Team Composition
Player Bars
Heroes
Hero equipment
- All paragons should have Centurion's insignia on all pieces. All other characters should have Survivor runes on all pieces.
- All characters should have a Rune of Superior Vigor. Paragons should seriously consider a Rune of Celerity.
- Any extra rune slots should be filled with Vitae runes.
- All paragons should have a shield to reduce blind duration (such as The Interdictor, but with an appropriate attribute requirement).
- All characters should take Fortitude mods on their weapons, except where noted otherwise.
- Paragons should have 15^50% inscriptions and furious spearheads on their weapons.
- Casters should have +5e or HCT 20% inscriptions on their weapons.

Commandagon Hero
<pvxbig> [build prof=P/W spear=10+1+1 leader=10+2 command=11+1][Anthem of Weariness][Vicious Attack][Stunning Strike][Bladeturn Refrain]["Fall Back!"][Anthem of Envy]["Go for the Eyes!"][Aggressive Refrain][/build] </pvxbig>
Equipment
- A Furious spear is crucial here - no substitute is anywhere near as effective.
Utility Paragon (x2)
<pvxbig> [build prof=P/any spear=10+1 leader=11+1 motiva=10+1+1][Chorus of Restoration][Wild Throw][Blazing Spear][Finale of Restoration][Ballad of Restoration][Optional][Aggressive Refrain][Signet of Return][/build] Choose your elite based on the area:
- [[Empathic Removal] for most areas.
- [[Defensive Anthem@12] if your midline/backline tends to die to melee.
- [[Song of Restoration@12] if you simply need lots of healing (due to life steal, health degeneration, etc).
- [[Song of Purification@12] for especially condition-heavy areas.
- [[Expel Hexes] for especially hex-heavy areas.
- Consider also [[Mirror of Disenchantment] and [[Power Return@0] if necessary. Consider [[Inspired Enchantment@1] or [[Inspired Hex@1] in areas with monster-only enchantments and hexes. (You may need to micro these.)
- While Rend Enchantments is often superior to [[Shatter Storm], the later allows you to bring Power Return and/or Inspired/Revealed Enchantment/Hex.
- [["The Power is Yours!"] for areas with significant energy denial. (Remember that your paragons have essentially infinite energy under most circumstances.)
While normally a defensive character, some areas may render defensive elites on these characters unnecessary. In those cases, consider:
- [["Coward!"] to deal with kiting foes (who might otherwise dodge spear attacks, among other things).
- [[Cruel Spear] for normal mode or similarly simple areas.
For alternative methods of enchantment removal, consider [[Rend Enchantments@1] and [[Rip Enchantment@1].
For alternative attack skills (since two Wild Throws and two Blazing Spears are rarely ideal), consider:
- [[Vicious Attack@11] for deep wound.
- [[Spear of Lightning@11] for straight damage.
- [[Merciless Spear@11] if you want a "guaranteed" deep wound.
- [["Go for the Eyes!"@1] if you're not worried about damage output but want more Finale of Restoration triggers.
- You can also micro this with Vicious Attack if necessary.
- [[Spear of Redemption@11] for a self blind removal. (You may have to micro this.)
- [[Holy Spear@11] if you're expecting to have trouble with minions. Remember that you have an excellent source of daze from the commandagon.

<pvxbig> [build prof=Rt/? res=12+1 cha=12+1+1][Signet of Spirits][Bloodsong][Optional][Splinter Weapon][Spirit Siphon][Mend Body and Soul][Protective Was Kaolai][Flesh of My Flesh][/build]
- [[Shadowsong]
- [[Disenchantment]
- [[Dissonance]
- [[Ancestor's Rage] if you have a human melee to get in the middle of mobs. (Micro this.)
</pvxbig>
- Micro Mend Body and Soul if an ally gets a dangerous condition (daze, etc) and the hero doesn't immediately remove it.
Equipment
- Low energy set (spear and shield) so there isn't a big difference in energy when PwK is used.
