How to play Mira
Veil Mending: Heal one friendly creature by 2.
Veil Mending heals a friendly creature by two. Save a key defender through another exchange or keep a support effect on the board; the ability does not heal Mira herself. The opponent can answer by concentrating damage rather than leaving recoverable wounds.
The four encounters
The settings recorded for this champion’s campaign chapter:
The door without a house. Mourning ribbons circle a threshold that has opened for a second time.
The rain-glass arcade. A hare's reflection crosses puddles one heartbeat before the hare itself.
The swan ferry. Black water carries ledger feathers beneath a broken lantern bridge.
The last threshold. A coffin-shaped door stands open over still water, its lantern shining toward both shores.
