    AST Spire/Ewer?

    So I saw in the new updates for AST that the Ewer and Spire are now automatically given to all party members, no longer just single target. My question is that if a player/group already has a card active and applied to them will this overwrite those cards when they're used or am I not understanding their tooltips correctly?

    I'm also curious about this. If I have an extended balance on the dps, but I'm low on mana (Lucid Dreams on cd) and draw an ewer, am I supposed to just sit around and wait for their buff to expire and risk not having mana in case a tank buster or aoe dmg hits the party? Are we to run out of range of them so as to avoid overwriting the balance, or will the ewer/spire cards be put in a lower priority so as to not overwrite the other cards? And how do they interact with an expanded royal road if they're already aoe?

    In that specific scenario, i'd just overwrite the balance, it's one dps's extra damage vs your MP. A very easy decision.

    This, very much this. I can't stress enough to my co-healers to be selfish. If you don't take care of yourself first and won't use that ewer for your MP you won't be able to heal/support your party. If your DPS party members lose out on a buff, they will still be able to DPS.
