WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA grounded blocker holds melee attention while this tiny flier weaves confusion in from above.
SniperLAND / AERIALA ranged attacker capitalizes on foes wasting actions or attacking allies after failing the confusion save.
SnareLANDA controller that keeps a target in place guarantees line of sight for the wing display to land.

✖ clumping✖ low Will✖ melee reliance
Avoid pairing with another Will-targeting controller; stacking confusion effects wastes actions solving a problem the party only needs to answer once.
