ArchTeal.png Transferred Skills Notes:

Ardha is a perfect combination of everything a good pve team/demon needs: damage, heals, MP, etc. Ruin and Grace hits hard + heals a ton. His passive already gives Ardha a built in Divine brand alongside accuracy and healing modifiers. Perfect for boss fights or slow farming.
