Decreases the damage this Champion receives by 25%. Will decrease the damage this Champion receives by 50% instead if this Champion is under a [Shield] or [Magma Shield] buff. The amount of damage decreased in this way will be reflected back to all enemies.
Whenever this Champion or an ally kills an enemy with damage from [Reflect Damage] buffs, passive Reflect Damage effects or a [Magma Shield] buff, places an [Unkillable] buff on them for 1 turn. Occurs once per ally, per turn. 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 Owein Winterflame'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.
PvE
Stat priority
HP%- Bigger HP pool to soak hits for the team.
DEF%- Every point of DEF cuts the damage taken.
SPD- Protection, taunts and buffs only help if they come in time.

T5Lasting GiftsIts buffs can last a turn longer.
T6Elixir of Life+3,000 MAX HP.
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.
