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 Clarity.

All paragons should have a shield to reduce blind duration (such as Eye of Argon).
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.

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.)
[["The Power Is Yours!"@12] 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@11] for normal mode or similarly simple areas.

For alternative methods of enchantment removal, consider:

[[Rend Enchantments@1]
[[Rip Enchantment@1]
While Rend Enchantments is often superior to [[Shatter Storm], the later allows you to bring some of the above Mesmer skills.

For alternative attack skills (since two [[Wild Throw] and two [[Blazing Spear] are rarely ideal), consider:

[[Vicious Attack@11] for deep wound.
[[Swift Javelin@11] for an attack that should never miss.
[[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.
[[Disrupting Throw] for areas where foes use rez skills or other strong which annoy you.

[[Shadowsong]
[[Disenchantment]
[[Dissonance]
[[Ancestor's Rage@14] if you have a human melee to get in the middle of mobs. (Micro this.)
Micro [[Mend Body and Soul@13] if an ally gets a dangerous condition (daze, etc) and the hero doesn't immediately remove it.
For the areas with lots of hexes [[Cure Hex], [[Remove Hex] or [[Smite Hex] can be taken.

</pvxbig>

Equipment

Low energy set (spear and shield) so there isn't a big difference in energy when PwK is used.

[[Foul Feast@9]
[[Rip Enchantment]

Usage

Set all heroes to guard mode.
You will need to micro Aggressive Refrain, though hopefully only once.

Counters

Anti-melee, anti-adrenaline, and anti-shout hexes like [[Empathy], [[Soothing Images], [[Ineptitude], [[Insidious Parasite], [[Meekness] or [[Vocal Minority].
