Rokara

Rokara is a legendary warrior minion card, from the Forged in the Barrens set.

Strategy
Rokara's buffing effect allows her considerable versatility regardless of when she's played. In the early game, she can trade into other weaker minions and buff herself, or allow other friendly minions to trade with opponents or attack directly and get buffed.

Make removing Rokara a top priority whenever she shows up or run the risk of her effect quickly snowballing.
