At the start of the round, places a 50% [Increase ACC] buff on all allies for 3 turns.

Whenever a debuff on an enemy is removed, expires, or has its duration decreased, fills this Champion’s Turn Meter by 5%.

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

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.

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.
Polymorph - A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.
Faultless Defense - Only works with [Increase DEF] cast by the champion itself, so it is for DEF-buffing protectors.

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.
Hoarder's Cauldron - Sometimes ignores some of the target's RES when applying a debuff, so a debuffer lands more of what it casts.
