For a non-Mythic team setup, Sileni Guard paired with a full Wildfolk team will keep you Barriered for days (as proven by the player’s Trial team) and effectively immune to Skull damage after just a few casts.
Caprichor
Lapina Explorer
Tooth of the Wild (Hero / Bard class)
Starflower
Fell Roost banner (+2 yellow, +purple, -green)
Caprichor is a very sturdy tank who buffs his own stats to tremendous levels with merely a cast or two.
Tooth of the Wild because I wanted an exploder/summoner weapon for the hero; Brown being the only color not yet covered after picking the other three tossed out the new weapon from this week – and because the new weapon is the one that doesn’t generate a storm from affixes – and I opted against Daisy’s Cudgel as not to leave Starflower double-color blocked.
At really high levels? I have the option of changing my Hero to Elementalist, which would mesh nicely with Caprichor’s “Clobber” trait. I also have the option of subbing in Faunessa for Starflower once opposition attack gets high enough to make that worthwhile.
