Snowdancer: class guide and playstyle

What does Snowdancer bring to a party?

Role: Support / forced movement. Core idea: Uses healing, wind and ice with repositioning.

Treat movement of allies and enemies as part of the same puzzle. Clear access for a melee ally, move a threat away from a fragile character, or prepare a hazard interaction. Decide which outcome matters before spending your support action.

How do you unlock this class?

Campaign unlock; exact digital requirements not yet independently checked.

How should you build around its strengths?

Bring practical healing and forced movement, with enough movement of your own to stay in range. Pick upgrades for the party’s recurring problems. In a melee-heavy group, prioritize effects that help allies reach productive attack positions.

1. Choose whether the round needs healing, enemy displacement or allied access.
2. Check all legal destinations and hazard interactions before selecting forced movement.
3. End within support range of the next fight rather than remaining behind the party.

Which cards are named in digital sources?

These names are corroborated by official digital announcements. Their current level, full wording and unlock requirements should be checked in the in-game Codex.

• Cross Winds — official digital reference.
• Gathering Force — official digital reference.
• Polar Vortex — official digital reference.
• Whiteout — official digital reference.
• Lifting Gust — official digital reference.

What commonly goes wrong?

Gathering Force’s effect is corrected not to reduce allied movement. That does not make every forced-movement or movement-granting ability legal on every special object; the Ice Block and other scenario entities have their own restrictions.

Where should you go next?

Read the Snowdancer build framework, compare party composition, and review card economy before committing to a long scenario.

Evidence boundary: Roster name corroborated against tabletop index and digital full-roster announcement; exact digital class text and unlock require Codex verification. Strategy is tabletop-informed editorial advice.
