If you want a build to try with this merc, try my "Bro'ken" composition, currently blasting through PVE & undefeated in the PVP training grounds. Includes guide: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/mercenaries/parties/32-broken/
I just love Brightwing.
In PVE, especially in heroic it will be key to not lose your mercs between fights. And the best way to do it, is switching mercs from the bench to the frontline. Normally you cant do this, but Brightwing's unique ability allows it. The bench-buffing and healing is just the ice on the cake.
She is also full of nature abilities, and it seems like that school has the most grindy abilities, so she will fit well in a nature comp. Or in any team, really, she is so special.
Really fun concept. I feel like one comp I want to try is this with Tyrande & Furion, and then a bunch of attacking-based mercs in the back. (Sylvanas, Illidan, maybe Tirion, probably Grom or something just to not have too many fighters.) Lets you bring in your backline heavy hitters while being extremely disruptive without having to sac anything.
Ugh, Brightwing. I hate this little shit, in Mercenaries or otherwise. Faerie Breath + Phase Shift seems like they're meant to go together, buffing up your bench before you swap with one to finish the fight. On brand for this nuisance of a character, but wouldn't you rather just bring a more impactful character to begin with? I don't think a grindy playstyle will be super effective, but there's certainly enough Mercs with that mentality in mind so maybe I'm wrong.
All-in-all, I sincerely hope I do not pull Brightwing, but I just know that I will.
Brightwing's Ring seems kind of pointless in PvE unless you are expecting someone to die.
