(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 Canoness'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
HP%- Bigger HP pool to soak hits for the team.
DEF%- Every point of DEF cuts the damage taken.
SPD- Protection, taunts and buffs only help if they come in time.

Blessings
Chainbreaker- Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.
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.
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.
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.
Tempus Morbidia- Enemy turn-meter reduction and steals work less well on the wearer - useful where a slow support is easy prey.
