Tree identities, effects, connections, and icons come from the official 0.5.2 export. The class corpus was checked 2026-07-30 for game version 0.5.4d.

Gameplay identity

Current official tree

Core mechanics

Imploding Impacts allows Armour to break below zero and turns fully broken Armour into increased Hit damage taken.
Answered Call and Wooden Wall connect Totems to Ancestral Spirits and damage redirection, while Warcaller's Bellow removes Warcry cooldowns and explodes Corpses.

Important tradeoff

Turtle Charm raises maximum Block but makes blocked Hits deal 20% of their damage instead of preventing the Hit completely.
