Where Azure helps

Worked out from the kit: each area lists what helps there (from our mode guides), and these are the matches in this champion's skills. Not a hand-made rating - gear, speed and the team matter more.

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 Azure'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.

PvE

Stat priority

  1. HP% - Bigger HP pool to soak hits for the team.
  2. DEF% - Every point of DEF cuts the damage taken.
  3. SPD - Protection, taunts and buffs only help if they come in time.
  4. RES - Shrugs off enemy debuffs.
  5. ACC - Optional - only the A1 places [Stun], so other stats come first.

Blessings

  • Polymorph - A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.
  • Ward of the Fallen - Damage reduction that grows as the fight turns bad - good on a champion that must survive to keep the team's buffs and heals flowing.
  • Intimidating Presence - A good fit on a leader whose aura is worth boosting; wasted on a champion that is not leading.

How blessings work

Relics

  • Volcardiac Heart - Puts a protective buff on the whole team as the fight opens, which helps most when the first rounds are the dangerous ones.
  • 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.
  • Diadem of Undeath - Raises the wearer's DEF for each ally it has under its own [Ally Protection], which rewards a champion that shields others.
