A2
Cerulean Guard
Cooldown 5 → 4 with books
Attacks 1 enemy. If the target has 50% HP or less, this attack is always critical and will ignore 50% of the target’s DEF.
Places a [Shield] buff on all allies for 2 turns. The value of the [Shield] is equal to the difference between the target's current HP and the target's MAX HP. If target is a Boss, the value of the [Shield] is proportional to this Champion’s DEF instead.
If the target is killed, also reduces the cooldowns of all ally skills by 2 turns.

A3
Jeweled Leaf
Cooldown 4 → 3 with books
Heals all allies. The value of the heal is proportional to this Champion’s DEF.
Places a [Block Damage] buff on all allies for 1 turn at the start of the Round, and each time this Champion’s HP drops below 50%.
If there are multiple Champions on the team with this skill, only one will activate. This skill will not activate on duplicate copies of this Champion, if this particular Champion is dead.
Skill texts, cooldowns and book upgrades are the game's own. "Damage" is the skill's multiplier
(for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see
how damage works.
Suggested build
A starting point worked out from Niamhe, Spear of Nyresa's own skills - not a hand-tested build. Each line says why it was picked; your gear and team decide the rest. See what stats each champion needs.

DEF%- Every point of DEF cuts the damage taken.
SPD- Protection, taunts and buffs only help if they come in time.
RES- Shrugs off enemy debuffs.
ACC- Optional - only the A1 places [Decrease ATK], so other stats come first.

Blessings
Chainbreaker- Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.
Ward of the Fallen- Damage reduction that grows as the fight turns bad - good on a champion that must survive to keep the team's buffs and heals flowing.
Intimidating Presence- A good fit on a leader whose aura is worth boosting; wasted on a champion that is not leading.
Hand of Uncreation- Makes enemy debuffs, buff removal, turn-meter steals and cooldown increases land less often on the wearer - protects the champion that holds the team together.
Volcardiac Heart- Puts a protective buff on the whole team as the fight opens, which helps most when the first rounds are the dangerous ones.
Tempus Morbidia- Enemy turn-meter reduction and steals work less well on the wearer - useful where a slow support is easy prey.
