Game of Thrones: Dragonfire
Shadowrend
Late-round support and Panic setup
Shadowrend supplies Panic and becomes more influential in the later rounds through team attributes, damage support and an extra mixed attack. This delayed contribution makes him a different choice from an immediate burst attacker.

Sources and uncertainty

They are reviewed community mechanics, not publisher confirmation of every effect. Tactical roles, placement and partner guidance are Wyrmwise inferences from those mechanics.
