Equipment

• Armor Survivor and/or Radiant insignia with vigor rune (try not to make the heroes health far above 500)
• Weapons +20% enchantment blood magic staff, two HCT mods
  • Players may also want 40/40 sets if taking any optionals that would benefit more from that than they would from the staff.

Usage

Players

• Maintain Awaken the Blood, Aura of Restoration and Ether Renewal

Heroes

• Set the hero to Guard.

Counters

• Heavy enchantment removal.
• Generic caster-hate.

Notes

• Ether Renewal can be maintained without Glyph of Swiftness as long as consumables are used. However, it is not critical that it be completely maintained, as you have a large energy pool to draw from during the short downtime and no risk of energy being spiked.
