Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Cecilia the Red Hope'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. SPD - More turns means more hits.
  2. C.RATE - Up to 100%: every crit multiplies the hit.
  3. C.DMG - How much a crit adds - stack it once C.RATE is near 100%.
  4. DEF% - The skills' damage scales from DEF.

Gear set combinations

  • Ignores DEF on every hit, plus DEF - the all-round damage build.
    Gives: DEF +15%, Savage effect
  • C.RATE and DEF ignore in one set, with SPD to act more often.
    Gives: C.RATE +10%, SPD +12%, Lethal effect
  • Heals from its own damage - survives long boss fights.
    Gives: DEF +15%, Lifesteal effect
  • Three 2-piece sets when your 4-piece pieces are weak.
    Gives: DEF +15%, C.RATE +12%, SPD +12%

Blessings

  • Heavencast - Strong on attackers that keep many buffs on themselves; weak for a champion that rarely carries buffs.
  • Chainbreaker - Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.
  • Faultless Defense - Only works with [Increase DEF] cast by the champion itself, so it is for DEF-buffing protectors.

How blessings work

Relics

  • 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.
  • 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.
