Master of Ceremonies [P]

Ascension 3
Whenever a [Sheep] debuff is removed or expires on an enemy, increase the cooldown of a random active skill on that enemy to its max.

Fills this Champion’s Turn Meter by 10% for each turn added to the cooldown.

If there are multiple Champions on the team with this skill, only one will activate. This skill will not activate on duplicate copies of this Champion, if this particular Champion is dead.

Skill texts, cooldowns and book upgrades are the game's own. "Damage" is the skill's multiplier (for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see how damage works.

Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Armanz the Magnificent's own skills - not a hand-tested build. Each line says why it was picked; your gear and team decide the rest. See what stats each champion needs.
