Piercing Mastery +

Improves ATK, S.HIT, and critical hit while using a sword, spear, or rapier.

DEF Communion +

Consumes up to 100 SP and grants party members Additive DEF for 10 minutes. Normal scaling per SP is Lv1 0.98, Lv2 1.28, Lv3 1.58, Lv4 1.88, Lv5 2.18; in PvP the scaling is reduced to Lv1 0.36, Lv2 0.47, Lv3 0.58, Lv4 0.69, Lv5 0.81.

Guardian +

Raises Additive DEF and Additive M.DEF by a percentage of the user's base values and blocks new Confusion, Frozen, Stun, Poison, Sleep, Slow, Stone, Silence, and Reborn while active. Guardian is a special ability buff, so movement, forced movement, knockback, and special-ability cancellation effects remove it.

Increase Hate +

Increases monster aggro generated toward the character. This bonus does not apply while possessing another character.

Reflect Shield +

Gives a chance to reflect eligible magic effects while a shield is equipped. In PvP, Reflect Shield can only trigger once every 3 seconds.

Aegis +

Toggles the Aegis buff for the listed duration. No connected stat, damage reduction, resistance, or combat interaction is currently attached to this buff, so it behaves as a visible timed buff only.

Spirit Protect +

Buffs valid allies in a 5x5 area around the user. While Spirit Protect is active, online possession removal effects that do not explicitly ignore Spirit Protect cannot forcibly cancel that character's possession.

Shield Impact +

Hits enemies in a 3x3 area around the target, starts a 4 second reuse timer, and opens Light of Darkness as a combo route. Damaged non-boss targets have a 70% Stun chance for 2 seconds, reduced to 20% if they have Stun resistance. A separate 40% roll can apply level-based stat debuffs for 20 seconds.

Spiral Spear +

Places a short-lived spear field at the target's position and opens Light of Darkness as a combo route. The field checks for enemies every 0.2 seconds for up to 2.5 seconds, dealing physical damage to valid targets. Damaged non-boss targets have a 15% chance to receive Stiffness for 1 second.

Strong Body +

Buffs valid allies in a 7x7 area. The caster receives a larger DEF bonus than allies. Additive DEF is a flat value calculated from each target's base Additive DEF.

Blocking +

While a shield remains equipped, incoming physical attacks against the user can be partially blocked. Blocking can also Stun the attacker. Shield Mastery adds +3% damage reduction per Shield Mastery Lv to the listed block reduction. In PvP, Blocking cannot be used while the caster is inside possession.

Fortress Circle +

Creates a non-stackable wall field at the caster's position. On cast, nearby enemies are knocked back 4 cells and the caster becomes unable to move for the duration. While active, the field repeatedly deals 150% physical damage to enemies and heals allies inside the area. Incoming damage to the caster is reduced to 0 while Fortress Circle is active.

If the caster has Light Healing, each healing pulse gains an additional +1%, +2%, or +3% Max HP based on Light Healing level.

Light of Darkness +

Faces the selected ground point and strikes enemies in a 3-wide, 5-cell line in front of the user. Lv1 and Lv3 are Holy; Lv2 and Lv4 are Dark. PvP halves the damage rate. After use, it opens combo routes to Shield Impact and Spiral Spear.
