Shrine Keeper

Shikigami manifest as protective wards. Party gains passive HP regen and the shikigami shields the Onmyoji from one hit.

"The kami do not fight my enemies. They protect my friends."

What Changes at Level 10

When a Onmyoji reaches level 10 and you select Shrine Keeper, three things change permanently:

1. Stat bonuses are added to the hero's ability scores immediately and permanently.
2. Active ability is replaced with the subclass variant (Sacred Ward).
3. Passive effect is unlocked and becomes active in all future runs.

Ability: Sacred Ward

Permanent Stat Bonuses

Shrine Keeper grants the following ability score bonuses on top of the Onmyoji base scores:

• +2 Spirit — adds to the Onmyoji base spirit score
• +1 Toughness — adds to the Onmyoji base toughness score

These bonuses stack with ability score points allocated from levelling. They cannot be removed without retiring the hero.

Passive Effect

Passively regenerates HP for all living allies each tick, scaling with Ability Power.

This passive is always active during combat — no gear or skill tree investment required to trigger it.

Recommended Skill Tree Themes

Magic (AP for regen and ward scaling), Defense (Fortification, Second Wind).

See the Skill Tree deep dive for the full 120-node reference and routing advice, or the Onmyoji build guide for a complete path recommendation for this class.

Shrine Keeper vs. Wrathcaller

Both subclasses unlock at level 10. Compare them to choose:

The choice is permanent — use a Scroll of Divergence consumable to re-select without retiring the hero.

Applying via Archetype

Set an Archetype with Shrine Keeper as the guild standard for Onmyoji — all future recruits of that class will automatically receive this subclass at level 10 without any manual selection.
