If you factor in 2 attacks (ricochet) from Rathrock, and blood boon, more survivability (camping less), and no upkeep spells, I think you'll find that they have a very similar personal impact on the game in spite of the significantly different fury stat.
You are correct though. Calandra has an impact on the game through Befuddle and Star Crossed that is difficult to quantify. I think that's why I have a difficult time choosing her over the more straight forward choices.

Here's a POD Calandra list that I think might be ok. I feel bad not adding mulg or a bomber, but I think this lost provides a good mix:
War Room Army
Theme: The Power of Dhunia 3 / 3 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Calandra Truthsayer, Oracle of the Glimmerwood - WB: +27 - Trollkin Runebearer - PC: 0 - Storm Troll - PC: 9 (Battlegroup Points Used: 9) - Dire Troll Mauler - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 15) - Earthborn Dire Troll - PC: 14 (Battlegroup Points Used: 3) - Earthborn Dire Troll - PC: 14 - Swamp Troll - PC: 8 - Swamp Troll - PC: 8 - Winter Troll - PC: 8 - Winter Troll - PC: 8
Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress - PC: 4 Troll Whelps - 5 Whelps: 0 Troll Whelps - 5 Whelps: 0
Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes - Leader & 5 Grunts: 9 - Stone Scribe Elder - PC: 3 Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew - Leader & 1 Grunt: 2

I set her aside in Mark Ii because a friend was not enjoying games, but even then I would have been nervous playing her without Janissa or a cloudbot. 14/14/14 is pretty much victim stats. I suppose she can hang back further now, but then she can't befuddle much. A couple clouds and Lanissa to strip eyeless sight, now, that would be funny.
Other funny is to add Agata for a second counter-charge during your own turn. Not necessarily good, but saying "now I counter/charge you again with this model." seems worth the points at least on casual night.

Not necessarily good, but saying "now I counter/charge you again with this model." seems worth the points at least on casual night. I mean she will pretty much always have the stone for ARM 16, and she has star crossed for effectively DEF 16. Then you could have Bullet Dodger and Earths Blessing up if you feel threatened for effectively DEF 18 with dodge and steady. I think her vulnerability is greatly exaggerated. She is not a front line caster, sure, but she isnt really a victim either. Just compared to many of our other casters who are absurdly well protected on average. As far as warlocks go, across the game i think she is probably at least average...

In MK2 Calandra had 14" star-crossed, so there was lot of shooting that go past it. Now star-crossed is 18" to longer range are really rare.

I can see both of those as good points. I really look forward to getting time to play again so I can try thing out.

This is somethin i am currently playin with her: War Room Army Trollblood - Good Omens Theme: Storm of the North 2 / 2 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army Calandra Truthsayer, Oracle of the Glimmerwood - WB: +27 - Trollkin Runebearer - PC: 0 - Earthborn Dire Troll - PC: 14 (Battlegroup Points Used: 14) - Troll Bouncer - PC: 9 (Battlegroup Points Used: 9) - Rök - PC: 19 (Battlegroup Points Used: 4) Valka Curseborn, Chieftain of the North - PC: 0 Dahlia Hallyr - Hallyr & Skarath: 17 - Skarath Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes - Leader & 3 Grunts: 6 - Northkin Elder - PC: 3 Northkin Bear Handler & Battle Bears - Bear Handler & 2 Battle Bears: 10 Northkin Bear Handler & Battle Bears - Bear Handler & 2 Battle Bears: 10 Northkin Fire Eaters - Leader, Trollkin Grunt, and Pyg Grunt: 7 Northkin Fire Eaters - Leader, Trollkin Grunt, and Pyg Grunt: 7 THEME: Storm of the North --- GENERATED : 04/07/2019 10:24:57 BUILD ID : 2069.18-10-06 Bulletdodger goes on Rök which should be absolutely brutal but it kinda failed me. Actually i named the list "make valka great again" since he Used to fail all the time and was dying to random shit all the time... First things i'd swap would be Rök and valka (!) but maybe i just need some more games. Bomber Used to be gold with her, but so many shieldguards running around atm... Nevertheless its a blast to play and featturn + bears murders big stuff good. Befuddle + countercharge is also hilarious
