Joan of Arc



15th Century French visionary and military leader. Also invented break-dancing.

Heavily armored and wielding an enormous sword with exceptional killing range, she's also an ideal real front-line commander. Joan of Arc can leap great distances, knocking down nearby enemies and healing nearby allies.

Strategy
A great melee character. Unlike Lincoln, she hits enemies hard with her broadsword at a slightly longer range and doesn't have to stay in contact with them. That said, there is a slight delay in the swing, making accuracy much more important than in Lincoln's case. Her sword takes getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you can easily slice and dice your way through enemy hordes. Dashing is extremely important to use her abilities to the fullest.

Her alternate ability can be targeted as long as you hold the right mouse button down. It's perfect for getting out of tight spots while maintaining your allies' health.
