Evaluation
Reyna attacks from a distance. As such, she will not be shutdown by anti-caster abilities such as the Ice Imp's Maelstrom or the Forgotten Illusionist's Chaos Storm, which makes her a good choice for areas such as the Ice Floe or Spearhead Peak. Even better, because she is often further away from monsters than the other henchmen, she will rarely be targeted by anti-weapon skills, such as the Avicara Wise's Ineptitude or the Enchanted Bow's Throw Dirt.

Pros Cons
 * Resilient, due to her armor.
 * Ranged consistent attacker.
 * Usually not high on monster AI's priority list, since she's usually far away and have relatively good armor.
 * Kindle Arrows gives her fire damage; very useful against cold-based enemies.
 * Poor selection and use of skills. One of the most effective ranger tactics is to be a menace for enemy spell casters, but she is not.
 * Moderate damage less suited for combat-heavy areas.

Tips
 * Reyna's characteristics make her a solid choice if you favor the consistency of a long-ranged damage dealer.
 * Use her range to your advantage. Exploit it in places such as the Nolani Academy mission where you can snipe at the Charr from the cliffside.
 * Reyna is a survivor. Due to the large amount of enemies who do elemental damage, Reyna often effectively has as much or more armor than any other henchmen.
 * In heated skirmishes, Reyna sometimes takes advantage of her relative safety, resurrecting a fallen party member to turn the tide of battle.

Dialogue

 * "Most people call me "Eagle Eye." That's because I'm the best Ranger this side of the Tarnished Coast. If you're lookin' for adventure then you'll be needin' someone to watch your back, someone who knows these lands like the back of her hand. My bow is at your service. Just say the word."
