Usage

• Place spirits in suitable locations - within range of combat, but in places where they cannot be attacked easily, such as behind map obstructions.
• Use Dust Trap at the spirits' location to prevent opposing melee characters from killing them.
• Place traps in and around the backline if defense is needed, or in opposing lines for offensive purposes.
• Use Oath Shot to recharge spirits and traps as needed.
• Activate Whirling Defense when trapping and when placing spirits with interrupting attacks nearby (e.g. Savage Shot, Distracting Blow).

Counters

• Gale reliably interrupts spirits.
• Avatar of Melandru dervishes can kill spirits easily, as they are immune to the blinding that Dust Trap applies.

Variants

• Flame Trap or Troll Unguent can take the place of Distracting Shot.
