  • Kaia's Guard - Protects crystals from breaking upon death (works only once). This effect does not stack with Crystalbind or Complete Crystalbind.
    
    
    • All party members will receive this buff if grouped with a rookie.

    
    
    

  • Kaia's Valor – Increases attack by 12%. This does not stack with the Canephora Potion.
    
    
    • All party members will receive this buff if grouped with a rookie.

    
    
    

  • Kaia's Blessing – Upon death, the player can resurrect once (the effect is the same as Vow of Rebirth, but does not stack).
