She's often the third Hero for professional Undead players if a Tavern is available, since her silencing capability can easily change the tide of a battle and her Dark Minions make excellent fodder for the Death Knight's Death Pact and the Lich's Dark Ritual. Outside of the staff of silence (which is rarely seen in many matches), she is generally the only unit who can prevent spellcasters from supporting their allies.
The Dark Ranger is an interesting Hero as she can perform many roles for the player. Anya Eversong, Nara Pathstrider, Anthis Sunbow, Clea Deathstrider, Cyndia Hawkspear, Mira Shadewither, Amora Eagleye, Siren Ghostsong, and Somand Wayfinder.
