Guide
With the Dragon's Call update (1.4), protection received a decreased cool down (i.e., 9 -> 8 s) and an increased duration (i.e., 2 -> 3 s). With these buffs, Torvald's protection ability is much stronger than when Hi-Rez first released him.
The point of this deck is reducing protection's cooldown while regenerating your shields. Timeshaper V reduces protection's cooldown to 5.5 s, and chronos III further reduces it to 3.85 s. With Thanks, Grandpa, you can shield your teammates constantly. The other four cards are means to regenerate your shield. Distribute points based on your play style. If you are more aggressive and can score a lot of eliminations, then max out Glyph of Siphoning, but if you are more supportive and rely on your teammates to eliminate enemies, then max out Hearthwarder. This deck works well with any team composition, but it is especially powerful when playing with a Terminus or Ruckus because it sustains them longer and allows them to do more damage.
