Roberta has fewer shield options than Tormund, however. They can also purchase better weapons and shields at stores. Tormund and Roberta can get higher quality armor and robes respectively throughout the game, which presumably increase their defence. If a mote equipped to the shield of the played hero matches the type of a blocked attack, it can be reflected at the enemy. If a mote of a certain type is equipped to Tormund or Roberta's armor or robes respectively, they will take less damage from attacks of the matching element. Motes will be depleted by peforming attacks while a mote is equipped to the weapon. When an attack is charged, if Tormund or Roberta has enough magic the attack is powered up by the mote and has an additional effect such as poisoning an enemy or showing a beam of light. Both characters can enhance their attacks with motes which can be equipped to the weapon, shield, and armor. Later in Act 2 of the game, the player starts playing as Roberta, and only she can use magical attacks. In the beginning of the game the player plays as Tormund who uses a sword to attack enemies.
