Tiel
Agile, elusive, and strongest when fights stay clean.

Tiel overview
Fast evasive Shell for players who prefer short openings, clean dodges, and burst windows.
Good for confident players who dodge well, but less forgiving than heavier Shells because mistakes are punished quickly.
How to unlock Tiel
Early route notes place Tiel east of Mushroom Village near a fenced, torchlit camp. Re-check the exact path in-game before relying on final map wording.
- Head southeast from Widow's Overlook Beacon, past the Great Arbiter arena.
- Keep east of Mushroom Village to a fenced, torchlit camp.
- Interact with Tiel's gravestone and let the memory play out.
How to play Tiel
Use invisibility to land critical stabs, then re-engage from safety.
A fragile Shell that can be punished hard if caught in the open.
