Abyssus Defense Blessings Guide
Defense Blessings in Abyssus focus on survivability by generating a Barrier that absorbs damage. This aspect is great for defensive or sustain-focused builds that want to stay alive longer while boosting damage when protected.
The Aspect of Defense grants the Barrier ability, which blocks incoming damage until it expires or is broken. Each additional Defense Blessing you take reduces incoming damage by 2 percent, further improving your durability.
