Hero with this inspiration heals allies when using ally abilities.
==Strategy==
While Ephrem may seem like a healer or a support hero, his piercing strikes are very useful against enemies with high Armor -- like Golems or bosses. In those cases, he's often the most powerful offensive option available.
In particular, Ephrem buffed either by Zivko's Boost or his own Pure Force, is a prime boss killer in the game.
Reverend is also a great item user due to the Special boost his Sanctuary ability grants. An attack item, such as Frozen Flame or Bomb, can clear an entire encounter or one-shot a difficult enemy when used under the effect of Sanctuary. Likewise, his healing ability increases while under Sanctuary.
Prayer beads can be used either early on in the quest, effectively increasing Ephrem's base stats, or kept for emergency healing, as he otherwise has no way to restore his own Health.
