Suggested build
A starting point worked out from Elder'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.

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
Defense
- T1Tough SkinDEF.
- T2BlastproofLess AoE damage taken.
- T3ResurgentCan shake off a debuff after a big hit.
- T4Delay DeathTakes less damage from the same enemy over time.
- T5Selfless DefenderTakes part of an ally's first hit each round.
- T6BulwarkTakes 5% of the team's damage for them.
Support
- T1SteadfastMAX HP.
- T2Lay On HandsStronger heals.
- T3Rapid ResponseTurn meter when its buffs expire.
- T4Lore of SteelStronger set bonuses.
- T5Lasting GiftsIts buffs can last a turn longer.
- T6Elixir of Life+3,000 MAX HP.
Blessings
- Chainbreaker - Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.
- Polymorph - A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.
- 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.
Relics
- 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.
