Hero Review
Niki: The Scythe Master Who (Eventually) Heals Everyone
"Niki brings a massive scythe and a 'never miss' promise to the battlefield. But with Slow mana and stats from 2024, can she survive long enough to harvest anything in the hyper-fast meta of late 2025? We break down her unique hit-and-heal mechanic and see if she's a hidden gem for Rush Wars or just roster filler."
