Raelyn is a free hero and the second Hero available in Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance. Raelyn is a member of the Dark Army.
Description
The imposing Raelyn lives to lead the Dark Knights at the vanguard. Her brutality and relentlessness earned her Vez'nan's recognition and the Linirean's fear. Always ready for a good fight, she was the first volunteer to join the Dark Wizard's ranks.
Raelyn emerged as a Squire and swiftly ascended ranks to Dark Knight during Vez'nan's victorious Crusade.
She was entrusted with the leadership of a specialized unit against the mightiest adversaries. The success of her squadron was such that the Dark Lord himself demanded her presence within his innermost circle.
Raelyn cultivates big devotion among her knights and is fiercely loved among the Dark Knights.
Raelyn leads by example, fighting side by side with her knights on the frontline. She unveils her face to serve as a reminder of their shared destiny on the battlefield. If it comes to it, she is prepared to face oblivion together with her knights.

Tips and Tricks
Hero Synergy
Strategy
Raelyn is highly durable, therefore it is recommended to put her up against tough, dangerous enemies that would wipe out squishier allies. This, combined with her brutal slash ability which can knock out a large chunk of enemy hp through armor, makes her a good tank/ tank killer. She is most effective in chokepoints alongside reinforcements and/or barracks, due to her inspire fear ability which stuns enemies and temporarily lowers their damage, making your allies last longer in combat.
Her hero spell, Command Orders, summons a tanky and strong Dark Knight that can block and damage strong enemies anywhere around the map.
She is quite slow though, so it is not recommended to move her large distances unless necessary.
And since she is slow, it's usually a better idea to use a fast hero alongside most slow heroes as it makes up for their weakness of having very low mobility (keep this in mind with all slow heroes that you encounter)
