How Sal fits a formation
Sal is a Mage built around short-range frost mage and formation support. Sal's two-hex range and front-facing bonus make placement unusually strict. Pair her with a deliberate front partner.
Sal base stats
Derived comparison values
EHP and EOFF are comparison composites; Sec / cast estimates a passive mana-fill interval. They help compare records but are not separate in-game stats.
Sal ranks
Draft a duplicate of Sal or use an eligible campfire event to rank up. Rank B chooses a fixed specialization; Rank A and S draft from the active class modifier pool.
Rank C
The base stat line starts with the active ability equipped.
Permafrost
Sal empowers her attacks, causing them to also hit the nearest enemy to Sal's target, dealing 10 (+ 50% Magic ) bonus damage and inflicting 1 (+1 per rank ) Frost . This ability stacks.
Rank B
The first rank-up also chooses one of three fixed specializations. A path can add a class and change later offers.
The Breezy
+ DuelistWhenever a Mage or Duelist inflicts a Debuff , they gain 0 (+1 per rank ) Attack Speed and 1 (+1 per rank ) Magic . Backup.
The Lover
At start of combat, Heroes directly in front of Sal permanently gain 20 Defense . Pimenta gains 20 more.
The Brisk
+ WarriorBonus damage from Permafrost can Crit . On Crit, inflict 1 (+1 per rank ) Frost . On cast, Sal gains 33% Attack + 33% Magic Crit .
Rank A
Gain the stat package above, then choose from modifiers generated by Sal's active class set.
Rank S
Gain the stat package a final time and draft the last class modifier to complete the current Demo build.
Possible class modifiers
Later ranks offer modifiers from the hero's active class pool. Multiclass heroes receive a split offer set, so both class groups should contain useful outcomes before committing.

How to build around Sal
- Preserve the first job.Make sure Sal can already perform the role described above before adding a second engine.
- Choose a repeatable trigger.Match the specialization to an effect the current team can activate every fight.
- Protect the delivery condition.Range, mana, survival, and target access usually matter before another damage multiplier.
- Read the later pool.Choose an added class only when its Rank A/S modifier outcomes support the same plan.

Sal lore
“See? We're still here.”
Guild profile
Guild Gaia Project - “Fight for tomorrow, not just today.” Grab a drink and raid some Rifts. Stall for more drinks, debuff on the morning after.
Background
She has always been keeping small things since she was a child: pressed flowers, faded photographs, small acts of preservation. Her Awakening carries the same instinct: frost that can shatter but also preserve, depending what's needed. It's the same frost that slows the poison in Pimenta's veins.
Motivation
She goes where Pimenta goes. Bring the day closer when none of this is needed anymore, and she'll work twice as hard to get there.
