If we're giving Cherchiel a break, how about sending Talwa out? The bindings interfere with accuracy, but she's got a spell with a wide enough area of effect that that might not matter. Actually, could we have her borrow Maple's Targetting Helmet to try and balance out the decreased accuracy as well? For an opponent, how about Candy? We're basically guessing about their abilities until the matchup is settled, and we can pivot depending on what the Identify spell turns up before the fight starts. Also, make sure to use some mana potions to refill her mana.
