Tips on Using Shamir

Pros	She's a powerful offensive unit, with skills that allow for better critical rates when timed right. If assigned a healer adjutant, she can pretty much go out on her own without much help!
Cons	As adjutant she doesn't have many support abilities, but is very useful offensively.
