Everything Is Permitted [P]
Whenever an enemy’s HP drops below 25% after receiving damage from any Assassin, they receive additional bonus damage proportional to this Champion’s DEF. This bonus damage will ignore 100% of the target’s DEF and cannot be critical.
Damage 2×DEF

Siwa's Pride [P]
Ascension 3This Champion and their allies cannot receive critical hits from enemies whose ACC is equal to or lower than their own ACC.
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 Bayek'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.

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
Support
- T1Pinpoint AccuracyACC for its debuffs.
- T2Charged FocusMore ACC when no skill is on cooldown.
- T3Rapid ResponseTurn meter when its buffs expire.
- T4Lore of SteelStronger set bonuses (Speed...).
- T5Lasting GiftsIts buffs can last a turn longer.
- T6Timely InterventionTurn meter when an ally drops low.
Defense
- T1DefiantRES.
- T2BlastproofLess AoE damage taken.
- T3ResurgentCan shake off a debuff after a big hit.
- T4Delay DeathTakes less damage from the same enemy over time.
- T5Cycle of RevengeTurn meter when allies are crit.
- 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.
- Intimidating Presence - A good fit on a leader whose aura is worth boosting; wasted on a champion that is not leading.
Relics
- Hoarder's Cauldron - Sometimes ignores some of the target's RES when applying a debuff, so a debuffer lands more of what it casts.
- 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.
