A tanky healer who can buff and defend allies, allowing them to take the brunt of blows while their teams burns things down.
Before engaging in combat you'll summon your Spirit Ashes and then buff you and them with Golden Vow to increase damage and defenses. Use Barricade Shield when facing Bosses or tough enemies to be able to tank while your summons or companions burn enemies down.
Boosting Faith will also increase your damage and healing/buffs so prioritize this over Strength, and only use Strength to meet weapon and shield requirements.
Once you gain Heal you'll be able to heal yourself and allies around you, prolonging the life of your summons.
