• The Smiter are the same as the 600HP Ritualist Tank

Notes

Both routes in the Holdings of Chokhin

• A hero can be used for the smiter, but they will not have 16 in both attributes. Furthermore, it is tricky to give yourself Holy Wrath and Shield of Judgment while tanking.
• Any caster can play the 600, as long as there is someone who casts Spell Breaker.
• This can be also be run with one team, backtracking via the shrine at the beginning to continue onto the second route. Obviously it takes twice the time.
