Sadowy

General
Sadowy, also known as "The Green Shadow", is one of the four Thorn Heroes, specializing in dealing Poison Damage Over Time (DoT) damage, as well as stasis, against enemy ships.

Advantages
Sadowy's Active Power, Envenom, applies Poison DoT Damage to all ships and also applies minor stasis at the same time, severely crippling your enemy's advances, while slowly weakening them to allow your ships to finish the job.

Sadowy's Passive Power supports Fireflies and Verdants, two ships that have massive damage potential towards ships and the Capital Ship, respectively. Such a boost can make them tough to put down before significant damage can be dealt.

While the charge rate is lower than other Heroes (second to Fleming), it is possible to gain two charges over the full battle.

Disadvantages
While Sadowy's Active Power might be fearsome, it is not a guaranteed kill on some heavily armored ships, such as the Aegis or Ironside, thus some input from your ships is needed to either weed them down for the Poison DoT to kill them or to finish up after the DoT expires.

Strategy
Sadowy can be used as an alternative to Ped.R0, as her Active Power can weaken enemy ships, allowing your ships to finish the job or allow the weakened ships to perish from the DoT damage. While the DoT damage she deals is minor at low levels, it can be quite potent when she's at a high enough level. The stasis applied from her Active Ability can also allow you to get the upper hand, by getting into formation sooner and attack the already poisoned ships.
