  • Body’s Resolve increases regeneration rates, letting the Guard take more damage
  • Soul Shield allows the Guard to manifest a shield
  • Sanctum creates a location that stops all attacks for a short period of time

The third track involves the ability to move and hit.

  • Thousand Steps is a movement buff
  • Altered Space gives enhanced inventory storage
