Overview
Frida empowers herself with various seals, and releases those seals to improve her allies whenever she reaches 100 Energy. Additionally, Frida and her allies work to reduce the size of the battlefield for their enemies, using both Consecration and Wave of Light to do so. Crusader allies provide additional damage and crowd control for Frida, while disciples heal wounded allies.
