Where Broodlord helps

Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Broodlord'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.

  5. ACC - To land [Decrease SPD], [Stun], [Provoke].

Blessings

  • Polymorph - A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.
  • 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.

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.
