II - FAQ

If a flying monster passes through a hero that has Holy Aura, does the monster suffer a wound for the space it “shares” with the hero?

No.

III - Tactics

In vanilla Descent or the copper level of the Advanced Campaign, Holy Aura can somehow be good. It is important however to understand correctly the Aura ability. Standing in the middle of a corridor, a hero with Holy Aura blocks more or less small monsters from passing next to him as they would suffer 3 wounds (1 for each of the square adjacent to the hero).

Shiver with Holy Aura is a deadly combo in vanilla Descent as few monsters can survive 5 wounds ignoring armor.

At the silver and gold levels of the Advanced Campaign, this skill becomes weaker and weaker.
