Witch (Merge Tactics)

“Every few seconds, she summons Skeletons with 50% of her max HP and Attack Damage”

The Witch is a card that belongs in the Undead and Avenger traits. It spawns a single-target ranged troop with moderate hitpoints, moderate damage, and slow attack speed. Every 5 seconds, the Witch summons a variable amount of Skeletons with half of her hitpoints and damage. The Witch takes the appearance of a woman who has glowing pink eyes, no legs, wears a violet cloak, a dark gray top, two golden skulls on her shoulders, dark gray gloves with golden armlets, a golden belt with a skull face in the middle, and a dark magenta dress, and wields a staff with a ram skull on top with two golden horns on its head. A Witch card costs 4 to deploy.

Strategy[]

While the Witch is weak on damage and health alike, especially due to her slow attack speed, she is not to be underestimated. When supported by high health troops, she'll have enough time to spawn a number of Skeletons. If she's on higher merge levels, she'll easily flood the arena with them, overwhelming the opponent and nearly guaranteeing victory.
In order to counter her, splash troops, like Wizard, Valkyrie, Executioner, Baby Dragon, and Princess are able to defeat multiple Skeletons to clear the path for taking Witch down. Executioner and Princess, when aligned correctly, and Baby Dragon, due to his large splash area, will also hit Witch at the same time as they target the Skeletons.
Assassin troops can also directly target Witch before she spawns any Skeletons as they'll leap right to the backline, where she's generally placed.
Activating Witch's Undead trait reduces the HP of a number of enemies, allowing the player's team to defeat enemies quicker, while any Undead troop gets bonus damage by defeating one of those cursed units.
Activating her Avenger trait will give all of the trait's troops bonus damage. Although Witch is likely to be the last standing Avenger, due to being ranged and spawning Skeletons as meat-shields, the double damage is better used on Archer Queen, as her damage output is better, especially due to being multi-target.

- The Witch is 1 of 6 Merge Tactics troops associated with Skeletons, with the others being Bomber, Skeleton Dragon, Giant Skeleton, Skeleton King, and of course, Skeletons.
The Witch is 1 of 8 Merge Tactics troops which first existed in Clash of Clans, with the others being Archer, Barbarian, Goblin, Wizard, P.E.K.K.A., Valkyrie, and the Archer Queen.
- Despite originating from Clash of Clans, the Witch is not a Clan troop, likely due to already having Undead as her primary trait.
Despite not being undead, Witch is an Undead, likely because she spawns Skeletons, which are undead beings with physical matter.
