How to play
Decision notes for shops and formation — not a copy of the in-game panel.
Early
Draft after you have a tank who can hold bodies in place. Buy Mana Regen so Sanctuary lands every fight.
Mid
Bloomer = double Shields/heals after Stall and longer field. Fae's Kiss = more Poison + late Debuff amp. Earth's Child = add Frost/Burn ticks after Stall. Pick peel, Poison engine, or full status field.
Late
Stack Stall and Mystic Barrier pieces. Keep allies standing in the bloom on purpose.
Positioning
Mid-back so the field covers the main melee pit. Reposition after losses if enemies never enter the circle.

FAQ
Common questions when this hero shows up in the shop or draft.
Is Pollen good in Guildrun?
Excellent Stall sustain/status Mystic. Poor if fights end before Stall or enemies never stand in the field. Buy her to stabilize, not to solo clear Act 1.
What class is Pollen?
Mystic. Role focus: sustain field that Poisons enemies and Shields allies in the zone.
What relics work with Pollen?
Mystic Barrier/Protection/Abundance pieces and Stall enablers.
How do you play Pollen?
Hold enemies in Sanctuary, stack Mana Regen and Stall, and pick Bloomer for peels or Earth's Child for multi-DoT.
Tips
- Empty field = failed fight plan — move the tank, not only buy Magic.
- Bloomer without Stall is half-powered; add Stall or switch branch.
