Requirements The kobold dragon mage is adjacent to at least one enemy.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDAnvil holds the frontline, creating the off-guard condition the mage needs for Sneak Attack while protecting its low HP pool.

CrasherLANDCrasher breaks formation and draws attention, giving the frail mage uninterrupted casting and a safe trigger for Illusory Retreat.
