Tactical Tips
Will Shred Combo

Anti-Buff Strategy
Echo Negation strips all buffs and refunds energy per buff removed. Use against Bard/Warlord buffed units for massive value. Can completely negate buff stacking.
Target Priority
Psychic Insight shows enemy Will. Target units with low/no Will first—Berserker (0), Archer (1), Guardian (1) take full PSI damage.
High Mobility
Speed 5 and Move 4 make Mentalist very mobile. Reposition to avoid threats and find optimal targets. Stay at range 3-4 for safe damage.
