Core Passives:
Gear: Riot Guard Helmet, Tower Shield, Heavy Armor.
Strategy: Stack DEF, block chance, and arousal reduction. Damage is low, but you outlast any 1v1 or 1v2. Weak to magic/pleasure – bring Seductress passives if needed.

Passives are the backbone of Karryn’s effectiveness as a Warden. While Active Skills ( gated by Energy) require combat actions, Passives provide permanent stat bonuses, economic boosts, and combat triggers that define your playstyle.
Unlike weapons or armor, Passives are unlocked through specific Titles earned by performing actions in the game.
