                  Perks                

Laia flexes into many different methods of defense. The healer/warrior card pool is extremely defense heavy, and shield or block (or both) can reasonably be expected to work. Perks like Vuln, Bless, Slow and powerful are necessary to make Laia not just do block, but also support her carry. Extra perk points should be go into; Fortify, Sharp, Wet, Burn, Vitality, Regen, Buffer, Sanctify, Powerful depending on what cards you plan on adding to your deck, and how you plan on supporting your team.

Go First And Howl

Front-Laia

Save it For Laia

This deck usually goes second, after a scout contributes to their speed, then prepares for the enemy attacks with howls, and blocks.

This list full perks into resistance, goes last, and applies sanctify to allow her to heal herself after incoming damage. Free perks into healing or shield depending on desires.

A shield-oriented list, utilising bless and powerful as its main form of support tools. This perklist is less concerned with going before enemies. Pairs best with “Save it for Later(Blue)” when fortify is challenging to access.

                   Decks                   

Laia’s main strength comes from her multiclass card pool. Both pools are filled with defenses which raises her consistency, and starting decks power. Her decks are usually jammed full of varied inexpensive support cards.

Duality does the most heavy-lifting of all her talents, +3(or 4) energy per turn is not only extremely accessible, but strong. Lay on Paws is always strong, Bless/Zeal are good keywords, and the healing done scales well into the late game. The rest of her level ups are pretty give or take depending on deck construction. They have good moments and can fill niches but will not always make it to act 4.

Zeal is frequently neglected in these builds because of its inaccessibility, but certain cards and items can turn Zeal into a real powerhouse, offering up huge resistance gains.
