Herald's Hymn

Herald's Hymn is one of the cards in Stormbound: Kingdom Wars.

Overview
Herald's Hymn is a common spell that gives strength to a single unit and commands its whole row forward. When upgraded, the amount of strength it gives increases. Herald's Hymn sees play in aggro or swarm decks.

Strategies
Herald's Hymn works well with many friendly units in a single row.
 * When you have units next to the enemy base, Herald's Hymn can command them to attack it without having to wait until your turn again.
 * Herald's Hymn can also be used to push your front forward, forcing any friendly units to instantly attack what is in front of this. This strategy can be a good counter to smart structure placement.
 * You can use Herald's Hymn to command units forward in situations where playing Forgotten Souls is infeasible, such as when all nearby tiles are occupied.
