*Arcane Ward gains charges from ''any'' Abjuration spell
**[[Cleric]] [[Cleric#Level 1 Spells|Level 1 Spells]] give access to both Shield of Faith and Sanctuary, neither of which require Attack Rolls or allow Saving throws, meaning that you can dump stat Wisdom and still get the full benefit.
**Spells cast from Scrolls also add to the intensity of the ward.
**{{SmIconLink|Armour of Agathys Icon.webp|Armour of Agathys}} is an upcastable Abjuration spell and synergizes a lot with Arcane Ward.
**{{SmIconLink|Warding Bond Icon.webp|Warding Bond}} grants, as a Level 2 Abjuration spell, 2 charges of Arcane Ward. You can use [[True Love's Embrace]] and the matching ring [[True Love's Caress]], too. Damage transferred from Warding Bond is reduced by Arcane Ward charges. This transferred damage does not trigger Armor of Agathys.
