Abilities
A Thousand Cuts — A ferrous butterfly's knifelike wings cause terrible lacerations that continue to bleed. Any creature with persistent bleed damage from a ferrous butterfly's wing attack has weakness 2 to slashing damage until the bleeding is stopped.
Swoop — The ferrous butterfly Flies up to its Speed and makes a wing Strike at any point during that movement.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / AERIALA durable frontliner holds ground while this erratic flier darts around unpredictably for its own openings.
CrasherLAND / AERIALA heavy melee attacker benefits when the bleed-driven slashing weakness lands right before a big hit.
SniperLAND / AERIALA ranged ally can exploit the same bleeding target without needing to enter melee range.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ melee reliance✖ low Reflex
Avoid stacking with another erratic flying skirmisher; both are individually fragile and easy to pick off once isolated.
