Wren

Came down to strike her mother's name from the ledger. Straight-up steel. A good first descent.

Skill: Cleave

Cleave2

Strike every enemy once.

Each hit is an ordinary strike: it can crit, counts toward every-third-strike effects, and applies whatever your strikes apply. Like every skill it costs mana only: it has no cooldown and does not end your turn.

Passive: Second Wind

The first time each battle you fall below half health, restore 50% armor.

It triggers once per battle, on the hit that takes you under half health, and gives back half of your maximum armor.

Specialization: Duelist

Against a lone enemy, +1 strike.

The extra strike comes whenever one enemy is left standing, so it is always on against a lone boss or Warden.

A specialization replaces the passive; you play one or the other. Wren's opens when Wren's own best floor is 20 or deeper, and you switch it in the hero's details at hero select. The Daily Descent and the Season Descent always use the base passive.

Base stats

Wren starts every run with +24 health, +4 armor, +3 power, +5% crit chance, +50% crit damage, +3 mana, a Rusty Shortsword and 30 gold (more with the Endurance trial or the Pilfered Crown). Everything else comes from gear. What each number does is on the stats page.

What the bosses say

Each boss has one line kept for Wren, said once, at the start of a fight.

Boss	The line
The Tallyman	Wren. Your mother's line still owes me. Shall I add yours beneath it?
Mother Brine	That scarf. I kept one just like it, from a girl who never left.
Avarax	Your mother's face is on my third scale. Would you like to see?
