Lucky can be used to help Shadowheart maintain important Concentration Spells by re-rolling saving throws and Resilient can also help with those spells if you decide to increase your Consitution, as it is the ability score used for maintaining Concentration. Tough and Heavily Armoured can make Shadowheart a little more tanky, which can be important since you do not want your support and healer to go down. War Caster is a nice option for a feat, as it will also help Shadowheart keep Concentration and allows her to use Shocking Grasp as a reaction instead of a melee attack.
The ability score improvement is always a great option to boost Shadowheart’s Wisdom, Constitution, or even her Strength or Dexterity. Higher Wisdom will help Shadowheart with spellcasting ability and important checks like Perception and Survival. A Constitution upgrade helps Shadowheart gain health and maintain Concentration, which is very important. Strength or Dexterity upgrades are not as important but can help Shadowheart with melee ability, Initiative, and checks.
