Unferth Review: The 3-Star Rogue Who Brings a Sword to a Fistfight

"Unferth enters the arena with a legendary sword and a bad attitude. This 3-star hero combines Very Fast mana with a mechanic that throws defense debuffs around like confetti. We break down his stats, his odd 'Source of Ailments', and why he might be the annoying Rogue you need for your next tournament defense."
