I know I am a little late to the party with this one, but as I was too slow for Aya on Black Friday, I at least spent my Christmas-money this year on Snow the Savior.

With this box you get 4 minis with corresponding art cards, 4 rare gear, the Legendary Character card, a Secret Fighting Art and an Innovation which functions as a “core game upgrade”!

First released at GenCon 2025, Snow is the third entry into the Legendary Character line of products after Aya and Glow who were first released the year prior. And much the same as with Glow, this box features 4 different variations of Snow in miniature form all from various stages throughout her life.
The sculpts for these 4 minis you may or may not know as “Savior 20 years” and so on already, but have all been updated to be in the currently used scale.

There is also a good chance that you have met Snow in the game before as well, as she is featured in basic Hunt Event 14.
Also, again, Stone Face Bases are not included.

As for gameplay content, Snow features an Innovation radically altering the potential usages of your Saviors during any given campaign. Whilst her character card is literally just a trigger for the event Birth of a Savior, said innovation holds all the power.
Lucid Dreams (I) is a Hovel consequence that ups your Survival Limit by +2 and opens up 3 different ways for your Saviors to spend their life-force regardless of what color affinity they belong to. Once per settlement phase they can trigger one of these effects by gaining the allotted amount of hunt xp:
For 2 hunt xp you can draw 1 of the 4 random staves included with the box. As this effect mentions just drawing “a random dream gear” this may very well include other items released at a future point in time.
For 3 hunt xp the savior can gain the Dreamform Secret Fighting Art included in the box.
Or..
For 6 hunt xp – the big one – you may draw the top card of your innovation deck and add it to the settlement at no further cost.

Overall Lucid Dreams presents a very different avenue for your saviors to go down, as most of them will surely be busy staying at home manifesting innovation after innovation.
If you are more combat-inclined with your saviors, Dreamform (SFA) as well as the staves offer interesting abilities that interlock with the more typical Savior gameplay.

It should be noted that the staves all have the Ethereal keyword, which means they will be archived if you don’t have a savior around anymore, so you need to be mindful of that.
In addition to a wild combination of differently colored affinities, each of these staves has an ability that triggers when the savior wielding the item gains hunt xp.
One might grant an activation to another survivor, or gain +1MOV, ACC & STR in tokens yourself. You might also get reroll-tokens or grant survival even, depending on which one you get.

Dreamform (SFA) also comes along with stats, +1STR, EVA and LCK to be precise, whilst it offers another triggerable ability to gain additional affinities and a reduction in the amount of hunt xp you gain for using your abilities for the rest of the fight at the cost of the savior ceasing to exist during the fight’s aftermath.
There are some shenanigans you can pull off thanks to the wording, but I’ll leave that up to you to figure out.

I also mentioned that her box is a “core game upgrade”, this merely means that once you have it, Lucid Dreams (I) is added to any campaign as a Hovel consequence.
If this is a general buff to saviors and/or Hovel (or even PtY) or just another nerf will likely be up to personal opinion I think. But for what its worth the +2 Survival Limit is definitely nice to have even when you are getting unlucky with your saviors.
There is also the 6-Hovel-consequences-campaign just waiting to be played now (featuring both Manhunter and Sunstalker).

Personally, I have not had the best luck with Saviors thus far in my games, the most memorable ones typically being either abrupt deaths (brain traumas!) or when my friend just squandered the ability for no reason at all.
..
..
Just to see her disappear, I guess?

Anyway, I hope between Morgan and Snow I will be seeing at least a couple more of them in time, to actually experiment with this somewhat rare aspect of PotLantern gameplay.
Furthermore Lucid Dreams might also give at least a little more credence to picking Protect the Young.

However, Snow the Savior is currently priced at $77 on the shop and thus a sizeable investment, personally I would still rather recommend Glow, but I guess that could be seen as contentious as well, even if she weren’t sold out currently.
From a pure power perspective: Aya stands head and shoulders above these other 2, though I wouldn’t say she is a “must buy” by any means either (she is also sold out currently as well).
So many words to say so little:
General White Box rules apply to this product line!
IF you like the minis/theme of the box AND can reasonably afford it: go buy it!

So.., final verdict: does Snow “save” Saviors, Hovel (I) and/or Protect the Young? No. And I don’t think she needed to.
Are you meta-gaming White Boxes now? Stop it!
Stop it!
Like all White Boxes, she does offer new toys for you to play with and gives an incentive to go after playstyles/choices you may not have made before.
I do still think that Legendary Characters are in a somewhat tough spot considering you will only ever see one of them per campaign, but I guess the same could be said about Wanderers as well and nobody ever made that big a deal out of them being one-per-campaign.
..
Yeah, I’m already back to my White-Box-mantra.

In any case, I will be adding Lucid Dreams to Season 3, Bloody Shallows’ innovation deck and we will see if we actually get a chance to draw it anytime soon. That deck is about as thicc as it can get right about now.
As for the Character card .. I don’t have nearly enough of them in general to build a full deck as per the actual rules, but I typically aim to use them after I innovate Shrine (I) so I still got a little bit of time to make up my mind on that part.
Just be aware that Snow might make a “railroaded” appearance at some point.

And I will leave it at that. It is freezing cold here right about now, so Snow was in a way an appropriate choice for me to write about.
As always, thank you very much for your time, go make a Hovel a home!
