Snowslide
The Snowslide spell is an essential AOE DPS spell for Cardinals. It has the ability to freeze enemies and can be particularly effective for crowd control. However, it is important to note that this freezing effect is broken as soon as the enemy is hit by another source of damage.
Vortex Magic

- Artic Blast
- Frost Spear
- Frozen Snare
- Cold Bolt
Tanking
While Cardinals are generally considered squishy, they are still fully capable of tanking dungeons. This is mainly due to the Divine Armor passive, which grants a 45% increase in maximum HP. This additional HP is especially advantageous for a healing class. To further enhance survivability, players can utilize evasion to dodge most hits and heal themselves with healing spells when necessary.
