behind you
But here's the thing. If I recall correctly, I destroyed the Rimescore during the Howling in the Dark side-quest so I don't know how Cait even got the grimoire.
Rimescore and Rimebound grimoire are two different cursed artifacts:
Rimescore is the cursed "sentient" ice sword you can find at the knot cave during Howling in the Dark (DrifaQuest), which can be destroyed, left to its own devices in which case it remains in the hands of its latest user, Asgeir, something that you can also do by giving it back to him before the boss fight if you stole it, given to Cait to add frost damage to some of her sets and spellpower, armor and ward to all of them, given to Drifa to turn her from a White Mage to a Black Mage and push her further into her corruption path, or kept by the player in one of three diferent forms, at the cost of a massive increase in corruption
Rimebound Grimoire is the cursed "frozen over" book you can purchase from Senja at Oxana's Manor after asking her for "special merch" for the first time, and, unlike Rimescore, it's classified as a key item, meaning the player can't use them by themselves. Once presented to Cait, while interacting with her, she'll give you some insight as to what it is, and you can then either convince her to study it, which unlocks the Frostheart set after one day, and also gives the player the Celestial Frost and Rime Veil powers, alongside some corruption, or you can tell her to play it safe and don't look into it, which leads her to give the book to Barney, who gives 3000 EC to the player and the Ring of Warmth to Cait, adding some spellpower and frost & fire resistance to all of her sets

I kept searching the wiki and testing ingame for ideias, as i had one for an other possible upgrade for Azyrran's Lightbearer Set could be:
-- To Dawn Lance you could add the total damage done as an extra coeficient in the healing calculations and also add an moderate/strong [ Icon-DF-Pos.png Shielded] effect to it aswell (as seen in Lumia's chosen they use a lot of shieldings in their abilities aswell like in the Celestial Form Power).
-- Than having in mind balacing this with the above mentioned you could swap Argent Smite with the Command Pheromones Power (wich is also thematic), than the Toughness stat should be also almost or entirely shifted towards Presence so to be able to also benefit Command Pheromones.


Than there is what i have been testing lately wich is Azyrran's Hive Knight Set.
It seem from the other initial tanks she seems to be the weakest of them all, and that probably is due the lack of the Shield Drive within the set Powers.
-- One could simply swap Cleave for Shield Drive, yet that would make her eeirly similiar to the others yet her performance would be more in par with them.
-- Ou one could swap Argent Smite for shielding Shielding Smite wich would still bean upgrade from the before defensively yet and an slight bit inferior in the departmrnt of hreat generation and to the above to not having threat generatiom and the Remove [ Icon-DF-Neg.png Sundered] ability wich can wreck any tank if too much damage is dealth in an short period of time.
