Campaign[]

She first appears in the Union scenario of in the Fall of the Trident campaign, where it is revealed that she is the one that sent Niordsir and his crew to follow Gargarensis, and then she informs the heroes Arkantos, Ajax, Chiron, and Amanra that they have been tricked by Skult into bearing the flag of the Frost Giant Folstag. She joins the heroes in their quest, until they return to Atlantis.

In Retold, she is the protagonist of the new scenario Reginleif's Rally, where she is seen fighting alongside the last Norse village against the jotnar and Gargarensis' forces. After defeating them, she sends Niordsir to track Gargarensis' activities, which then ties into the scenario A Long Way From Home in the Fall of the Trident campaign.

In-game dialogue[]

Mythology[]

Age -- 1028
Homeland -- Valhalla
Occupation -- Valkyrie

Special attack -- heals allied units

Her name means "Heritage of the Gods." Once a powerful member of the sisterhood of the Valkyrie, Reginleif served Odin by capturing the souls of warriors for his armies in Valhalla. Reginleif fell from grace from unknown events and seeks to redeem herself in Odin's eyes by delaying Ragnarok.

The original Valkyries were Brynhild ("mail of battle"), Sigrun ("victory rune"), Kara, Mist, Skogul ("battle"), Prour ("power"), Herfjotur ("war fetter"), Raogrior ("god's peace"), Gunnr ("battle spear"), Skuld ("she who is becoming"), Sigrdrifa ("victory blizzard"), Svava, Hrist ("the shaker"), Skeggjold ("wearing a war axe"), Hildr ("battle"), Hlokk ("din of battle"), Goll ("battle cry"), Randgrior ("shield of peace"), Reginleif ("heritage of the gods"), Rota ("she who causes turmoil") and Gondul ("enchanted wand" or "Werewolf").

Bugs[]

  1. Due to a bug, she is not immune to targeted god powers such as Bolt and Traitor.

Trivia[]

  • Like most other heroes based on a myth unit, she is not classified as a myth unit in addition to being a hero unit. However, before Retold, Reginleif was unique in that she benefited from Aurora Borealis like regular Valkyries.
  • On the other hand, she gains no benefit from Thundering Hooves, presumably because she isn't mounted, nor from any other general bonuses for myth units.
  • Reginleif is also unusual for such a hero in being a practically completely different type of unit from her myth unit counterpart, being a ranged foot unit rather than a mounted melee unit (making her significantly slower). She retains the ability to heal allies, but with stronger effect and longer range, making her arguably more comparable to a Pharaoh. Her defensive stats are quite comparable to her myth sisters.
  • Before Retold, she did not have the Hero Death effect when she fell in battle.
