Talent Tree

Alternatives

Blessing-slot context

Leaf's base slot counts are not present in the current hero source. Start with Whirlpool as the first Strike and add Energy Missiles only when capacity allows.

No Aegir?

Use Winter for Dive and Ice Shards. You trade grouping for Chill, Freeze, and Icebound support.

No Time?

Use Ninh for Great Wall and Earth Spike. Both retain the dash-to-Strike rhythm with more direct control.

Ball Lightning caution

Ball Lightning scales the dash side but prevents attacking during its state. Treat it as a deliberate Dash Damage variant, not a default pick.
