Simple spirit spammer build that uses defensive spirits to provide powerful defense and support to the party.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=ritua/any commun=12+1+3 spawni=12+3][Soul Twisting][Shelter][Union][Displacement][Armor of Unfeeling][optional][Boon of Creation][Optional][/build] slots

Equipment

 * +60HP Staff, other staff upgrades don't do much. Inscription is up to your choice because the hero doesn't really benefit that much from them. "Aptitude not Attitude" is the best choice, but not necessary.
 * Full Blessed/Shaman's
 * Vitae runes, best vigor you can afford.

Usage

 * Cast spirits before battle. Keep in mind Soul Twisting can be queued easily.
 * Avoid using Displacement if attacks aren't a threat.
 * In tough fights, disable/micro Union.
 * Always use Shelter before Union. If the hero fails to do so the spirits need to be micro'ed.
 * Set the hero to [[Image:Hero command Guard.jpg|25px]] Guard Mode.

Variants

 * Additional offensive Communing spirits.
 * Bringing only 2 defensive spirits (usually Shelter + Displacement) can save space and help heroes not run out of ST charges.

Counters

 * Spirits affect minions, making the use with a minion bomber inadvisable.
 * Enchantment removal.
 * Spirits dying from AoE.
