Okay, okay they're not just blue, these are shield spirits. If some of you are confused and didn’t know what the symbols in your spirits mean, we´re here to help you.

Spirits work in a rock-paper-scissors kinda way, with attack-shield-grab being the order following the same logic and each one of them having a specific color associated to them, shield being blue. There also exist neutral spirits that don’t excel or suffer in any specific area. As you can assume shield spirits help in your defense and longevity in the game.

So if you want to overcome the relentless offense of some attack spirits here are the best blue spirits to help you.
