Usage

 * Before beginning any match, use Anthem of Flame and charge up all your adrenal skills to maximum with Signet of Aggression.
 * Against high degen, and against Magni, use "Never Surrender!" to help your regen as you kite away from your opponent.
 * Against spellcasters, reapply Anthem of Flame before starting the match and open your attack with Stunning Strike. Anthem of Flame applies the Burning condition first, which means that you'll start out with an instant-Daze on any spellcaster, giving you a tremendous advantage.
 * Against attackers, start out with Barbed Spear and follow it with Maiming Spear to ensure that they can't reach you, then keep running away from them as you pepper them with spear attacks.
 * If you need healing, run to the side of the arena to catch as many spectators as you can within your aggro circle. For some odd reason, each spectator counts as an 'ally' for the purposes of Leader's Comfort, meaning that you can easily hit the 140 health limit.

Magni

 * Start out with Stunning Strike instead. He doesn't try to remove the Dazed condition, but he WILL try to remove the Burning. Let him do so, then hit him with Barbed and Maiming Spear. You now need to be careful, playing a hit and run game with him and ensuring that you always have Barbed and Maiming ready to reapply on him if he Purges the conditions again. Whatever you do, always ensure that you have about half an aggro-circle's distance away from him, or he WILL catch you if you're not careful.

Counters

 * Blind
