Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Bivald of the Thorn'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.

Relics

  • Torch of Thralldom - Raises the wearer's stats for each ally of the same faction - strong on teams built around a single faction.

  • 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.
