Gwen: Disciple, Scout and boosted snips
Gwen · from the PoC community · 2026-10-14
Turn the opening
Hallowed board into a free
Gwen, then attack twice with
Scout and stronger
Drain
Skill.
Build
Overview
At six stars,
Gwen starts with four
Ghastly Band bodies and an attack token.
Disciple of Shadows converts that board into a free champion and
Hallowed deaths.
Galeforce gives her two attack opportunities, while
Luden's Tempest strengthens each damage instance from her attack
Skill.
This trio leads her collected build support. Her existing guide keeps team
Challenger and deck-size scaling; this version commits to a fast champion-led finish. Enemy
Stun,
Recall or a Nexus damage cap can force you beyond the opening burst, where
Galeforce's shuffle becomes a real cost.
The build
Disciple of Shadows
Each ally in play reduces her cost by one. Playing her deals three to all other allies: your opening
Hallowed bodies become
Hallowed stacks, and that damage can meet her level condition before she attacks. Extra health on those allies can change how many actually die, so inspect the board after the effect.
Galeforce
Scout allows a first attack with only
Scout units, then returns an attack token for your full attack. Declare the Scout-only attack before adding non-Scout followers. At Round End, the equipped champion is shuffled into your deck; she is not
Recall to hand. If the first turn does not finish, another copy or draw is needed to replay her.
Luden's Tempest
While she is in play, spells and
Skill deal one extra damage. Her leveled
Drain
Skill has repeated damage instances, so this slot improves both finishing damage and healing. It does not increase Disciple's relic damage as if that were a spell or
Skill. Unlock the third Rare slot at level 30 and upgrade one slot for Disciple.
How to play
Keep
Gwen and a cheap follower. After the opening
Hallowed units arrive, play her at the reduced cost. Check whether the allied damage has leveled her, then use the remaining mana to set up the attackers you need.
Attack with her alone for the
Scout attack. On the following full attack, place a living follower immediately to her left: the two-star
Hallowed effect gives the next attacker the same
Hallowed power increase, so she receives
Hallowed from that ally as well as her own
Hallowed interaction. More
Hallowed power means a larger
Drain on the second attack.
Avoid spending all your removal before the first attack if the enemy can stop her. A
Stun or
Recall can consume the opening window, and a unit that can kill her must still be respected if
Quick Attack or
Overwhelm does not solve it. When the enemy has a damage cap, preserve a second copy and enough blockers for the next round rather than assuming the first burst ends the encounter.
Drafting and alternatives
Prioritize champion draw, cost reduction for your setup follower and protection against the enemy's likely interaction. Extra champion copies can make the Round End shuffle less punishing. Health buffs to the disposable opening bodies can interfere with the planned sacrifice, so check their current health before counting
Hallowed stacks.
Death's Foil trades
Scout burst for safe attacks across multiple rounds.
Crownguard Inheritance is useful in other versions, but can waste its
Rally here when Disciple levels her before the first attack: the six-star power already supplied that attack token. For a board-focused plan, see her other guide.
Star-power checkpoint
Last Dance supplies the opening four
Hallowed units and
Rally at six stars. It is what makes the immediate free-deployment sequence reliable.
Needlework supplies the second-attacker
Hallowed interaction; use it on the full attack after the
Scout swing.
