Card Abilties
Mind Capture
When this unit attacks an enemy unit, if the damage added would be enough to destroy the target, you may instead ignore that damage and take control of the target.
Unit Background
Tacullu is an enigmatic being to the other summoners. She commands the wind, even seeming to float upon it as she glides across the battlefield. She wears a mask, and some have even speculated a wig, thus making it impossible to know her identity. Even her own lieutenants have never seen her face. The mysterious summoner claims to commune with an entity she calls Mother Eye, and it is this all-knowing being that supposedly guides the faction toward an unknown purpose.
This ultimate goal has led Tacullu to make strange alliances with other factions, factions who know they are being used, but find themselves unable to refuse what Tacullu offers them in exchange. Only time will reveal if Tacullu’s intentions, and those of her otherworldly benefactor are for good or ill.

Card Strategy
Tacullu is not like other summoners that strongly lead their faction from the start or that want to join the fray of combat as soon as possible. Instead Tacullu is like a "final boss", sitting in the back watching the action going while occasionally helping here and there. Then after all the dust has settled, Tacullu comes forth to finish the job. Her events and Mind Capture ability are particularly strong in the endgame.
However she does have three important roles early on:
- The first is to slow down enemy offensives. Some factions will try to rush the Breakers, and Mind Capture can quickly slow down the tempo of an early aggression by both getting control of a unit and taking a spot (the one where the unit was), crippling and slowing down the enemy offensive.
-The second is to help the Breakers take control of the opponent summoning spots, by capturing enemy units, thus limiting opponent options.
-Finally the third is to give Breakers a third attack where they normally would have none. Sometimes the Breakers will create tight spaces with few possible avenues of attack and Mind Capture can create a new avenue once the enemy unit is controlled.
Tacullu's Mind Capture is not a "straightforward strong" ability, compared to other summoners' abilities. Its power isn’t that much economically, but rather positional.
In general if the game enters a slow state you are better off just killing the enemy unit, but if the game is at a fast pace, Mind Capture allows you to gain tempo and positional advantages like no other.
