Satha Toledo is a support unit that fits well in many battles due to her healing ability. With a decent needed 5 mana, she is easy to include even in battles where mana is a problem. She does not bring high damage compared to other attackers but her value comes from helping other units stay alive longer. She has a very limited ranged attack that can stack from the backline while staying out of danger most of the time. Even small damage can accrue the longer the battle goes. Because she is not meant to be in front, her low armor and health are less of an issue if positioned correctly. Satha Toledo works best when battles last longer and when both teams trade damage over many rounds.

Stats

• Satha Toledo is best described as a support unit rather than a tank or main damage dealer. Her stats are balanced enough to survive small attacks but can easily fall when focused. Jer real strength though comes from Tank Heal and Lookout, her two abilities. Tank Heal allows your frontline unit to recover health every round which is very strong when paired with a high health tank. Lookout adds extra protection to your backline by reducing damage from Sneak, Snipe and Opportunity attacks. Together, these abilities make Satha Toledo excel at keeping your formation stable. She works well with tanks that already have defensive abilities and she fits nicely into teams that want to win by outlasting the enemy.

Abilities

Tank Heal: Restores a third of max health to the Unit in the first position each round.
Tank Heal is a strong ability that restores health to the front unit each round. Her value becomes higher the longer the battle goes because her abilities work every round. This ability works best on tanks with high base health or units that can gain more health through abilities like Scavenger. Since Tank Heal only restores health, it does nothing for armor, so armored units without high health benefit less from it. Tank Heal may look like it doesn't matter but this ability can decide which tank dies first, yours or your enemy's. This ability is simple but very effective in any battles especially the drawn out ones.

Lookout: Adjacent Units receive 1 less damage from attackers with Sneak, Snipe, and Opportunity. Additionally, all units take half damage from ambushes as long as a Lookout Unit is on your team.
Lookout helps reduce the damage your team takes from Sneak, Snipe and Opportunity attacks making your backline much safer. Placing Satha Toledo right before the last unit is a good positioning choice because this allows Lookout to protect your final unit from Sneak attacks, which can easily be predicted. Even if enemies do not use Sneak, this position keeps Satha Toledo far enough from danger. Based on experience, Lookout does not work when the supported unit has Taunt since Taunt forces attacks regardless of positioning. Also remember that Lookout ability only works on your nearby units and not on Satha Toledo herself so she would receive full damage from Opportunity, Snipe and Sneak if you positioned her wrong.

Even at the start, I already saw the win coming my way. My enemy did a sort of a cardinal sin in Counterspell rule and that is to never use units with high magic attack in Counterspell rule. The higher your attack, the higher the return damage will be. With this, coupled with Mahkah Hemlig's low health, their biggest threat just died on its own. I used a lot of melee and range units instead and with the help of Tank Heal from Satha Toledo, it is very easy to see that my advantage in the battle never fell giving me full control of that battle from start to finish. The win is very easy despite the enemy having some powerful units in their lineup.
