=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a Nutshell===
The Night Witch falls on enemy light infantry like locusts on a field of corn, chewing through them and moving on. Killing Spree means that she can keep going until she runs out of targets in her range, and tagging an already crippled warbeast/warjack with an attack will prevent them from recovering on your opponents turn. She buffs her Bloodweaver sisters as well, allowing them to murder the enemy just as easily as she does. And a Blood Witch adds Dispel to the army for some really useful anti-upkeep tech.

This model exemplifies Circle’s ability to mulch infantry with impunity. A well placed Night Witch will tear through most or even all of a poorly spaced unit. She can be buffed by roughly half of Circle’s warlocks and increases the potential of a unit of Bloodweavers. On her own or with a unit of Bloodweavers, this model adds a flexible value to most lists. With native stealth she can sit back and camp a flag and with two initials she can potentially make an initial attack and keep making Killing Spree follow up moves/attacks, and when she misses can then use her second initial to start up the Killing Spree engine again. Applying Grievous to enemy jacks and beasts will prevent their recovery of systems or spirals, neutering enemy options even if she isn’t killing those jacks or beasts.

Post CID changes means she lost her previously unique combination of Blood Rituals and Life Drinker, but traded them for Weapon Master and the attack type Life Stealer, allowing her to always have an extra die of damage and contribute another healing mechanic into an army, possibly solving order of activation issues by healing warbeasts in her CMD so that the warlock and or Shifting Stones can attend to other tasks. One reason many lists include a Night Witch is for her new attack type: Dispel. Being able to remove enemy upkeep spells and animi on hit is a powerful tool that can swing many matchups.

She may shine best under [[Iona]] and under [[Baldur1]]. [[Baldur1]] can contribute [[Solid Ground]] to a list of two Night Witches with three units of Bloodweavers + the Bloodweaver UAs, creating nearly 30 stealth, DEF 14, no knockdown and blast resistant Killing Spree bodies (though after the 2021.10 changes ARM 15 might not be enough to save them from all blasts). Additionally, his feat granting cover allows them to be DEF 18 on the approach.

===Combos & Synergies===
<u>Warlocks</u>
* [[Baldur1]] can provide [[Stone Skin]] for additional hitting power and [[Solid Ground]] for blast resistance (+4 ARM).
* [[Grayle]] can put [[Storm Rager]] on her to give her greater accuracy and POW.
* [[Iona]] can significantly improve her ability to hit higher defense targets and improve the odds of cracking armor with her FEAT granting rerolls to attacks and +3 STR.
* [[Kromac2]] casting [[Carnage]] improves her odds of high defense targets.
* [[Krueger1]] can grant her weapon 2" reach via Lightning Tendrils, and make her more difficult to shoot down with Gale Winds. Remember that the Electro Leap from Lightning Tendrils is optional - you don't want to kill a model via leap if you need it to dig further into the enemy.
* [[Morvahna1]] can effectively make her a MAT9 and POW12 weapon master due to [[Mortality]].
* [[Morvahna2]] can let you re-roll failed attack and damage rolls, helping to ensure the Witch's Killing Spree isn't interrupted by bad dice.
* [[Tanith]] can put [[Affliction]] on an enemy unit, making them much easier to hit and not having to worry about the damage roll against single-wound infantry. [[Scything Touch]] can also up the Witch's hitting power.
* [[Una2]] can giver her [[Hand of Fate]] although Una usually has better targets for that spell.

<u>Non-warlocks</u>
* She grants [[Tharn Bloodweavers]] Killing Spree, allowing them to cut through units like her.
* [[Tharn Ravager White Mane]] has Veteran Ability Tharn, giving her +1 to attack rolls
* [[Boil Master & Spirit Cauldron]] can hand out Puppet Master to increase her likelihood of making an important attack or damage roll.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* No way of cracking armor of any kind.
* MAT 7 for a solo won't break high DEF
* Can be one-shotted by most things that hit her.

===Tricks & Tips===
* Jacks and Beasts only need to be hit with [[Grievous Wounds]] to be affected by it. Tagging a beast with a crippled aspect or a jack with a crippled cortex can be debilitating for the enemy.
