Spiked Bone Shield[]
- Surround yourself with a whirlwind of bones, absorbing physical damage equivalent to 30% of your Max Health and returning 30% damage to melee attackers. Nearby allies may use the Bone Wall synergy, increasing Spell Damage by [x] and granting a damage shield for 60% of their Max Health. The wall lasts 10 seconds and affects up to four nearby allies. Return damage to melee attackers.
- Update 1: This ability's damage return has been slightly increased [1]
- Update 6: Updated the visual effects for Bone Shield and both morphs.[2]
- Update 7: The damage from this ability is no longer reduced by Battle Spirit as it scales off incoming damage, which is already reduced.[3]
- Update 8: Fixed an issue where Spiked Armor and Spiked Bone Shield would trigger damage against attackers using Caltrops [4]
Bone Surge[]
Surround yourself with a whirlwind of bones, absorbing physical damage equivalent to 30% of your Max Health. Allies can activate the Spinal Surge synergy, absorbing damage to allies equal to 60% of their Max Health. It also grants them Minor Vitality, which increases healing received by 8%. The wall lasts 10 seconds and affects up to four nearby allies. Synergy increases ally healing received.
