 * [Minion], [Faction] Minion**

=__Overview__= Viktoria's 'real' sister. She is a great support minion for a Viktoria crew, but she does prevent the use of a totem.

=__Mobility__= Decent Wk and Cg. She has nimble, helping her get around and stay in touch with either of the Viktorias while they bounce around the board

=__Offense__= She has a solid Katana strike, but her magical ranged attack is much better. Overall combat is average, but you don't bring her for her attack, you bring her for buffs, card control and her ability to add some variety to your crew.

=__Resilience__= (with subheadings like 'vs melee', ' vs ranged' and/or relevant spells and abilities)

=__Tips and Tricks__= Arcanist Sympathizer - Crews containing Vanessa can hire one non-living Arcanist model. It gains Mercenary. It is now possible to hire, for example, the Rail Golum! There are a number of great models that are now available to you. Although many of them don't synthesize particularly well with anything in your crew some are still worth a look.

"One More?" - Vanessa can be used as a Ronin when casting "Another One?" At 2 more SS than a Ronin, you don't want to do this for this reason, but she CAN do this if needed. However, you should not need to do this as much because...

Sister in Need - This spell gives the Viktorias a variety of defensive buffs based on the suits in the casting total. Vanessa already has a tome in her casting total, so she can always give them Armor +1. This can increase their survivability greatly. Hard to Kill on the Vics probably gives them enough to either escape or kill you opponent. Slow to Die on a SS using model makes them almost impossible to kill while they have SS left.

Vanessa also has an element of deck manipulation that can greatly enhance the effectiveness of a Viktorias crew. These spells useful, but don't let them distract you from her true purpose.

=__Master-Specific Tips__= Obviously she works best with the Viktorias. In fact, she can only work with them. Her biggest benefit is that she can also use Sister in Spirit. You can use her to boost up the Viks before you send them a killin' enemies.

=__Minion-Specific Tips__=

=__Playing Against [Minion]__=

She won't be in the front lines, as she does her damage from buffing the Vics (which are way faster than her) and shooting with her solid ranged magical attack (Spirits beware!). If you get a chance to take her out, you should, but the real threat is the Vics. Even with her buffs they can still be delicate.
