{{4P|Storm of the North}}

''A lifetime of exposure to the elements and endless study of ancient rites has granted these wizened shamans of the northkin power over the very elements that shape Immoren’s frozen north. Their incantations chill the hearts of men and beasts that would threaten the kriels, turning flesh black with frostbite more potent than even what the bitterest winter can offer.

=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Northkin Shaman is a utility solo who brings a nice DEF debuff and can also hold its own in combat with a handy spray or protect from incoming fire with a cloud.

Basically it's a troll model with Khador magic ice abilities.

For the Shaman you have to decide, if you want to get him close to war for his [[Chiller]] DEF debuff. Else you can have him in the backfield to protect your Lock against enemy Shooting. Playing him in front is a bit tricky, due to his low DEF and ARM stats. For the clouds have a look in this list: [[Anti Cloud Tech]]

===Combos & Synergies===
* A second Shaman - one cloud's not worth anywhere near as much as half of two.
* [[Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew]] for your cloud wall needs.
* [[Dire Troll Mauler]] - all beasts (and most melee infantry) like the DEF debuff but only the Mauler has its chain attack.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Squishy magical solo
* Trollblood support bloat
* His Mat and Pow are very middling making battle wizard a bit of a trap

===Tricks & Tips===
* Keep it near the action for the DEF debuff.
