Livia is a Priest Class Hero and unlocked after completing Ergenstadt during the main storyline. She is a very useful hero and used in many strategies - especially in Gauntlet.

## Storyline

Livia was born in the Empire of Kovia, under the rule of Emperor Tertian. She is the daughter of Kastor who once was a colleague of Reynar. After Reynar was sentenced to prison, Reynar felt that the court of Viena wasn't safe, so he had he join the Church of Convents and be a nun there.

Livia although has had the teachings of the church bestowed on her, and she has a frevor nature towards it, she does not exactly like how the conditions of which she was just left onto the doorsteps of the church and still holds a slight grudge on Reynar for that.

After the murder of Prince Medard, there have been numerous cases of Orcs terrorizing neighboring villages and harassing the roads to the church. After much deliberation, Livia and the city of Ergenstadt decided to break the bridge that leads from the forest and the city. When the Red Mage appeared with the Red Thorns, Livia had set up gunpowder explosives within the church located in the city and wanted to lure the Red Mage and the gang inside then blow them up. Fortunately, the companions managed to reach the city in time and kill the Red Mage before the plan transpired. With the church already been wiped, Livia joined the companion in their adventures.

## Stats

Livia has 33 life and 5 armor, making her a slightly above average when it comes to taking hits.

She has 8-10 damage, with an movement speed of 2+2, with a range of +4 which is more flexible compared to other priests.

**Frevor** gives Livia and her allies +1 damage, if Livia has done any damage during the turn.

**Anger** grants Livia +3 damage if there are any adjacent enemies beside her.

**Healer** allows her to heal adjacent allies 2hp at turn start.

Healer heals adjacent allies' and Livia's life by 1 (2, if upgraded) at turn start, which massively increases survivability in Gauntlet and other fights.

## Strategies

When it comes to Livia, she is the first Priest to be unlocked during the main story mode gameplay and combining it with the Priest's kit gives excellent coverage. Livia compared to other Priests has enough damage to actually contribute to chipping away at enemies as well as the fact that Livia has Healer ability which means she can tank more hits better if she gets too close and tries to trigger Anger.

The purpose of priest are the various card abilities that do draw cards, such as Omens,Like any other priest, she can also be used to cast abilities such as Delirium to cripple enemies and Anoint or Avatar of Gods to buff allies. These abilities are commonly used in any game mode.

Despite priests not having many useful cards in early game, there are a few "combos" to go for. In terms of mana income, Twice-Blessed Mace and Magister's Robe are easily accessible and perfectly fine. Mersaran Saint Pendant and the ability Serenity can be used to heal Livia and all allies by 4 for every ability played by Livia. With the right party, this can make fights very easy.

Mana Sacramentum is an equipment if you get it early can allow your whole party to gain mana per ability card used by Livia, meaning more damage and allows getting through any stages to be easier. If correctly used, all allies can easily gain 3+ mana each turn just from Spiritual Sacramentum. Gear like Dragon Tattoos, Spiritual Sacramentum and Silver-Etched Armor are very strong in late game and allow heavy mana strategies to be utilized.

By the Sword is the best ability card when it comes to boosting consistence for decks, to grab key damage dealing cards. By The Sword allows there to be 4 extra copies in a way of a card if there are only that attack card within the deck. This can be very strong in combination with rogues' Backstab and Blackjack or with mages' Voltaic Chain, Chtonic Tremors and similar abilities. See Farming Guide to learn of the Boom Build.

### Gauntlet

When it comes to Livia, the combination of the ability Crusader's Road and her Healer allows there to be always a source of passive healing available towards the party without too relying on heal cards themselves.
