Overview

War Witch is a hero trainer in Croatoa in the Sunset Ridge neighborhood, located on the small northern island in the lake. Her coordinates are (-22, 35, 826), and her location is marked on the map as a contact. Originally, she could also be found as an NPC in Pocket D on the upper floor of the hero side, but with Issue 13, she is now a trainer for both sides in Pocket D.

Background

History

War Witch was an active character in every issue of the Blue King Studios City of Heroes comic book as a member of an unnamed supergroup with Horus and Apex.

She perished in a battle with Requiem in the last issue (#12) before Top Cow took over the comic book. However, even death itself cannot keep her from being a presence in Paragon City to help to train new heroes.

With the opening of Pocket D, another incarnation of War Witch was discovered. Unlike the spectral presence she has in Croatoa, this one is alive and well, since it is in an alternate dimension. Prior to Issue 13, she seemed content with simply observing and occasionally conversing with anyone near her, but with Issue 13, she became a trainer contact.
