When to use it
Widely called the strongest defensive tool in the game and the reason a support Seer is near-mandatory in trios. Two details only the tooltip carries: it grants Super Armor as well as the death prevention, so the protected ally also stops being interrupted; and like Healing Art it is useless once someone is already down, which makes it a pre-emptive cast rather than a rescue.
