  1. SPD - More turns means more hits.
  2. C.RATE - Up to 100%: every crit multiplies the hit.

  6. T6Unshakeable+50 RES against crowd control.

Blessings

  • Phantom Touch - Extra damage on every attack suits anyone whose job is to hit, and it needs no particular debuff or buff to work.
  • Cruelty - Many hits per turn means the target's DEF melts away; best on multi-hit attackers and in long boss fights.
  • Lightning Cage - Rewards teams that fight buffed enemies and gives any attacker a steady source of extra damage.

How blessings work

Relics

  • Lens of Intangibility - A flat chunk of DEF ignored on every hit, and a free Perfect Veil each round that raises it - works for any hitter.
  • Irethi Coronet - Damage climbs with each debuff the wearer places, up to a cap - made for champions that apply several debuffs per turn.
  • Immortal Visage - A built-in second life once per round: it keeps a key champion in the fight long enough for its kit to matter.
