Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Greenwarden Ruarc'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.

Blessings

  • 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.
  • Iron Will - Helps durable champions that often carry debuffs - against boss debuffs and in the Arena.

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.
