Which route for node 8 on emblem path Guardian Owl?

Hello, quation about Guardian Owl, very slow heroe. Is the healing bonus 2% relevant or should I go attack bonus. For me his use is Tank in Alliance War defence team.

If you’re using him as war defense tank, go defense. You want him to live long enough to fire.

Personally, I wouldn’t give him mats or emblems, but I’ve been blessed with many better heroes. You make the best of what you have.

Go attack and shield direction. The extra shield will make up for the lost heal imo.
