjam them.
