Counters
A team's survival against an 8v8 team build's full damage usually relies on the runner's ability to cast weapons and party heals; a physical pushing to kill Life as it finishes casting or an inopportune interrupt on a weapon can easily lead to a team wipe. Glimmering Mark makes the bar more resilient against pushes, especially those without healing, but those situations still require the runner to maintain a weapon and prevents the usage of Life.
