Ansel

Ansel is the large, strong warden of the Downwood. Feats of his valor include fighting the snake, Hesster, when he was a child. while Nez might look tougher Ansel has more Defense and Movement mean he can charge in to a group of minions with little fear of being hit. Very good frontliner plus Retribution attack(or whatever its called) can punch a hole in the enemies line

Strategy: Frontline

Ansel is currently the only warden in Mice and Mystics, making him able to use exclusive abilities. Ansel is a very good melee combatant, maybe even better than Nez because of the higher Defense. The items I recommend For him are the Ring of Cat Strength or the Turtle Shell, both can't be worn however (Ring of Cat Strength requires 2 movement and Turtle Shell lowers your movement by one). with those items you can make Ansel a Beast or a tank. however the turtle shell can't be taken threw the chapters so a campaign item would be leather breastplate or ring of cat strength, bit the ring of cat strength is better with Collin in my opinion.
