Third Power: While holding Barrier, heal for 15% of damage blocked and gain 30% move speed. Helps sustain during pushes and plays safe between fire strike volleys.
R7
Shield Stampede
Late game (optional 4th power): Makes charge shielded — prevents being stunned or booped during pin. Extra survivability for aggressive plays.

Impact Burst
Alternative late game power: Adds an explosion to Fire Strike's first hit. Expands the AOE 'Bowser fireball' fantasy and fits the fire spam concept perfectly.
