If you play the arena, the Bard is my favorite class to use when I have to use Matilda since she does the most damage and if you have the Nightmare set she is deadly. If you don’t have the Nightmare set and don’t care about the arena, then I think Paladin followed by Skulkers is what you should spend your LC on. Skulkers is much better in the arena than the Bard.
Skulkers is great when you have to fight someone who is using the Princess. If you can’t cleanse your birds, Skulkers’ secondary skill will let you get around that. For example, a party like Druid, Skulkers, and Sea Dog loses the toss and is forced to attack the opponent’s banner. You attach the Sea Dog to the Druid, then use Skulkers’ Tricksy Trick on the Druid, all 3 enemy birds are now affected by the Druid’s thorny vine and the Sea Dog attacks whatever bird the Druid attacked. The banner isn’t affected so you have to use a Druid attack for that, but you again get the benefit of the Sea Dog’s Gang Up. Next round you attach the Sea Dog to Skulkers, have the Druid heal and when you use Skulkers’ skill on himself he randomly attacks something and everything including the banner are affected by weak spot. The Wizard’s Speed of Light attack is another way to get around the Princess’ Royal Order skill without having to cleanse so you might want a party like Druid, Wizard and Skulkers if you don’t have the Sea Dog.
