Unit Background
The name Hekateia means Mother Poison in the ancient Groak tongue, or depending on your perspective, Mother Blood. As Mother to the Groaks, she is responsible for educating the tads in the ways of brewing. She also enjoys the pick of mates and the tastiest yellows from the spawning pools.
Hers is a mind that boils with resentment like her many cauldrons, and in the shadowed depths of her private grove in the Deepwood, she hatches schemes. Hekateia wants to colonize all the world, poisoning its wells, lakes and river, and promoting the bloom of unwholesome plant life. Not surprisingly, she considers Muglugg of the Swamp Orcs to be her greatest rival, for the desires of that people too closely mirror those of the Groaks.

Card Strategy
Hekateia serves primarily as a support summoner, anchoring the Deepwood Groaks’ economy and exerting significant timing pressure on opposing factions. The longer she remains active, the more effectively she can distribute boosts, giving you a strategic advantage.
Each turn, the decision of where to allocate your boosts is critical and often involves calculated risks. Should you leave those boosts on a Bloom Warrior, hoping it survives another turn, or should you retrieve them for a safer use? These are the tough decisions you'll face regularly.
Despite her support role, Hekateia is also a capable damage dealer. In the early turns, most of your boost generation will come from Hekateia attacks, typically protected by a Mind Warden. It's often advantageous to position her aggressively early on to secure those vital early boosts. Even if she takes damage, her most important contributions can be made safely from the backlines as the game progresses.
