Skills

[Heal] – Heal whoever needs it, i do around 412k per heal onself and 260k-270k heal on others.
[Sanctuary] – Cast on the ground for extra heal
[Assumptio] – Good Skill to reduce damage make sure you give this to your teammates in BG, this wont hurt Freya Shield Redux Because its redux is calculated after freya shield redux
[Cloak] – Good for escaping, NOTE: cloak is not only for hiding but its also used so that they cant click you.
[Pneuma] – Buff: Cast on the ground and prevent ranged attacks
[Safety Wall] – Buff: Cast on ground and prevent melee attacks
[Status Recovery] – Buff: Use on teammates who have abnormal status
[Holy Light] – Use this on enemies, but this is not for the damage but for the dispell proc from Dominance
[Lex Aterna] – Use this on enemies, to double the damage of the next attack, i usually spam this on whoever my team is focusing their attacks on
[Aspersio] – Use this on enemies,to give their weapons holy element that way they do no damage to the emperium or if you're wearing holy armor they do reduced damage on you
[Decrease Agility] – Use this on enemies,to slow them down
[Angelus] –In this server it removes 5 soft def at level 5 which is good for anti-thana.
[Gloria] – In this server it gives +100 luck which is good in providing extra atk, hit and perfect dodge.
[Sight + Sight Trasher] – Breaks traps and reveals invisibility (requires Sight Gem).
[Spider Web] – From Evil Glove; immobilizes enemies.
[Close Confine] – From Gertie garment; locks enemies in place.
[HSS: Revitalize] – Extra healing (via HSS scroll).

Playstyle

WHO TO PRIORITIZE HEAL: Devo Pally, the emp breaker, the ecaller, OR if i see someone who has high damage but is soft i heal him as well, dont forget to heal yourself as well
If you're on the attack and no ones in dire need of healing, use holy light on the enemy so you can dispell them and lex aterna to increase their damage received
WHO TO PRIORITIZE IN DISPELL: usually if i see GX with soul link i dispell them asap, and Warlocks and sorcs to remove their energy coats, or suras with steel body, it is also good agains RKs and RGs. Other uses of dispell, is if a physical class attacks you, you can use GR scroll to remove weapon converter buffs making their attacks neutral soo GR will reduce their damage on you, although this can be countered with cards that endow the weapon with an element without converter buffs. One downside of holy light dispell is that if they enemy wears holy armor holy light will miss so you cant proc dispell
AB generally is tankier, soo you can front line as well, and break traps for your teammates using sight gem
Noble Hat is important for your heal soo its a staple on your head, but you can switch to 35% redux helm for extra redux when you wanna charge in and break traps or if you plan to capture the flag, i also switch to spring cape with 2% demi redux and fused snakelord for the anti curse soo i can run with the flag. Because of shoes of affection (which is an AB exclusive shoes), i can stack up to 86% demi redux or 88% if i switch to freya garment
IF SOMEONE USES MANA BURN ON YOU: RG is a good example; who uses pressure on you to burn mana/SP, if this happens switch to the 2x fused pharaoh cards to decrease your SP consumption by 100% so that you can still heal even with zero SP, although lesser healer but at least you can survive
IF you feel like there is still too much damage and you can't outheal it, dont forget to add sanctuary to the ground to help you heal
You dont have to mainly use SAFETY WALL for defense, you can do aggressive safety wall, if you place safety wall on an enemy this will prevent pneuma on their spot, so that your teammates with ranged damage can kill him
Use Cloak for mobility—to escape certain situations
WHEN DEFENDING EMPERIUM: Use safetywall to protect emp from breaker, and then use aspersio on the breakers to prevent them from hurting the emp since the Emp is holy, for BG emp can be healed with sanctuary so dont forget to place it. Now the only way to counter Aspersio is if your enemy wears undead armor, soo if aspersio is not working he's probbaly wearing undead armor, soo use holy attacks on him such as heal, judex, sanctuary, magnus exorcimus, and turn undead.
FINAL NOTES: YOU ARE SUPPORT so play like one, stop trying to kill with coma, and choosing to heal only yourself in the hopes that you will coma your enemy to death, You are better off healing someone or doing lex aterna, or dispelling someone, or breaking traps, casting pneuma / safetywall etc. The right player to heal in a fight can turn the tides in a fight and win you the match, if you end up on a 1 v 1 with someone, dont switch to coma in the hopes that it will kill him, just leave and support your teammates, you have better chances of winning if you can save your team and push for objectives

Final Notes

This build assumes 500 BG games and lvl 5 elite for full optimization.

Ideal ping: 100ms or lower.
If laggy: Add VIT, reduce STR/LUK, consider +10 Libra OL [Hades] instead of freya shield.
