Masteries

The key pick in each tier of the two trees - hover or tap a mastery for the game's own text. How masteries work

  5. T5Cycle of RevengeTurn meter when allies are crit.
  6. T6Fearsome PresenceBetter odds for its crowd control.

Blessings

  • Temporal Chains - Speed control for the whole team: slower enemies act less often, which is why it is a staple for support and control champions.
  • Lightning Cage - Rewards teams that fight buffed enemies and gives any attacker a steady source of extra damage.
  • Brimstone - Damage that scales from the target's MAX HP and punishes enemies for using skills; guaranteed at the top level.

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.
  • Tempus Sanguinis - Makes the wearer's turn-meter reduction effects stronger, for champions that spend their turns pushing enemies back.
