Key Attributes: Tibeb the Sage is a leader to her peoples and fights equally as ferociously as the rest of her kin. While she is armed with a staff, she also carries various bags and pouches around her waist. Each containing different herbs, ointments, potions and bandages she can use on the battlefield. 

Inspiration: Unlike Orcs, or Wildmen of Dunland, Haradrim are well trained warriors with numerous years of experience and warfare. These fighters have precise and efficient attacks. They don't overextend themselves, but their actions demonstrate ferocity and brutality.

Strategy Tips:

• Tibeb’s Leader Ability, Fight As One, allows any Haradrim squad member’s passive to be used by all other Haradrim squad members, but only while that squad member is a living ally. 
• Additionally, Tibeb’s leader ability allows the Haradrim squad to make full use of Black Serpent’s Poison when Robel is an ally. Make sure to target key enemies with this unique Bane that converts Boons into Poison.
• Tibeb's ability Coiled Serpent will cleanse banes from herself and 3 allies. Use this at the right time to ensure Yeftu’s passive ability grants extra Crit Chance through Tibeb’s Leader Ability.
