Game of Thrones: Dragonfire

Zivern

Tactical exposure, Panic and protection

Zivern creates Tactical vulnerability windows while dealing Tactical damage himself. Later Panic, ally protection and Overwhelm broaden his role, but these effects have different unlocks and should not be treated as guaranteed control.

Sources and uncertainty

Skills, rarity, breed, affinities and Habit unlocks use Wyrmwise's reviewed catalogue records, including Dragonfire Lab 0.23.5. They are reviewed community mechanics, not publisher confirmation of every effect. Tactical roles, placement and partner guidance are Wyrmwise inferences from those mechanics.
