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

A starting point worked out from Grunch Killjoy'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 - A support's value is how often it acts.
  2. ACC - To land [Block Buffs], [Bomb].
  3. HP% - To stay alive - a dead support helps no one.
  4. RES - Shrugs off enemy debuffs.

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

  1. T1Pinpoint AccuracyACC for its debuffs.
  2. T2Lay On HandsStronger heals.
  3. T3Healing SaviorStronger heals on allies in danger.
  4. T4Lore of SteelStronger set bonuses (Speed...).
  5. T5Lasting GiftsIts buffs can last a turn longer.

  4. T4Delay DeathTakes less damage from the same enemy over time.
  5. T5Cycle of RevengeTurn meter when allies are crit.
  6. T6Unshakeable+50 RES.

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.
  • Intimidating Presence - A good fit on a leader whose aura is worth boosting; wasted on a champion that is not leading.
  • Chainbreaker - Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.

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.
