Usage

• Use Spear of Lightning for additional damage.
• Use "Coward!" to support Melee allies, by Knocking Down fleeing opponents.

• Try staying out of enemy fire as much as possible.
• Use Resurrection Signet as needed.

Counters

• Use Signet of Return as a hard resurrection.
• Disrupting Throw.
• Barbed Spear and Maiming Spear for Crippling.
