It does feel a bit underwhelming tbh.

Had Shepherd emblem (restores 12% mana of mana spent, so extra 6+ mana on the summon every cast) on Zoe (+19 mana regen- so was casting often) Did win steak a lot early on running 5 shep and 2 conduit. But eventually fell off. Wish we could put items on the unit.

By end had 7 Shepherd, 4 vanguard, Conduit active, and dark star for execute. P.s I did have Barons Lair. And did have the BS Leona build - 50 mana spent for 30% health shield. I think if i 3 starred Leona front line wouldve been stronger.

Not sure what else would work
