Power: 3 | Speed: 4 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Open Seas
Origins: Spray Roc is an aerial Water card – a combination that shouldn't work as well as it does. It lives on the Open Seas and has developed combat techniques that exploit both altitude and water entry in ways that most cards aren't designed to defend against, because most cards don't expect an attack that starts above and comes from below. Its 3/4 stat line is versatile and its attack angle is unique.
Finishing Move: Sea Spray Dive: Dives from altitude into the open water and comes up under a target – the spray from the impact is the distraction, and the actual hit comes from directly below while the opponent is tracking the spray.
Synergy & Rivalry: The vertical dimension in a Water deck. Fire's Scorch Roc is its direct aerial counterpart – two roc-type cards from opposite affinities who share altitude as a tactical parameter and dispute everything else about how aerial combat should be conducted.
