Chainbreaker - Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.
Polymorph - A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.

How blessings work

Relics

Journal of Necrotos - Boosts every heal and every turn-meter fill the wearer gives its allies, so the more of those a kit has, the more it gets.
Harp of Kasbiel - Support skills that do no damage still refill a little turn meter, so buffers and healers act more often.
Hand of Uncreation - Makes enemy debuffs, buff removal, turn-meter steals and cooldown increases land less often on the wearer - protects the champion that holds the team together.
