How Pollen fits a formation
Pollen is a Mystic built around sustain field mystic and status hub. Pollen rewards clustered formations. Place the team so both allies and priority enemies remain inside the field.
Pollen base stats
Derived comparison values
EHP and EOFF are comparison composites; Sec / cast estimates a passive mana-fill interval. They help compare records but are not separate in-game stats.
Pollen ranks
Draft a duplicate of Pollen or use an eligible campfire event to rank up. Rank B chooses a fixed specialization; Rank A and S draft from the active class modifier pool.
Rank C
The base stat line starts with the active ability equipped.
Sanctuary of Bloom
Create a flower field for 5 seconds. Each second, inflict 1 (+ 1 per 8 Mana Regen ) Poison on enemies and apply 10 (+ 100% Magic ) Shields to Heroes inside the flower field. Each second after Stall ( 15 ), heal Heroes inside the flower field for 10 (+ 50% Magic ) .
Rank B
The first rank-up also chooses one of three fixed specializations. A path can add a class and change later offers.
The Bloomer
After Stall ( 15 ), Double Sanctuary of Bloom's healing and Shielding . It lasts 1 second longer.
The Fae's Kiss
After Stall ( 20 ), Sanctuary of Bloom inflicts 100 % more Poison . After Stall ( 40 ), increase the amount of Debuffs on all enemies by 33 (+33 per rank ) % . Backup.
The Earth's Child
+ MageAfter Stall ( 20 ), Sanctuary of Bloom also inflicts 1 per 33 Magic Frost and 1 per 25 Magic Burn each second.
Rank A
Gain the stat package above, then choose from modifiers generated by Pollen's active class set.
Rank S
Gain the stat package a final time and draft the last class modifier to complete the current Demo build.
Possible class modifiers
Later ranks offer modifiers from the hero's active class pool. Multiclass heroes receive a split offer set, so both class groups should contain useful outcomes before committing.

How to build around Pollen
- Preserve the first job.Make sure Pollen can already perform the role described above before adding a second engine.
- Choose a repeatable trigger.Match the specialization to an effect the current team can activate every fight.
- Protect the delivery condition.Range, mana, survival, and target access usually matter before another damage multiplier.
- Read the later pool.Choose an added class only when its Rank A/S modifier outcomes support the same plan.

Pollen lore
“Ohh.. can you smell that? This rift is alive.”
Guild profile
Guild Gaia Project - “Fight for tomorrow, not just today.” Grab a drink and raid some Rifts. Stall for more drinks, debuff on the morning after.
Background
Nobody at Gaia is entirely sure where she came from. She turned up at their second meeting and never left, because her strange ideas about rifts kept turning out to be right. Her senses run stronger than anyone's: colors carry meaning, music has flavor, and a rift sings to her in a structure only she can hear. Gaia treats her as something between a daughter and a researcher.
Motivation
She'll never fully leave Gaia, but she's drawn to a guild that takes on plenty of contracts. Just know she may wander off mid-contract.
