The Necrobinder and her faithful right-hand left hand are BACK and totally revamped! She now has 3 brand new cards under her belt and 2 new powers, Shield and Vigor. You may notice that many of her cards have been reworked, her and Osty’s HP has been rebalanced, Osty must now be revived/healed at rest sites, AND you can now freely switch between which character is in front. We’d greatly appreciate your feedback on anything Necrobinder-related! ☠️
