Thoughts on the Nicia2
Nicia2 in a Nutshell
Nicia is a ranged combat solo who hunts down and executes enemy models with a vengeance. Her primary role is to provide a powerful ranged weapon that collects and distributes the Souls of her fallen foes. She is extremely difficult to pin down with her array of movement and defensive abilities, and if the enemy does manage to corner her, they're gonna taste her blades!

Trivia
- Released with the Faction release (2019.06)
- Prior to release, PP hid the identity of Nicia2 from players. Her concept art was "unfortunatley not complete in time for CID" and she was called a completely different name (Kezia Brand, the Screaming Night). She was revealed via a "Wanted Poster" placed on Facebook in the week just before the Faction was released.
