If she had disappeared in that forest fire in Chapter 3, her portrait will appear changed, but her smirk remains. In the second part of The Banner Saga, Yrsa shows up in the end of Chapter 8, at Ormsdalr.If she does not leave the caravan, she will join Rook's caravan in the end of Chapter 7. Yrsa will join Hakon's caravan as part of Ludin's retinue in Chapter 3.This makes her especially deadly near the end of a fight, or against tough opponents who have lost a lot of armor. For every 2 points of armor her target has lost, the Archer gains 1 additional strength to her attack, as long as she didn't move beforehand. Passive Ability: Puncture By standing still, the Archer is able to line up a shot that takes advantage of an enemies missing armor, doing bonus damage. Rain of Arrows (Skystriker), like Oddleif.Second Active Ability: Choice In the second part of The Banner Saga, when Yrsa reaches Rank 6, she can choose a second active ability between: Since Siege Archers' max break is 3, Slag and Burn can be used to cause splinter and deal strength damage at the same time. Rank 3: 2 Strength damage (all units), Break+2 Armor damage (target), up to 4 burning coals.
Rank 2: 2 Strength damage (all units), Break+1 Armor damage (target), up to 3 burning coals. Rank 1: 2 Strength damage (all units), Break+0 Armor damage (target), up to 2 burning coals.
The burning coals disappear on Yrsa's next turn, but stay active if she is knocked out. Finally, the explosion leaves off randomly placed burning coals on unoccupied tiles (prioritizing the target tile) that when stepped upon deal 1 Strength damage. Additionally, if a unit occupies the target tile, it also receives Armor damage equal to Yrsa's Break stat. The resulting explosion deals 2 Strength damage to the units occupying any of five tiles. Yrsa selects a target tile (occupied or not) within a range of 2-5 tiles, throws flammable slag covering the target tile and the four adjacent ones, and fires an arrow to ignite it. While she admits burning things isn't always the answer, it's always her answer.Īctive Ability: Slag and Burn Yrsa's Slag and Burn is slightly different from that used by Siege Archers in The Banner Saga: Factions. Her fondness of flames keep varl away, and her intimidating stares do likewise with humans. Mysterious and dangerous are only two of the words others have used to describe Prince Ludin's bodyguard, Yrsa. Those who have spent much time near her have described the woman is intimidating. Rumors used to spread about a romantic relationship between the two until Yrsa heard out about them, and then suddenly they stopped. Not many people know much about where she came from, but ever since Ludin became old enough to train, Yrsa has been close by. Yrsa is a mischievous archer and childhood friend of Ludin assigned to him as a bodyguard.
