• Amazonian Battle Cry. She lets out a fierce battle cry, granting herself and all friendly creatures within 60 feet advantage on their next attack roll.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Otrera can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects:

• A rain of flaming arrows rains down in a 60-foot radius centered on a point she can see within 120 feet. Each creature in that area must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
• The ground trembles, causing the battlefield to become difficult terrain for non-Amazons. Otrera and her summoned Amazon warriors are unaffected by this effect.
