Who is Marina?

The sea witch washes enemy lines back and conjures lakes of mist.

Marina Seaspray lives in a lighthouse and has saltwater instead of ink in her pen. She knows every wave by its first name and likes to argue with the moon about the tides. Her mood is like the sea: mostly calm, sometimes stormy, always a little wet. Whoever gets too close smells of seaweed for a week.

Before the first move, Marina hides the Eddy trap on the board. If your opponent moves onto the square, an eddy catches the piece and washes it onto a neighboring square.

Spells

Marina's three spells

Every move earns 1 mana, every captured piece adds its value on top. Instead of moving, you cast a spell. After that it needs a few moves before it is ready again.

  • Surge4 manaready again after 4 moves

    All enemy pieces on one rank are washed back one square where there is room. Every piece washed back is paralyzed for 2 moves.

  • Mist lake5 manaready again after 5 moves

    Four free squares in the middle are under water for 2 moves. Nobody can enter them.

  • Storm tide20 manaonce per game

    Master spell: All enemy pieces in the middle of the board (ranks 3 to 6, except the king) are thrown back one square where there is room. Every piece thrown back is paralyzed for 1 move.

Tactics

How to win with Marina

  1. Surge against advanced pieces

    For only 4 mana, Surge pushes a whole rank back and freezes each of those pieces for 2 moves. Perfect when attackers gather near your king.

  2. Mist lake locks the center

    Four central squares go underwater for 2 moves, for you as well. Cast it right when your opponent is about to storm the center.

  3. Storm tide before the counterattack

    The master spell throws back every enemy piece on ranks 3 to 6 except the king. Push forward at once while they are frozen for 1 move.

  4. Eddies on attacking squares

    Hide the Eddy trap on a square from which a knight would threaten your king. The whirlpool simply washes it onto a neighboring square.

Quips

  • Ahoy! The tide is on time, and so am I.at the start

  • Whoa, my king’s got wet feet.in check
  • That spot is treacherous. I should have said.when the trap snaps

The rival is Flamina Tinderfang of the Shadow Guild. When these two meet, it's not just pieces that fly, but quips too.
