=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}= 
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
She's a melee solo first, and an Iron Fang buffbot second. 

In case you missed it: Inhuman Resolve is her stand out rule as it makes her nigh-unkillable because instead of going ''disabled-boxed-destroyed'' she goes ''disabled-wait until next Maintenance Phase-destroyed'' and while she waits she can get healed by anyone else that dies.

===Combos & Synergies===
* She might be listed as a Black Dragon, but she works just as well with regular Iron Fang models.
* [[Irusk2]] and the [[Iron Fang Kovnik]] can give her immunity to knockdown, which synergies nicely with Inhuman Resolve. It lets her stay on her feet even while she is disabled, so she can still threaten free-strikes, engage models, use her shield guard ability and even [[countercharge]], should you be in the [[Legion of Steel]] theme force.

===Drawbacks & Downsides=== 
* [[Grievous Wounds]] and various [[RFP]]-effects bypass Inhuman Resolve.
* Taking her down requires effort, but once she's gone you lose your Veteran Leader aura and your Shield Guard.

===Tricks & Tips===
* All your opponent has to do to counter Inhuman Resolve is ignore Sofya until the end of their turn, then kill her last. Thus, you should play Sofya aggressively and make her something they ''can't'' ignore until the end of their turn.
* She likes to have squishy models stay in her command range, so she can heal when they get squished.

===Trivia===
