Whats a good squad for Sybil?

[PK_Ultra]

Unlike the other Hero Units in the game, her special ability is not very intuitive. You get Barnabas who lets you put cavalry in his squad for cheaper, you got Abigayle whose the mother of dragons, but Sybil? She can get an extra action the more hurt her squad is.

idk what to do with her. pls help.

you have to wait long into game, until you get your answer, no other spoilers

TBH doesn't seem like there is much you can do with her for most of the game. Her bonus of double healing would seem to work well with a large squad, but her leadership is one of the lowest of any of the named heroes and doesnt seem to grow very well either.

There is an event later in the game that addresses this, but IMO you're better off disbanding her squad and just adding her in as your healer to some other squad (you can't do this until a certain point in the game though).

I read in another thread someone made her basically a roaming healer squad, just throw a few more healers and a couple tanks so she doesn't die immediately, then use her to top off your other squads in-mission. Seems like a decent enough plan, but I never found the need for a roaming healer while playing on normal difficulty.

There's three ways I ran Sybil based on my story progress. The first was in the early game, I put her with a line of strong front line units in front of her, letting her provide strong heals.

After her side quest to become a Paladin, I made her part of the front line, gave her magic barrier, then placed a unit of gunners in the back to do damage, creating a strong phalanx.

When I got her bonded with Abigaile, I dispanded her squad completely, making her one of the two paladins that protected Abigaile and her 3 dragons, while being much stronger and cost much less than a regular paladin.

I think ill just turn her into a healer/mage squad. RIght now I have 3 valkyries in the front and 2 mages in the middle. One heal from her has 4 charges. I think thats good enough. So far I havent gotten any real Mage units yet so why not.

She is a healer, so you can just make her squad whatever. I usually stick a healer in most squads anyway, so having one leading isn't a big deal. In fact I got a lot of healer mercenaries who had good leadership. I usually just stick some combination light or heavy infantry with them.

In early chapters, I threw in 2 medics with her and an acolyte up front. She was good to heal nearby units 3 times in one turn, but being a slow squad she moves only 5 squares so it's almost useless.

In the mid chapters though, I have her with 2 hospitaliers and 1 valkyrie up front. Now she's up to 4 heals per turn and she moves around 7 squares for being a cavalry unit. NOW, she's really useful, cause when I say she can heal 4 times per turn, I mean other squads.

Also, enemy units tend to target her a lot. If she can sustain that first volley, All 4 units are healers... So it's a good tanking unit.

ya thats sort of what ive done too. 2 valkyries and 3 mages. She heals 3 times per charge and shes my designated mage squad because thats the only squad I dont have.

Sybil works good as a bait unit. Two tanks up front, Sybil and another healer in back have low threat, so a lot of enemy units go towards her, but they stay alive. And the enemy will prioritize her over other units if they can reach her.
