Unique Trinkets
🔸Each Hero has their own 3 unique Trinkets, exclusive only to them.

General
Vestal is both a support and a damage dealer, having great flexibility regarding her skills and ranks. However, Vestal's low speed and big Cooldowns on her skills along with her unique Conviction token make it crucial to plan and choose well which skills to use in combat as Conviction is able to make skills much more powerful (Consuming these tokens in the process). Both Consecrations,  Sanctuary, etc. can be used to support the team and generate large amounts of Positive tokens  while waiting to get Conviction , and then use them in her skills such as  Divine Grace  or  Mace Bash  either for large amounts of healing  to her allies or to deal a devastating blow to the enemies. In the front ranks Vestal can use Hand of Light  to give herself and her allies  Strength. This in preparation with x3  Conviction can make   Mace Bash do large amounts of damage while also buffing the adjacent ranks DPS, this can work very well with heroes likeHellion  or Highwayman. When paired with Highwayman the player can consider not  Upgrading  Consecration of Light so it gives guaranteed  Strength paired with the Critsfrom Take Aim. On the other hand when Using Chaplain path Hand of Light will giveStrength to herself but  Block to her allies, increasing team survivability. While in the back ranks  Consecrations and other support skills like Ministration gives you the time to get  Conviction, skills like  Divine Grace can heal a great amount of 50% HP  when  x3  Conviction, on the other hand don't underestimate  Judgement's  potential damage as +100% extra damage and the 4Burn  is able to kill several units by itself and more when it CRITS.
