Trial Team: Yellow
“We’re just three kindly old spinster ladies…”

“…sucking the lives out of little children!”
Basic Animations
Entrance: The Sanderson Sisters fly in on their mounts–Winifred on her broom, Sarah on her mop, and Mary on her vacuum cleaner–and dismount at the front of the team. Sarah and Mary begin to hop for joy at the prospect of battle before Winifred, spellbook tucked under her left arm, rudely gestures at her sisters to pay attention.
Basic Attack: Cackling, Winifred lashes at nearby foes with her electrified nails, while Sarah jumps for joy and Mary looks back and forth between Winnie and Sarah, unsure of whether to be excited or nervous.
Victory: The Sanderson Sisters are bathed in a foreboding fiery aura as Winnie cackles triumphantly, Mary chuckles and bounces on her feet, and Sarah closes her eyes, raises her head, and beams with serene joy.
Defeat: Winnie falls to the ground and, in her impatience with her sisters, yells and grabs at them, pulling Mary and Sarah down to the ground with her, where they all lay in a thrashing heap before turning to stone.
Skills
White Skill: I’ll Put a Spell on You!
- Passive: With each basic attack, Winifred’s melee hits reduce affected enemies’ Reality by X (determined by Basic Damage) for 7 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. Mary’s nervous titters grant the Sanderson Sisters X (determined by Skill Power) Armor and Reality for 13 seconds. Sarah’s excited jumps for joy cause the Sanderson Sisters to become Energized for 6 seconds. While Energized, the Sanderson Sisters receive 50 extra Energy each time they basic attack.
- Active: The Sanderson Sisters put on a show for their foes, Distracting and Silencing the enemy team for 14 seconds. Enemies who are Distracted focus their attacks on the target that Distracted them. This ability has a chance to fail against enemies above level X.
- Animation: Winifred produces a microphone while Mary shines a flashlight on a disco ball held up by Sarah, causing the battlefield to briefly resemble a dance floor. Winnie then sings a brief number and dazzles the enemy team, before Sarah drops the disco ball and startles Mary into dropping the flashlight, startling Winnie into dropping the microphone.
Green Skill: Come, Little Children (
)
- Sarah sings an entrancing tune to deal X (determined by Skill Power) Fantastic damage to all enemies and Charming them for 8 seconds. Once the Charm expires, or if the Charm is resisted, enemies have their attack and movement speeds reduced by 40% for 10 seconds and are Hexed for 8 seconds. Hexed enemies that attempt to use their White Skill will have their Energy consumed and be Stunned for 5 seconds.
- Animation: Sarah outstretches her arms, one at a time, as her aria (represented by lines of music) streams through the enemy team and applies the status effects to them.
Blue Skill: A Gruesome Treat? ()
- Mary discovers a chocolate bar and bites into it, healing the Sanderson Sisters for X (determined by Skill Power) HP and increasing their maximum HP by 20% for the rest of the wave. Disgusted, Mary then throws the half-eaten candy bar at the nearest enemy, dealing X (determined by Skill Power) Fantastic damage and Stunning the target for 8 seconds. The Stun has a chance to fail against enemies above level X.
- Animation: A chocolate bar glitches into existence at the Sanderson Sisters’ feet. Mary notices it and picks it up. Delighted, she takes a bite out of the chocolate-covered finger of a man named Clark, only for her to discover it is merely candy, much to the Sisters’ dismay. She then throws the contemptuous treat at the nearest enemy with a grimace.
Purple Skill: Protective Charms
- At the start of each wave, the Sanderson Sisters cast a shielding spell on themselves and allies, increasing the team’s Reality by X (determined by Skill Power) and healing them for X (determined by Skill Power) every second for 10 seconds. Allies affected by this skill cannot be critically hit. The crit immunity has a chance to fail against enemies above level X.
- Animation: Winifred pulls out her spellbook, flipping through the pages until she finds the desired spell, grins with confident delight, and raises her right arm, casting the spell and causing the buffs to appear on the team. She then tucks the spellbook back under her left arm.
Red Skill: The Wickedest Witches in Salem ()
- When a buff is stolen or removed from the Sanderson Sisters or one of their allies, they recast Protective Charms on that ally for 5 seconds per buff stolen or removed.
- Enemies that are Hexed take X (determined by Skill Power) Fantastic damage each time they gain Energy (maximum of once per second).
- The Sanderson Sisters deal 25% increased damage to children.

The Sanderson Sisters have not given up their goal of attaining eternal youth, and their arrival in the City very swiftly brings them into the path of one Vanellope von Schweetz. Her youth is highly enticing, which is a plus. But she’s covered in candy, and launches mints and sodas in battle, which is a minus. But she’s just brimming with youth! They’ve gotta have it! Winifred decides that they’ll sort out the candy issue later–for now, they’ve just gotta catch that girl!

Robin Hood and his merry men can’t help but notice that the sinister Sanderson Sisters, despite being skilled in arcane magic, are nothing but a group of buffoons. Donning a disguise, Robin Hood convinces Winifred that he is a wizened old warlock who can conjure up a spell to restore their youth if the Sisters can obtain some spell components for him. Said components just happen to be Ursula’s magic cauldron, Maleficent’s emerald-tipped staff, and Yzma’s potion collection. The result will be immensely weakened and furious witches fighting immensely confused and inept witches, and that’s a show that Robin Hood wouldn’t dare miss!
