- 2Add recovery or sustain only if it improves real uptime.
- 3Spend leftover Spirit on damage after the defensive layer is stable.
Why this template starts with defense
A damage aura can look efficient on paper, but a character that cannot stay alive loses damage uptime quickly.
This template starts from defense and recovery so you can decide whether the build needs stability before speed.
When to replace an aura
If the character already survives comfortably, switch one defensive reservation into a damage or consistency effect and compare the result.
If the package becomes overreserved, remove the weakest optional effect before replacing multiple gear pieces.
Patch Review Note
The best defensive package depends on enemy pressure, gear, and patch balance. Treat the template as a comparison tool.
FAQ
Is this only for campaign characters?
No. It is a defensive planning baseline. Adjust the Spirit values and active reservations to match your current gear.
Should a defensive aura always come before damage?
Not always. It should come first when survivability is the build's current bottleneck.
