**Shoulder Faeries** is a character card. They have Attack equal to that of your highest Evil character, and Health equal to that of your highest Good character.

## Strategy

**Shoulder Faeries**, given the right board, can instantly be the largest thing on board stat-wise. It's usually pretty straightforward how good they are on-curve, and in the right circumstances they can be quite strong.

The existence of **Shoulder Faeries** is a consideration for some boards, well before you see them. Look for scalable Good and Evil characters like Happy Little Tree, Shadow Assassin, Spell Weaver, Water Wraith, The Chupacabra, Hungry Hungry Hippocampus, Aon and Lancelot. **Shoulder Faeries** let you double-dip on that scaling, as when they scale, so do they, and can turn a board from one with a small core of one or two strong characters like Lancelot and Shadow Assassin into a board with multiple powerful threats. With a high-Health Character/Good character, they can take a beating while letting powerful Ranged back line characters pick off your opponent.

**Shoulder Faeries** can fit into Slay builds that have Health scaling, and Mage builds in which you focus your Health buffs on a particular Good character. Treant builds can work too, but it's awkward to find a good source of Evil attack unless you are in a hybrid build, as Ashwood Elm's Attack buff isn't seen by **Shoulder Faeries**.

Treasures like Haunted Helm, Sting, The Singing Sword, and Magic Sword +100 can also help you use **Shoulder Faeries** in some situations - slot a Good or Evil character in the right slot, and **Shoulder Faeries** can enjoy its benefit too. Supports like Sporko can make it work too.

Upgrading **Shoulder Faeries** can be worth a lot of stats, making them the biggest character statwise in most cases. They're a very worthy Knighthood target.

## Notes

* If an unupgraded **Shoulder Faeries** is placed in slot 7 with the treasure Ambrosia, its stats will be doubled. This will also grant these bonus stats to an Echowood on the same board. This can be used to create the rare but effective "echofairy" comp, where a massive **Shoulder Faeries** is combined with Echowoods to use their massive stats multiple times.
* **Shoulder Faeries**'s ability is mechanically distinct from any Buffs. They aren't permanent, "this brawl", Auras, or calculated. The best way to describe it is that they are Base stats that are determined as **Shoulder Faeries** enters a brawl. **Shoulder Faeries** can receive all types of Buffs, and these will be added to these base stats after they are determined.
* **Shoulder Faeries**'s dynamically calculated stats (before buffs/debuffs) will be at least 1 Attack and 1 Health.
* **Shoulder Faeries**'s "base" Attack and Health locks the moment they enter a brawl - they will not increase if your characters gain stats, nor will they decrease when other characters die. If they are summoned mid-combat, they will use the highest-Health *currently alive* Good character and highest-Attack *currently alive* Evil character.
* Beauty will use the highest Attack and highest Health from among all of your characters for **Shoulder Faeries**'s Attack and health. One character can even provide the stats for both, meaning that a giant Dubly or Scion of the Storm can be an extremely effective combo with a **Shoulder Faeries** while playing Beauty.
