Power: 5 | Speed: 5 | Rarity: Rare | World Region: The Tidal Reaches
Origins: Tide Ranger patrols the Tidal Reaches and has developed an attack philosophy based on coverage rather than precision – a 5/5 stat line deployed in broad arcs that accept small positional errors in exchange for consistently hitting something. In a game where precise targeting can be countered, a wide sweep is sometimes the better strategy. Tide Ranger has built an entire career on that philosophy and has the results to justify it.
Finishing Move: Tidal Sweep: Tracks across the full width of the battle zone with tidal precision – the sweep follows the water's natural arc and covers ground that most linear attacks miss.
Synergy & Rivalry: Area coverage in Water Rares. Fire's Ash Ranger is its direct cross-affinity counterpart – two Ranger-tier cards from opposing elements who track targets through their respective environmental signatures and have been trying to establish whose tracking method is more reliable.
