Wisp is a character I underestimated when I first read his ability. I thought to myself, “So what if he can move around without triggering guard reactions? I wanna kill monsters!” But after playing him, he instantly became one of my favorite characters. Why? Because he can very easily and very quickly complete PvE quests. Many of the PvE quests involve slaying a certain monster or collect a certain token. For other characters, you would have to fight your way through several monsters (or risk getting beaten to a pulp via guard reactions) before reaching those quests. This isn’t true of Wisp. He can easily slip by monsters (even many that are guarding important portals) to quickly reach his objective while other players are still twiddling their thumbs near their start locations!

One of the unfortunate circumstances I’ve faced many times is when my character gets killed by another player’s ranged attack while I’m trying to kill a monster for a PvE quest, or another player kills the monster I was targeting with a ranged attack and steals the loot I worked so hard trying to obtain. Oftentimes these PvE-quest monsters are hidden in a room behind a door. This where Wisp comes into play. Where most characters would open the door and then immediately proceed to attack the monster (leaving much room for others to sweep by and assassinate you or your target), Wisp is able to open the door, walk into the room, and close the door (triggering no guard reaction and rendering ranged attacks useless!). Then he can freely “open a can” on the monster(s)… melee weapons, armor, and cleave are helpful for this =)

Many of us, myself included, missed the Kickstarter to get all the different Kickstarter Exclusive heroes. If you’re like me, then you’re probably upset about it and wish that you could try out the nearly 30 additional heroes that didn’t come in the base set. Luckily for us, the Kickstarter Exclusive heroes are posted online on the Arcadia Quest website. You can download the images of the character cards, print them out, and substitute the miniature with one of the ones in the base set. It takes a little bit of work but it’ll give your game more variety and a bigger pool for drafting heroes.
