Gloriel Summerbloom

Hiring cost 150,000 gp. Plays for: Elven Kingdoms League.

Special rule: Shot to Nothing

Once per game, when activated, she may gain Hail Mary Pass until the end of that activation.

On the pitch

Gloriel is a thrower with PA 2+, backed by Pass to re-roll a failed test and Accurate for the short throws. Sure Hands makes the pick-up safe, and Dodge with Sidestep and AG 2+ gets her out of trouble. Shot to Nothing gives her one Hail Mary Pass a game, for the turn when nobody is in range. ST 2 is the price, and Loner (3+) is kinder than most stars get.

At 150k she is cheap for an elf star, and Elven Union, High Elf, Dark Elf and Wood Elf teams can all hire her. Dark Elves, whose Runners have Dump-off and Punt and no Pass skill, get the most out of her. Wood Elves and High Elves already own good throwers. The weakness is ST 2 behind AV 8+: a blitz that reaches her usually works, so hire her for a passing drive and keep her screened.
