Tactical Information

This skill is one of the Warden's three gambit builders. It adds a Shield to the gambit display. A sequence of gambit builders can be executed as a gambit, a more powerful skill that may provide additional effects. Although each gambit is unique, gambits that start with a Shield builder tend to focus on buffing or healing the Warden.
